Hey everyone, this is my first post to this forum. I have picked up this P/C card in Japan. This is a “Green 1996 Venusaur 4 of diamonds” graded 10. It also has a matching green Venusaur on the back, which I assume would also give it some additional value. I have searched the market and couldn’t find this exact version of this card, so I am lost on its value. This is a competely different question, but if you would have the same card on hand, how long would you hold onto it before selling? Thanks!!
If this does not fit my collection and I had this in a PSA 10, now is the best time to sell. PSA 10 valuations are pretty much at peak and I would not waste time thinking. If this was something that I was interested in collecting, I would still sell and downgrade and use the additional funds to get something else. Any card in a PSA 10 now seems to be like a mini lottery in that card division.
Cheers!

Thanks for the tips, I’ll definitely note them down. Though I’m not arguing, just for clarification, I was wondering why this card is considered a bad investment piece. Don’t old Pokémon cards generally become scarcer over time? Is it because this isn’t a normal TCG card, or because the current Pokémon spike might just be temporary?
is it because its not a TCG?
It’s a poker card my dude.

It’s up to you to decide if you think it’s a good investment or not. To me this is a card with a Pokémon on it as opposed to a Pokémon card, so it’s not something I’d ever be interesting in owning.

This type of card is quite niche and has a small buyer pool. If this isn’t a core piece of your collection I’d sell it while everything is hyped and use the funds to purchase something you want more.
