@swolepoke , you should be hired as the e4 bouncer. You can check our bank accounts and make sure we are worthy of making a comment.

I think they are just making excuses. They are willing to ship it worldwide but unwilling to ship it to Psa.

@mjs61290 @teamrocketop yes, that comment about his backside and being embarrassed to show it was hysterical haha. I was thinking what the hell? Who says this for one, for two who says this about a pokemon card, and for three who actually puts that in an items description as a cop out from showing an aspect of the item. If he really wants folks to take him seriously that should absolutely not be in the listing on a 36k card. If he were to of shown the back of the card, throwing in that little joke would be fine as a small bit of humor in my opinion though.

Plot twist: maybe this dude is a total troll and doing this to irk everybody haha

This is what is on PSA’s site on its financial guarantee.

‘the Guarantee does not apply to, and cannot be utilized by, the original submitter (or the original submitter’s agents, employees, affiliates or representatives) of the graded card’.

I’ve heard some people here got compensation on some of their wrongly graded cards. But if you’re the original submitter of the card, can you still get a monetary compensation based on that clause on the Financial Guarantee?

you would think that the seller, having failed to sell it for god knows how long now, would change strategy and consider being honest

but she hasn’t so i guess the damage at the back truly is horrible

Hey hey hey! That is true about his listing but my $1 bank account validates my opinion… I offered him a $1 through ebay messages and he said that it was tempting, but towards the end of my message I just let him know I wasn’t sure about my $1 because it’s backside didn’t look too hot.

I am surprised no one has bought it and then gotten the buyer back guarantee from eBay yet.

Not that I would ever suggest to do this, I am just surprised it has not happened yet with how the current eBay market has been running.

What a joke. She has no respect for collectors and deserves to never get this sold.

Ask her for a picture of her feet. She’s probably not going to send one because of all the damage she’s been doing by shooting them over and over. :grin:

Still, you got to admire such steadfastness/stubbornness.

The only thing going on with this listing, that makes a lick of sense, is that the seller graded the card herself and knows PSA messed up badly, which is why she can’t return the card to PSA herself and get the value for it.

If this card actually was a “borderline 10,” as the seller claims, she would simply show the back of the card. The reason she’s not showing the back of the card is because there is nothing borderline about it.

Obviously, the seller is never going to get any bites on this card for the listed price without showing the backside (which she acknowledges in the listing).

At the very least, the seller needs to drastically reduce the price. Currently, PSA’s price guide for a PSA 10 1st edition Charizard has the card listed at $24,600, which is woefully outdated because the last several sales have been for $40k. But as long as that’s PSA’s listed price point for the card, they will never admit it’s worth more than that.

So what could happen is that the seller could reduce the asking price for the card to well below the $24,600 mark, and maybe a bold customer (someone with a lot of experience with PSA) could then buy the card and invoke the PSA financial guarantee of grade.

At the end of the day, it’s a bad situation, and the seller should really just be doing the honest thing by not hiding the card she’s trying to sell. These unfortunate circumstances are creating a bad look for our fire breathing boy, sitting on eBay for below market value.

I hope they just get spammed with people asking for pictures of the back. I hate scummy people like this.

I was one of the people who asked her for a photo and was refused. I believe she said it would hurt her sale price. She is using the mystery element to her advantage, which many people have already said makes no sense. I agree. However, after reading the situation with the PSA guarantee, I feel like she could make a deal to split the difference of the mis-grade with a potential buyer, so she can settle for a middle ground between that 25k valuation by PSA and an actual PSA 8 card, if that’s what the actual card earns. That’s what I’d do if I were her. One of you guys should reach out and see if you can earn 12k with this trick. Maybe she’ll listen and take the money.

It’s literally money for a bit of legal effort.

This card was auctioned with a reserve price, but it didn’t hit the reserve and therefore didn’t sell. I believe the auction ended under $20k (this was after the first two $40k sales). Does anybody have a screenshot?

@hyruleguardian, I agree. It is a bad look for the card. However, higher sales have occurred even with this listing available. Nobody is touching it.

I’m gonna message her and ask her if she’ll send me a picture of the back for 100 bucks.
