I recently obtained a tall stack of unpeeled Pokemon vending series sheets and one of them is the Series 3 sheet #2.
I’ve never seen one of these in person that still intact. I know plenty of collectors must have this. But it’s something special to me.
I’m conflicted, should I peel it and grade the card to tuck away in a box and pull out to grin at from time to time. Or do I keep it as is?
Or would it be possible to have it graded or preserved in some manner similar to a slabbed card.
If you would like to preseve the history and it is special to you then the best option is to also get a peeled copy, graded or otherwise. This way you can get the best of both worlds i.e. preserve the unpeeled sheet and also get a copy of the card to pull out and grin from time to time.
Welcome to the forums! These vending sheets are super special! I hope we can get to know you and also get an insight on your collection and interests. Have a great time here.
Cheers!
What a fabulous first post. Keep them unpeeled! Looking forward to seeing more of your collection.
Tough one, personally I’d buy a loose Ooyama’s Pikachu along with the other cards from that sheet and frame them side by side. The vending series isn’t “rare” per-se, but unpeeled sheets are getting rarer as time goes by and more people peel them, I used to buy these from Amazon often for $9.99 before I just decided to buy the whole series unpeeled with the intention of peeling it since the price difference from buying singles or the sheets wasn’t that different… thankfully I forgot, lol, they’re still untouched.
I can’t find this Oomayas vending shit unpeeled for less than $1800.00
I’m not say it’s with that much at all. What they are asking and what it’s worth are two different things.
I let my son peel one of the other sheets and he pulled a charmander and he’s happy.
I personally wouldn’t peel unless I had doubles of one of the sheets.
It is possible to get the whole sheet graded?
Also, I have four of these sheets.
Sorry, I’m not sure about that
Maybe CGC could do it for you, they’ve done special sheets in the past
I’ve asked CGC before and they said no. I do feel like these are items that can and should be graded, though. PSA told me to send in a sheet and they would take a look, but I never got around to doing it.
Which it’s crazy because CGC grades comics. They could easily grade these sheets
That’s exactly what I told them.
