These are some of my best niche cards and I know some people on here can give me a better understanding. I have seen the Beach Scene card sell for 400$ raw a few years ago when cards were slightly cheaper. Also, I only found the comp because I had bought the card myself otherwise would never have known about it. Not sure if the sold copy was signed or raw can’t remember.
I had to resend the Imakuni back to BGS because they didnt grade it the first submission but the second submission the three pictured were indeed graded. I’m also waiting on a few other cool niche japanese items sticker sheets etc not sure if they will be graded or not.
Would it be smart/wise to even auction such type of cards? I would hate to sell them for some really low price because I know I wont ever find them again and don’t have lots of connections within the hobby.
When I first bought the set along with a bunch of lower end Imakunis!? I’m sure this isn’t the easiest question but I doubt Fanatics / Goldin / HA will give me an estimate or value if anything especially since none have really been sold recently graded or ever.
PSA does autenticate Imakunis signature but no sales on these cards. From my understanding none have been sold at auction or fixed price. Unless there have been private sales which do happen often especially with these kinds of kinds of obscure/niche cards. Maybe in the future PSA recognizes these cards but for now they don’t along with the person who sold theirs a few years back PSA denied it as they showed the M11 or similar type of denial to grade/encapsulate.
