Sealed southern island sets

I agree with you @randox the only thing about grading the cards is that they’re very difficult to grade and you’ll do good to break even on 9s (except for mew). So while I personally think $3-400 is low I can see why the market settles at that point. If I had extras I would keep them until they broke the $500 mark at least.

Last year I was lucky enough to find a binder on the annual flea market. This binder was of course not sealed but the cards were in near mint condition and I sold it for €125. The $150 sell for a sealed is therefore definitely a steal!

@engadgeter nice! I’ve definitely noticed the prices of the opened binders going up in price. Back when mercari gave out coupons regularly they did a 30% off any item for christmas. I snagged the binder and complete NM/M set for $45 shipped lol

That’s a very nice price and a great item to have in your collection. I sold mine as I only collect Japanese cards and this gave me some additional funds to purchase some cards as was looking for.

Thoughts on the 2000 World Collection? ~

Pikachu one? I also own that and think it’s only going to go up from here :blush:

Southern Islands is an amazing set for me. It really has a lot going for it. Thoughtful product, amazing artwork and creative concept.

Prices for sealed southern islands seems to be climbing… Anyone know how plentiful in supply these would be? I mean sealed ones. Seems like it won’t be long to reach the $1k mark.

I bought a complete sealed japanese set for about $65 CAN a year or two ago. Pretty happy with that purchase, glad to see it increase in price. I am surprised that mew hasn’t sky rocketed honestly, I think it is literally one of the best artworks in the hobby. And it technically has charizard in the artwork so…

Agree. That mew is way undervalued. Charizard in the background !

Anyone who thinks the mew is undervalued should go and try buy a psa 10 copy then see what they think.

Isn’t it still only 500-600 usd? I think this card should be 1-2k fundamentally given how low pop it is and how nice artwork it has.

Edit: can’t find any listings on eBay so maybe prices have gone up?

Well I mean you can still get a ungraded NM copy for like $15. Seems pretty reasonable to me.

“NM” aka scratches all over and a good bit of whitening on the back, aka PSA 7-8.

PSA 10 English Mew should sell for no less than $2k. The pop report shows just how difficult of a card it is to grade in a 10

Ive seen them for 150 to 200 for a full binder sealed with all the post cards inside.

Please message me all available in that price range. I’ll pay you a finders fee!
