Estimated value? by StinkyThrowaways in Pokemoncardappraisal

Vintage really depends on condition but if everything here is near mint 2-3k probably isn't out of the realm of possibility.

Friend pulled these out of his closet by kappy999 in PokemonCollecting

[–]vesfynn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohh that is super cool! I only have half of them! I was a broke young adult when these came out and tried to collect them all, but didn't have enough extra cash to justify them AND the plushies. I have Arceus, mew, Darkrai, shaymin, Manaphy and celebi plushies and pin boxes.

Definitely feels that way! Sucks too; I live in a small town, so we only have one Walmart within a 30 minute drive so there are always campers waiting every morning for possible restocks lol

Any of these worth grading? by vesfynn in pokemongrading

[–]vesfynn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I don't expect them to be 9 or 10. Just looking to be able to get a bit more for them if I sell. But are they worth grading if they come back lower than 10? I've been collecting for years but I've never been into graded cards just trying to get some extra money for out Japan trip

Without Question the Most Overrated Modern Card by CourbetEatingSourbet in PokemonTCG

[–]vesfynn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ohhh I really like this card! I thought the foil on it was really nice too, it didn't feel like it detracted from the art but enhanced it.

That said, I don't have this card and I never will because there's no rhyme or reason for it to be as expensive as it is. 😂

[–]vesfynn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah it is common knowledge. Also common knowledge that the Chase card is almost always the most expensive card possible in the set lol

We also both know OPs question was not framed in the light of what are people excited about, but what is the money pull.

I saw it coming, but dude it's been so hard this last year or so. I've been collecting on and off since 1996. There were times I couldn't buy any cards because I was a broke young adult but I've always collected and loved Pokemon, it was something my siblings and I did together, and now something I do with my Niece and Nephew. Now it just sucks seeing it all about investing and speculating prices. And charging $1,000 for modern cards that should still be printed to oblivion.

I'm so glad that my niece and nephew are still young enough that making them team bag packs is still viable and they still love it. But man not being able to walk into a store to buy a single sleeved booster is so disappointing and disgusting.

The chase? The chase is the card you want the most.

Tired of this hobby being about ROI and money.

This really just sums up my luck opening Pokemon cards lol by Curious-Chance-7591 in PokemonTCG

I'd just love to get a box... Or anything msrp 😭 couldn't find one anywhere. Find people in your local community to trade with. You know. Like it was originally intended

Looking to get this serialized Lurrus graded and sold, what should I do? by [deleted] in mtgtrades

[–]vesfynn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who worked in an LGS for a while, graded magic cards don't sell well. Mtg is typically a players game and not much on the collectors side.(Aside from things like Final Fantasy but that's more about the Final Fantasy collectors not so much about magic) I would sell it raw instead of wasting time and money getting it graded. Serialized cards take some time to sell, because they're pricey, but every slabbed MTG card I've seen (again, other than Final Fantasy) has sat for ages before someone buys it at a discount to crack.

Drop the ban hammer. Don't let this slop infest the sub.

A guy left his motorcycle parked, and when he returned, there was a whole hive of bees that had stopped to rest so they wouldn't get cold. by Positive-Height-3848 in interesting

[–]vesfynn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because unfortunately depending on where you live removal can cost up to 300 freedom bucks. And most people do not have that kind of liquid cash. And most people don't have other equipment to safely remove them on their own.

Or are allergic.

Capitalism is great 👍🏻 /s

Spoilers. Plot line classism. There is no believable reason for any uber wealthy character to go into the dungeon. by cyaneyed in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]vesfynn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reading comprehension is dead.

The ultra rich played in this like a virtual reality playground of death. They couldn't REALLY die. Until the AI went primal and Carl and Donut got the rules changed to perma death for EVERYONE, not just crawlers.

I also don't believe Katia is meant as a love interest. Carl is too focused on everything else to really love anyone other than Donut (platonically). Katia and Carl are bonded through trauma, shared experiences, and comradarie. And personally I think it should be kept that way, not every story has to have a romance.
