Wow, this is… hideous.
I’ve always assumed the Pikachu and 20th anniversary plaque were inseparable. Seeing it here without the plaque greatly diminishes the item for me.
No, these items are just regular submissions. That Squirtle trophy belongs to someone on E4.

no worries about buying in Yahoo Japan and losing 100% of your money!

Time to register a Goldin account! Interested in quite a few items.
I finally got around to asking Goldin to increase my bid limit
Ignore @Troy and contact me instead. It’s the final English Pikachu card (well, except for the Futsal Pikachu on the Ball…) that I’m missing. 
(Tbh, I’m not in the position to offer a lot, so Miracle Gro will probably outbid me if one pops up for sale anyway. 
)
For a moment I thought this was that set, but then I noticed not all of them are PSA-9s. And considering these are all sequential, it’s probably a full set of extra copies I’d imagine, as opposed to someone who collected them over time and graded all at once.
Greetz,
Quuador
Gold pika sold recently on Yahoo will be interesting to compare to graded, I think it sold for 4.9mil yen
Sure, but instead of rewarding the seller fair market value the auction house instead gets that 20%. That seems absurd to me. Auction houses provide awareness to your item being sold. It put things at a point in time and a central location for shopping. They give some additional research and insights.
I argue this idea is antiquated with a centralized marketplace and modern technology. And yet we still go back to this old format of “auction houses.” PWCC getting yeeted off of eBay and auctions like this happening on Goldin suck more IMHO for the hobby because auctions are now even more disparate. It makes getting into it even tougher (where do I even go to buy?). And of course with any middleman Auction House you can introduce bias (goldin owned by CU now, some of the WATA stuff that is rumored, etc.)
Liquidity and decentralization is what moves markets.
There are some killer items in the auction. I would love to bid on them. Goldin limits me as a new user to $10,000. They want me to do the math to calculate how much my total will be. They want me to ask them to give me a higher limit. You can sit here and tell me “Stop crying just suck it up” and I’d tell you, okay boomer : ) I am sick of these stupid old mechanisms that still exist in the market of buying and selling pokemon! But I suppose it’s just the game we play… for now
@serpintaxt people selling really high end stuff frequently can negotiate away the 5% sellers fee and negotiate to receive 105, 110% and likely even more of the “hammer price” for say 7 figure items.
The argument as with eBay is that they achieve enough premium to cover their fee (and then some) and I believe when you sell the right item with the right place this is certainly often true. Such as with eBay on 95% of the Pokemon market.
Another benefit is the higher barrier to entry lends it to having significantly less non paying bidders. Benefits the buyer knowing shillers will be more likely punished so less likely to be there and benefits sellers more likely to actually get a sale and payout.
Care to say who owned that squirtle? I wanna find a charmander one day…
and how the fuck does it get a 5 out of 10 while looking like that. Def aren’t any creases and centering looks fine so that leaves surface and corners.
Wondering if the Pika looks worse on the scan than in reality. I have a DBS promo that is reflective gold which looks incredible in hand, but on a scan, the gold produces that exact same dark, grainy effect.
eBay seller is thiccdeals, so how could you go wrong?
@sherbixtus I can’t say for sure that he owns it or that this is the same one but Radar made a video with one on his IG.
Miracle is right, this is a great block which will set a lot of precedents in current market prices after a bit of a break from these rare sales.
I love seeing those Mega Battle trophies. I’m interested to see what it will go for!
Wish they didnt bulk some lots together…

Like I want the Latias… but I don’t want to pay extra for the Ray and Latios just to have to sell them later… urgh
Yeah the scan looks bad on such a beautiful card, it needs lighting which gives that beautiful glow!
That certainly is a weird lot lol
