I have no clue about most of the market because I don’t buy slabs, and even if I did, the ones that get the most spotlight are too expensive for me. But this is one I do have, so I randomly checked the price on it recently, and even this random vintage Japanese card has easily 4-5x in 2 months (from Ebay’s Terapeak, which only shows sold listings):
Like @Will said, this is just how the market is at the moment.
if people get price out by psa 10 then they go for psa 9 instead. That what I saw with skyridge alakazam.
Skyridge Raichu is the ugliest card in existence but it’s far from the only card experiencing parabolic growth since Feb 2026.
there is a Yuka Morii pump happening atm as well as a skyridge pump. Its all very recent so theres a lot to stay on top of
the prices of 9s are basically irrelevant these days coz only ppl buying 10s at these prices are investor bros and gambling companies and they dont want 9s
Because it’s a company with thousands of auction every week and they have a strong rep. Why would they risk it on something so obvious as shilling 6 weeks straight?
It just conspiratorial
He’s not insulting you but it’s obvious Z&G isn’t manipulating anything
Why do you need the card in such a hurry anyway though? Planning on a quick flip on an undervalued card?
What a coincidence, they stopped doing it now, and finally actually sold it for 5k. 
You guys are naive.
Surely it couldn’t be anything to do with the changes ebay made to stop non-paying buyers?
Sure
People understand that Z&G is just consignment right? the actual owner/seller is not Z&G. It can be true that a card is shilled an Z&G is not the one doing it. This is true for all consignment businesses.
i only reverse shill da z&g
