Price check on psa 9 no rarity charizard

Sad to see it go.
:sob:

I hope who won enjoys it.

Deserved to be priced a teeny bit higher I think.
But whatever. Thats the way pokemon cards go!

I think no rarities are still too young… Many collectors are less aware of the potential, and don’t even realise how tough and hard they are to find compared to English first edition.

If you compare pop counts with English first edition… You will be shocked to even think why 9s are so low.

The indicators I go by are requests from the serious customers on my vast list as far what future value might bring. These cards have now been discussed enough that all my international and domestic people are aware of them. If it may be a long term collectible my requests go up. If something could turn out to be more faddish my requests go down. This indicator has proven to be really, really accurate.
My scepticism with these then sprout from the fact that not a single request has ever come in for one of these of any type. That’s enough to scare me off lol.

Maybe it’s the main target generation currently collecting.

Early to late 20s is still the main audience for pokemon collectables currently, they still “generally” cannot budget for something obscure like this. So many uni students around you know.

People don’t want to budget for a no rarity maybe because the artwork looks so similar to the Japanese base? Or the fact Japanese cards are not as hyped in the western world.
Or people don’t want to collect this variant yet, as cannot budget due to age / work?
Or it doesn’t look as cool as a 1st edition stamped card…

Or its just a 9, who cares. It’s 10 or gtfo.

It is scary that you don’t get requests Gary.

Anyways, fun to contemplate about it… But it’s all inevitable… Will be interesting to see how much these grow down the line.

Do you get requests for foreign 1st edition charizards?

No rarity cards are definitely a niche market. The amount of people interested in 1st Ed base vs No rarity is similar to the difference between PSA pokemon cards vs BGS pokemon cards. There are not even in the same league. That doesn’t mean No rarity won’t sell or there is no demand. However, a card simply missing a rarity symbol, without an official documented reason, isn’t a homerun combo.

No set compares to 1st ed base. I’m not defending the cards. I don’t care if people like them/collect them/invest in them or not. But to compare it to the most popular set is unfair, and only syndicate does that regularly and even then it’s only to compare the charizards (I assume to help him justify his purchase price, but I’m not about to psychoanalyze him).

If you’re going to do a comparison compare it to the foreign cards market, which is why I asked Gary what I asked. I see the potential in the Big Three, just like in the foreign base set cards. I don’t see much value in the non holos, but then again I said the same about 1st edition base and look where they’re at now. I do see potential in the holo cards PSA 10.

That is true, there is definitely no set that is in the same echelon as 1st Ed base. I only made the comparison since NR was compared to the pop report for 1st Ed Base previously in the discussion.

I like the way you put that Scott and I do have to agree with what you are saying. Well this is what makes the hobby so enjoyable all the “unknowns” lol well will see what happens in the future :wink:

The thing I’m really surprised is how there’s a lack of mentioning that the cards are error cards. I haven’t looked through them all, but off the top of my head Charizard’s weight and length is incorrect and Raichu is number 25 instead of 26.

You would think error card collectors would be a bigger market to add to the potential selling list, but sellers focus too much on the 1st edition aspect, and neglect this selling point.

I know I’m a hypocrite with most of my listings, but I try not to educate people on my cards. I’d rather have my cards go to individuals that actively are engaged in the hobby, as they’re more likely to enjoy the cards. Plus I really enjoy having people message me telling me how uninformed I am about my cards and how there’s nothing different to it compared to their ‘exactly the same’ card. It’s kind of like reverse trolling to me.

honestly i dont care about the price, just the fact that there is 100 1st ed zard, and the no rarity there is 3. And its gonna stay vastly lower. Rarity is all i care about. Thats why im trying to put a pristine 10 gold label no rarity holo set together. Because there will only be 1 of that kind.

You should know me by now @cullers that it was never about the money. Always i wouldnt be okay with paying that amount to begin with… But more importantly. Im going after the 1st ed shadowless zard psa 10 this year, and if it was about money. I wouldnt be trying to get that thing. THE BEAST WILL BE MINE AND THIS TIME I WONT LOSE MY SHIT OCDING OVER ITS CONDITION AND ILL BE HAPPY WITH WHAT I GET! Also… Every penny spent on pokemon for me will be worth it, no matter what happens to the market. That includes no rarity and 1st ed base. And gold stars ect.

Also The 1st ed base set… BEing there is SOOOOOOOO MAny copies out there and only 100 of them are graded 10… That is just as impressive as the no rarity 10 being all damaged but limited and being low pop.
My collection will not be complete untill it has the best of both worlds.

English and Japanese.

But feel free to psychoanalyze dude… Its always good to know that i am so great people are talking about me when im not part of the convo…

Im so moddest… Somebowie stop meh.

I think this sums up the issues with NR. The difference is a missing dot on the card. There is also no official documentation on their release. I am not even sure if the colloquial 1st edition claim has ever been officially confirmed (correct me if I am wrong).

Nonetheless, when I say they are niche, foreign language cards are similar to an extent. There is a demand, but not as strong as the main two languages, English & Japanese. However, for NR cards, which are japanese, their demand in my opinion is finicky.

I do for sure…

Yes It is indeed finicky, So from a purely business perspective, most would not want to get involved.

But from a collectors perspective, things can get pretty crazy when it comes to people trying to complete there charlizard coolections or base set.

I had one dude come in and sweep up like 2.5k worth of no rarity uncommon/common in psa 10. He was definitely a serious collector.

I was reading this and I was like…Pokesyn didn’t use any of his language…and I was so surprised UNTIL I got down to “charlizard coolections”. xD
I love it.

If it was confirmed it would have been through Japanese text, just like we know that shadowless is the same print as 1st edition. I doubt anyone who doesn’t read English would know that. So I’m not sure on the official claim, but it could be out there.

With that said we all know that they’re the first print. Between early promo artwork, deck boxes using original artwork, error being corrected, and production changes, the only people that don’t believe it are using the same logic as people who don’t believe in evolution.

This post would offend your ancetrial creationist parents. SHAME!

It even displays in the picture that there was no change to the monkey over time. This is why pokemon is fake.

We clearly did not evolve like the no rarity charmander evolve into no rarity charmelionerb and the no rarity charmelionerb evolve into the no rarity psa 9 charizard ect.

This is getting off topic. ANd I will stop now, but you guys and whoevcer reading this thread must be educated and acknolerge this scientific discovery and infos i have bestowed upon thee

Those are chimpanzees?
