nobody was going to be dealing with him before you linked them his ebay lmao, youre literally getting him more customers

@acebren

why do you care? just enjoy the pull, you don’t need to bring all that crap into it

edit; I think anyone buying 1st edition base packs in the hope theyre not weighed are the naive ones. you should always expect them to be weighed unless otherwise stated

So you’re saying it’s people own fault for being naive and buying them? Not everyone is as knowledgeable about pokemon as we are here. Basically it’s your fault? That’s a great way of thinking.

I like to see a newbie shell $240 USD on a pack of cards lmao, anyone who is interested in paying that amount will be knowledgeable, you dont have to start pulling the victim card so soon, you wont be getting any sympathy from me

Nobody? Are you sure? That’s a pretty confident statement. I say what I say to inform. I also feel the pulls are tainted by the way in which he’s dealing. I’m sure many others don’t appreciate someone using this method to get cards. I’m sure it’s given him a modicum of exposure. Btw why are you defending him so hard?

i agree after checking his recent sales on ebay that he’s a bit of a shady character and dont like what hes doing, but you bring a lot of negativity to such a great pull

You’re an idiot. Look on yotube, reddit, instagram and even ebay. People buy things for a one time nostalgia. I’ve watched people open up base set boxes. Last year I bought a 1st ed team rocket and jungle that someone just opened and put all the holos and rares back in the packs. He purposely opened the packs for nostalgia and sold them knowing he’d lose a lot selling it. Just because you don’t think people do something doest mean it’s not being done. You make a lot if assumptions in your argument but you don’t back it up with anything. Learn to use a premise and facts.

[acebren]

are you really comparing opening team rocket and jungle to 1st edition base? and im the idiot? you sound like a casual mate, youre out of your depth

by the way, im done with this, you can keep your shit attitude, youre not going to effect me with bad vibes anymore.

I’m a casual? Please tell me what a casual is and what’s wrong with that. In guessing you’re an elitist? So I’m casual?

I trusted @pottsinator to grade a high end, high priced card for me…

Actually a few of them…

Let’s calm down a bit and avoid the direct insults. I think we can all agree on these things:

1. Pulling epic cards is cool.
2. Selling weighed packs secretly is shady.

That’s all there is to it. You both got your point across.

@swolepoke
It’s definitely fair to trust people. I would have no problem sending @smpratte an expensive card to grade for me, for example.

That said, I also understand where people are coming from when they are wary of sending such an expensive card, if only because it means extra shipping steps and we know we can’t trust the postal service. Haha.

@smpratte

Ehh I had the opportunity in the past but passed. The copies I own have a sentimental background.

I love this comment. Sometimes the best cards in your collection aren’t the ones that have the highest grades, but those that have the highest sentimental value. (Not that the two are mutually exclusive, mind you.)

@milhouse

Why someone with a card worth this much wouldn’t send it to PSA themselves is beyond me.

What I was thinking as well.It costs nothing to join PSA as you get the 15 free grades.If anything you are doubling your chance of the card getting lost as he has to send it to Ludkins and he has to send it back to Germany!

I thought you needed to pay for a membership?

[null_user]

You do need to pay but they give you the free 15 grades so it makes up for having to pay for it.Last time I checked I am sure it was $219 for a membership outside of the US.So that means I get 15 cards graded for around 15 bucks each which sounds fair enough to me.The German dude would have sent it to Ludkins so he could get the card some publicity, which is fair enough,but with such a rare card I would want to send it to PSA and get it back straight away.If I had that card and lived in the US I would take it to PSA myself and camp out in there garden until I got it back lol:-)

If you want to grade as a non-member the cheapest service you can use is the “regular” service, at $17 per card.

i have used that service before it gets very expensive very fast I need to renew my Psa account. I have quite a few cards I need to get graded and more coming very soon.

[fourthstartcg]

Also keep in mind that PSA places value limits on service levels. That SSB would probably fall in either the “Super Express” level ($2000-$4999 valued cards) or the “Walk-Through” level ($5000-$9999) depending on how you value a Gem Mint condition SSB. Prices per card for those service levels are $75 and $150 respectively. I’m not too knowledgeable on price for these rare Japanese promo cards though, so don’t hold it against me if I’m totally off on the price of it.
