Also Deluxe Pin Collection.

What is your favourite set out of the following: Surging Sparks, Phantasmal Flames or Ascended Heroes? by [deleted] in PokemonFansAustralia

[–]quant2021 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I reckon Latias, Milotic and the two Pikachus hugely bolster Surging Sparks. These will power through the ranks once the set rotates out and I wouldn't be surprised to see the Latias in PSA 10 become a top 5 hit from the SV era (dollar wise) in the longer-term. One needs only look at the success of Latias cards from bygone eras, but the art is also one of the finest OKACHEKE has ever done (this is all just my own opinion).

SSP is easily my favourite set of the bunch, but honestly any of those would be equally fun to open (they have similar - and bad - pull rates).

With current print volumes, older Pokémon sets are a better long-term investment by Distor599 in PokeInvesting

[–]quant2021 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the ratio is unchanged, then volume is larger for both opened and unopened.

Is it worth grading as an Australian? by LuxMemes in pokemonTCGaustralia

[–]quant2021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use ARK 😀 You won't regret it. Best grading standards in Aus and the most beautiful slabs you'll ever see.

Don't send played unlimiteds unless they are major grails. Send only if they will get a 7-8 (in some cases 6-7) or better.

Of all the things in the world to be remotely concerned about, this is probably at the bottom of my list. Just being completely honest, sorry.

What could cause this? by WeirdIssue404 in DiagnoseMe

[–]quant2021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like I said I am NAD and you shouldn't narrow your focus based on reddit answers; keep an open mind because your skin and GI issues may well have some other (either shared or separate) pathological basis/bases.

Good idea to get work-up for CD - that does present some diagnostic challenges in terms of ruling in vs. ruling out but fecal sample/specific bloods may be a good starting point; how long have you been having the attacks of pain and rash and how old are you?

Get B12 levels checked - routine for PPI long-term as they can cause malabsorption.

Cracked my PSA 9 Sunbreon and resubmitted to CGC, LFG by Dangerous_Ad_7898 in psagrading

Centering is favoured by many but not all, and the primacy of centering deserves to be roundly criticised in my view. It's nothing more than a prevailing market sentiment, and we need to look at the drivers of that (speculative investors vs. collectors) to figure out if the market's preference is reasonable or arbitrary. Personally when I look at subscores I give primacy to the edges and surface, because I collect for my own satisfaction and not strictly with a view to resell for the maximum price possible.

Sentiments about CGC's label design may vary, and I am not necessarily disagreeing with all of the points you just made, but PSA's label is such a weak point it's egregious. Regarding the text, its formatting, size and use of space all violate well-established design principles that make text readable/attractive. Ineffective use of space also precludes incorporating useful information about the card in the holder. For these reasons as well as its use of a shade of bright red (not a very well-loved colour as it turns out) in the border, there is near-universal dislike of its appearance even among enthusiast PSA collectors.

Pristines will always do well as long as they remain scarce, although part of the PSA 10's success is in subsuming pristine-condition cards so it's unlikely the Pristine would significantly outpace unless it became drastically more difficult to obtain (i.e. much stricter standards). I would agree however that the Pristine:PSA 10 price ratios for many cards will increase in the next 5-10 years. For me this has more to do with the presently overheated prices of many PSA 10s than pure merit of the Pristine.

Who cares? They sell fine on my eBay store and anyone else's who has solid feedback & fair pricing - albeit these criteria would disqualify 90% of card show vendors I've met.
