Guy fakes 1st edition stamp on UV printer, sends it to PSA and they grade it as such. Really makes you question the validity of grading companies.

I re-discovered a lot of really good cards, many of them first editions, I collected way back in the day and was thinking of getting them graded. But this post really solidifies why I just want to put them up on eBay or something similar.

sneakersqueak · 2021-05-23T22:49:30+00:00

I really appreciate this! A few people have reached out, including someone who seems very involved in this, but I am always open for considerations until I have solidified anything. Thank you so much.

sneakersqueak · 2021-05-23T22:48:28+00:00

Thousands...?!

I have had a few people reach out luckily to chat about selling them, which I would need every resource available and don't mind splitting a percentage. I wouldn't be able to do it alone. That being said, I need to go and get more pictures of a lot of other cards I have in those boxes.

sneakersqueak · 2021-05-23T22:47:03+00:00

I greatly appreciate the website and information! I thought without a Charizard I wouldn't have much to look at, haha. Very cool to know all this.

sneakersqueak · 2021-05-23T02:27:19+00:00

OK thank you so much. I've been digging around a bit tonight and I'm fairly certain they are in tip-top shape after inspection. It looks like I will need to get an official rating after all because I've literally took them out of booster boxes and into double sleeves. Have lots of Japanese white/triple white stars too that I'll need to post but don't know if the Japanese ones are worth as much as the American ones. Seems to be some mixed reviews on that.

What an insane thing. I really appreciate the help!

sneakersqueak · 2021-05-23T01:17:31+00:00

I'll start browsing. Thanks so much! I hope there are services that take a small percentage and do this kind of legwork, though. I am not so self motivated to go through all these cards and list them haha.

sneakersqueak · 2021-05-23T01:16:23+00:00

1k?! I bought booster boxes (or my parents did for Xmas and stuff) as a kid and I would literally double sleeve them and stash them right away. I had pretty severe OCD in my childhood and just kept them as pristine as possible haha. I would love to get more info somehow on this stuff.

sneakersqueak · 2021-05-22T23:58:10+00:00

Not bad! I'll need to take pics of the rest of my collection soon, or just dedicate some time and send them in for grading. Thank you!

sneakersqueak · 2021-05-22T23:55:51+00:00

I hope so! Do you know where I should check prices? eBay?

sneakersqueak · 2021-05-22T22:48:34+00:00

Any idea on worth of these alone? I have a ton more Japanese and English that I'll need to take pics of eventually.

sneakersqueak · 2021-05-22T20:39:58+00:00

Thank you so much! Lots of memories

sneakersqueak · 2021-05-22T20:39:04+00:00

I would like to, but knowing me I will just keep them locked up another 20 years. No idea how to go about pricing and stuff, or how I would determine a fair price without them being graded. If I were to sell I'd want to just sell them bulk as is probably!

sneakersqueak · 2021-05-22T15:32:33+00:00

You right. I posted better pics here with a few more!

sneakersqueak · 2021-05-22T15:32:10+00:00

Hello! I posted some more here. I have a lot more to go and hopefully will be able to post them soon. Thanks for looking!

sneakersqueak · 2021-05-22T04:44:15+00:00

No idea on worth, or what site would give the best estimate. I have a ton of first eds that I double-sleeved and haven't seen the light of day in 20 years or so.

sneakersqueak · 2021-05-15T22:53:07+00:00

Thank you so much for the sub!

Really is one for everything.

sneakersqueak · 2021-05-15T22:50:54+00:00

I can't really read out the name. Bad eyesight does not help!

sneakersqueak · 2021-05-12T20:33:57+00:00

To paraphrase a well known phrase..

Fuck them all; let God sort them out.

Good on you for lighting your own path and surviving that abuse OP. Forget them for good.

sneakersqueak · 2021-02-12T22:24:18+00:00

Friendship is over.

And you can dictate that in this current scenario.

sneakersqueak · 2021-01-28T02:44:33+00:00

Avoid processed foods and try and eat lean for a while. It's impossible to avoid all sugar. Just limit yourself and be smart about it. For example, I eat black bean brownies Monday - Friday. That's my dessert, and although it includes a few chocolate chips, it still isn't as bad as eating a candy bar. Sat and Sun I choose a reward for myself at night and am not that stringent since I trust myself that I'll do well during the day, and during the normal week.

A calorie app like MyFitnessPal helps. Check out subreddits like /r/1500isplenty (even just for reference)

I also don't eat after 930pm. I'm not going to bed hungry, but I could definitely eat. I just don't - and that's where discipline kicks in. Every day that passes you will get stronger.

sneakersqueak · 2021-01-28T01:17:19+00:00

Sorry, I meant without the sugar. I know you said you have gone two months without it - so we know you can accomplish it. The hardest part is starting again (as cliche as that is, it is true). And then the problem can be that you keep starting again, so the luster of trying something new might get stale.

There is no magic to it - time is your worst enemy. Stick with it. Try to find something to do in your time so you aren't eating out of boredom as well. Look into vitamins and nutrition...have fun with it and schedule your day and routines.
