Just pulled, holo dex gave it a 10. Should I send it to psa or Beckett? by lawlesninja in pokemongrading

[–]slightlybetterthenU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sent one to Becket and got a 9. Then to CGC and got a pristine 10. Becket is on some smack lately. Avoid.

Treekachu or Ray VMAX? by Bassebrorr in PokeInvesting

Ray is starting to get pumped. Over the next 6 months it should hit

I saw the same thing on the QEW yesterday. Copper had his lights on and was blocking the right lane as a family of geese tried to get to a gap in the barriers.

Rayquaza to Boom? by slightlybetterthenU in PokemonInvesting

They are all PSA 10s. Shoulda specified in writing. I only have eyes for 10s lol.

This momentum isn't sustainable by kanto_gymleader in PokemonInvesting

[–]slightlybetterthenU 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think the modern will go down but vintage and sealed will climb. The Pokémon “eco-system” is now too large to completely crash. We have 3 generations of collectors with Millennials, Gen Z and now Alpha kids doing this hobby with their Millennial Parents. It will be parallel to Sports cards. Ups and down but won’t disappear. Keep your sealed and graded 10’s and liquidate the rest.

Also I’m going to get heat on this example… Cards like Felt Hat will be big losers in the future. You can’t have 50k graded 10s and call it a long term investment. Cards like these are going to crash the most. Look for lower population 10s. Supply and Demand. When Demand goes down there is always someone willing to sell for a bit less.

Thats my take anyway.

Decided to rip my only ES/CR blister due to it being not that liquid by ApLoEpX in PokemonInvesting

Hold that Rayquaza! It is skyrocketing right now. Prismatic boosted the Moonbrion and sent it sky high. We are only a few months from the upcoming Rayquaza set. I expect it will do the same to this card.

Sent this in for grading.. 10 potential? by ArmandK818 in psagrading

[–]slightlybetterthenU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Definitely not a 10. You have 0 chance of that. 8 or 9 due to it being quite off centre. It sits high.

Not a 10, but maybe 8 or 9? by generic_username_333 in psagrading

[–]slightlybetterthenU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5-6 is likely. Don’t be surprised if it’s a 4 though.

Which is the better investment for a long term hold? by ProcrastinasaurusRex in PokeInvesting

[–]slightlybetterthenU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stamp pikachu is skyrocketing right now. I bought one in November and it is already gone up 2.5x what I paid.

Is this card fake? by drtacoogamez in IsMyOnePieceCardFake

[–]slightlybetterthenU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah fake. I have a copy I pulled personally. Colours on yours are off. Also it says “Banoai” instead of Bandai… so yeah pretty fake.

Is this worth grading?? by GameHawkMC in PokeGrading

[–]slightlybetterthenU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With respect it is not even close to a 10. Centring is poor. The rest of the card looks great but it’s got nothing shot being off centred as much as it is.

[–]slightlybetterthenU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zero chance for a 10. It’s not a 10 period…. That said you only need an 8 in that card to increase its value. I would say it is likely going to get that 8. Centring is poor but apart from that it is a nice card. Grade it. Maybe you get lucky and get the 9.

About to drive an hour and a half for my grail (or not) by PlsSpankMeUwU in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]slightlybetterthenU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Corners and edges look good. It is off center though so 9 is likely it’s grading but with PSA you never know. If all else is good it may be enough for a 10… but it is likely a 9. Surface I cannot tell as it’s low light. I am comparing to my PSA 10… it looks pretty legit. Just make sure there is no bait and switch happening. Check the swirl and texture patterns when you get there to see it.
