WTF. idk why this looks soo cool. lol
I’d love to put together a group chat with fellow Japanese gold star lovers on Instagram. I think it would be fun. My insta is the same as my e4 name

why buy a lowly bgs 9.5 when you could have a raw card with “PSA 10” in the title for just 20% more
The groudon looks like a really good pick up especially if the sub grades are good.
PSA 10 UED Rayquaza ended at $7.9k on eBay auctions today.

Pretty much all “weak” 10s on this PWCC block, which I’m finding to be the standard for gold stars in general as I keep tracking this market (explains the heavy skew toward 10s in the pop report). Will keep an eye on payment status and check back in when that closes in a month.

PSA 10 Unlimited Gold Star Rayquaza sold for 6211 USD on ebay. Selling prices going down?

PSA 10 Unlimited Gold Star Rayquaza sold for 6211 USD on ebay. Selling prices going down?
Clash of the Blue Sky is one of the sets where 1st edition is definitely less available than unlimited. The only other sale I could find is from the glory days of PWCC in July 2021 when it sold for 7.2k.
I don’t think 6.2k is bad at all.
I think the Rayquaza was not payed, according to one post on Instagram from the seller. I don’t know If it is against the rules positing his name here, but it is a known member of the community.
Some Japanese shinings that sold in the last couple of months:
PSA 10 Shining Mewtwo $6000 (eBay)
PSA 10 Shining Celebi $4320 (PWCC)
PSA 10 Shining Kabutops $6300 (PWCC)
