I can direct you to others here that I have bought from for references. I have an ebay account of the same username with perfect 100% feedback over the past 18 years. Looking for the following two cards only right now. Strong 9s only - I am super picky apologize in advance
have increased all offers substantially. To my knowledge these are above recorded sales for each of these cards. Hoping to tease out some sellers. Will leave these open for a week or two then try my luck ebay stalking.
Thanks. I have examined all of those BGS 9.5 chanseys repeatedly. Seems pretty risky to buy those, crack them and potentially get a PSA 9. Am concerned by what I can’t see in the pictures. Also, Pokemon is a PSA collector market. Why would someone grade their “gem mint” Chansey in a Beckett case unless it already been rejected by PSA or they didn’t think it would get a PSA 10? Sorry to sound skeptical but that’s how I think about it.
Chansey is the lowest pop card in the PSA 10 1st edition Base Set, the population has been stuck at 46 for almost 2 years now, and one hasn’t been available (at least publicly) since August.
There just aren’t that many people with a spare PSA 10 1st edition Base Set Chansey available to sell.
Having said that, @jonandek 's offer is the best I’ve seen so far.
Kudos to anyone who can help explain WHY Chansey is such a low pop card? I know it was played back in the day due to its double edge ability being very strong for a basic pokemon. But curious if there’s a known printing flaw like a dot, holo scratch, off-center, etc?
Thank you. I’m aiming for efficiency of time. That said, that’s why I only plan on leaving most of these offers open for a week or two, max. I’m well aware that with patience I could get them for less on ebay.
Obviously a lot has changed since then, but even looking at recent sales for Skyridge holos it does seem that @jonandek is making offers well above market value for the Skyridge cards.
Obviously anecdotal but I have some of these cards stored away from my apartment and even if I wanted to sell them, wouldn’t feel comfortable travelling due to virus being quite bad in NY… wondering if that may be the case for others.
As for Chansey it is notorious for surface holo scratches.
