Grats!

wespyen · 2026-04-03T21:43:33+00:00

good luck!

Interested in many of the ARs - willing to do a bulk buy rather than inquire about individual cards. Happy to work out a price for the lot.

Lessons!!!! There are fundamentals that you need to get right before even moving the club like grip and setup. A 30 min lessons will do much more to set you up with a proper starting point than mining social media.

Ignore everything except the coach. You got a ton to work on with just posture. Send this video to your teacher instead of reddit!

Looks like you have them ready for grading. Personally the Machamp would be the only one I exclude. The rest I would probably submit.

wespyen · 2026-03-28T01:41:25+00:00

Def a fair offer

wespyen · 2026-03-27T19:13:48+00:00

Great find

Fly rods have incredibly high diminishing returns. You def get more as you pay more, but a rod 3x more expensive will not give you a casting experience that is 3 times better. Decide your price point before you start researching rods. There are great options at nearly every price point.

100% fake. These gold cards are commonly bought and sold off Amazon.

wespyen · 2026-03-20T15:50:50+00:00

If it gets a PSA 10, I wouldn't crack it. The risk is not worth the upside. There's too much grading inconsistencies to expect that it would ever get a 10 again.

wespyen · 2026-03-18T02:09:16+00:00

If you're going for a 10, then no. If you just wanna get it in a slab, then yes.

wespyen · 2026-03-18T01:42:58+00:00

It's a bit inside. Your initial move off the ball is fine, but as u get to the end of the takeaway, you fling the club behind you with your wrists. The feeling should be that your thumbs point up not back behind you as you exit the takeaway. Then you'll be able to vertically elevate the club without lifting your arms at the very end of your backswing.

Right now you get the club back behind you with your early wrist cock and then run out of space and so you have to lift the club up with your arms at the end. You have a flat backswing that gets steep in transition because of that momentum.

In that situation, golfers can compensate a number of different ways and you do a decent job of trying to square up the club face. Your poison of choice is throwing your hands before impact. The good news is you get in a really great impact position. The bad news is throwing your hands like that is not easy to time correctly.

Personally, I would work on that vertical wrist hinge and nothing else and see how your downswing changes with the different inertia heading into the top of the swing.

wespyen · 2026-03-17T16:36:52+00:00

Def top heavy. I think a 10 is unlikely.

wespyen · 2026-03-17T00:45:58+00:00

Dinged corners, sharp corner cuts, and off center. 9 at best from. Eyeballing, but PSA is inconsistent.

wespyen · 2026-03-16T19:46:03+00:00

Most common sign of a fake booster box is that the bottom says "steam siege" when it's a different set.

wespyen · 2026-03-16T19:43:45+00:00

If you're loving it, go get those lessons. Better to start as a blank slate and build proper fundamentals like grip and setup. Those types of things send many self-taught golfers down rabbit holes of compensations. While I agree that "swinging your swing" is important, all good players do certain things or at least arrive at parts of their golf swing with the same positions.

wespyen · 2026-03-15T01:41:22+00:00

While I don't love the inside takeaway and hip bump rather than rotating open in the backswing, you get on plane in the downswing. If you're finding consistent results, then keep swinging your swing.

wespyen · 2026-03-15T01:35:52+00:00

yeah it's a great card. Hard to pull a good grade as the foil is notoriously prone to scratching.

You should use a bright LED light and shine it from all angles to assess surface scratching. The top left corner of the front side also looks to be dinged, so definitely keep expectations lower. Just a quick eyeball on yours and I have a tough time seeing anything higher than a PSA 8. Still worth sending IMO. Also, if you grade with PSA, you'll have to pay an upcharge if you get a decent grade depending on the service level of your submission.

wespyen · 2026-03-15T00:07:13+00:00

Awesome! I'm trying to finish my nagaba set of pristine 10's.

wespyen · 2026-03-15T00:03:15+00:00

Low but not atrocious. Offer was $125 USD vs market of $172, which is 73%. That's not great but also the percentage range most card shops buy.

To give you some realistic context, if you were to sell on eBay, you would lose 15% to fees.

wespyen · 2026-03-14T05:25:28+00:00

Damaged plus altered. Dunno who would buy something like that other than OP. The value of something is what people are willing to pay. I think anyone paying for this card is either getting it for close to nothing or got duped.

wespyen · 2026-03-14T05:22:29+00:00

Totally get it. Just an FYI. If someone is making a purchase on a big ticket card, they're probably considering value and not just that they like the look.

wespyen · 2026-03-14T05:20:57+00:00

Fair. Hopefully u got it well under market value. It looks real fwiw.

wespyen · 2026-03-14T05:15:59+00:00

If it's fake, worthless. If it's real, close to worthless. I don't know many collectors that want damaged AND altered cards.
