But but but some say the 9’s drag the 10s! Last I heard was 21k bids WTB unconfirmed. 20 seems about right. PWCC is previewing one for end of October close. That will be a big one along with the 2 BGS 9.5 1sts and a PSA 9 1st..
This isn’t hard to figure out the road ahead I always feel like I’m crazy. This is THE Charizard of the entire hobby that literally millions of people grew up dreaming of pulling out a pack. As kids most of us didn’t have a 1st edition or know what it was. It was the unlimited we all had. The pop for PSA 10 is only 432. Thats a CRAZY LOW number for how much were actually made. On top of that. Gary literally owns over 52 unlimited 10s that he’d never sell ( I tried ). So that’s 380 PSA 10s in the wild. There’s also a Charizard collector in the Charizard Facebook group that has 12 he’d never sell. So that’s 368 PSA 10 copies. 368 people with a PSA 10 unl Charizard out of millions of people that would love to own one. New collectors and old. Lastly , if the 10 1st ed is roughly $230k it makes ZERO sense for the unlimited 10 to only be $18k-20k. There’s literally no other card in the hobby with that big of a disparity between a 1st ed and an unlimited. I’m betting on it to be $50k next year. . People let price memory keep them stuck in the past prices and continuously make current regrets. Just my opinion.
Absolutely right. The unlimited base Charizard is the card people want. Just look at prices on ebay - 9’s are hitting $5000 now. 8s $2500??
I haven’t seen many 10s tbh, certainly not in the UK.
Also That’s still within most peoples budgets compared to tens of thousands for equivalent grade 1st edition and shadowless.
I would extrapolate the approximate psa 10 value off of the current booster box sales prices. Typically I have seen it range between roughly 125% to 200% of the current selling box price (for unlimited)
It’s got some catching up to do with boxes over $30k.
There are 605 psa 10s across the 1st ed, shadlowless and base. Many have multiple. Many more NFS. Tight markets and it would seem base 9 and 10s may close their ratios.
Agree. 25k will happen. It seems cheapn and the ratio can close to the psa 10 1st ed. The 8k for a psa 9… possible but plenty of inventory right now in the 5k’s to work through after the fast 8 day move from 1800.
It will be a record. Psa 9s are backing off which was expected but inventory still getting gobbled up. Also agree the 10s could go 50-100 pretty quickly if and when a psa 10 1st sells for 300/400s. So little true high end available to buy.
