Yes. Of both the australian one and the other one that sold for like 10. I advised both of them to just relabel first because they kept getting their auctions won by shill bidders who didn’t pay.
What about the CGC 10 one?
I believe that one is the one that got won by a 1 feedback shill bidder and didn’t get paid for either.
But there is one listed for 30k Buy it now!
Funny how it was sold for 3.8k just back in December lol
I feel sad as i just listed a high end card on PWCC with a 9.5. Pretty sure im going to get shanked in value. I think at the time i submitted, i was annoyed with PSA turn around times. In hindsight, i should of kept the card as I loved it.
Haha instead of focusing on how much CGC Gem Mint 9.5s have increased in value, shouldn’t we ask ourselves why these Gem Mint 9.5s were previously so undervalued? They are effectively PSA 10s

Our comrades who don’t have any 9.5s are trying to cast aspersions on CGC 10 valuations to internally validate their choices and assuage their personal regrets. It’s a masterclass in psychology. (They’ll probably instinctively get defensive about this post, too.)
And, as someone who had/has 9.5s, I’m happily promoting my own perception of things.
We’re all just living in our own heads and hoping other people join us.

2023-2024 Cgc prices settle a little bit below psa prices.
2024-2025 Cgc offices around the world have evened prices up with psa.
2025-2026 Those holding psa 10s begin to crack in hopes of cgc 10s as prices fall below cgc 10s the widespread panic causes prices to fall even further as they realize crossing psa 10 to cgc 10 gem is a lot harder than the other way around.
2026-2027 The small remains of bgs buys out the even smaller remains of psa.
Feel free to laugh.

I like seeing a 10 more than a 9.5. The .5 always just makes me instantly want to know what’s wrong with the card whereas a 10 I just kind of accept it’s a beautiful card.
I’m assuming others think similarly.

Yeah I think even I prefer seeing a 10. Condition of 9.5 vs psa 10 never phased me though. I saw 9.5 as the goal and 10 pristine as a lucky extra and 10 perfect as a dream.

Well that’s also true. Especially after I had a 1st edition blastoise 10 with whitening on a corner that bothered me so much it became the unloved step child.
But the 10 on the label still displayed lovely lol

Why do we even bother with the assumption “if people were rational” for anything anymore?
People are not rational. If you use that as an assumption, throw out your model. It’s shit.

The only thing I’m laughing at is that your forum avatar is still a PSA slab and not a CGC slab at this point.
