So it was YOU! I Didn’t want to go too crazy. Actually offered one of the other guys with the OBO and paid around the same. Wasn’t going to get the english ones as I already have the Japanese Holo set, but I had to I guess.
@pokemontrader We have always shown flexibility for brief conversation in TGAT. Six messages between two people falls comfortably within that tolerance. If the conversation had attracted further interest or been drawn out longer, it would have been moved so as to foster greater community discussion. We do this regularly.
PSA 9 red cheeks e3 pikachu up for auction on ebay. Ends in like 2 hours. My apologies if this isn’t high end enough for the thread but they don’t seem to pop up very often. Ebirdman had a gem mint listed for like 600 something dollars but I can’t find his anymore.
Damn!!! I thought that was a typo on your part, but it is indeed past 350 (383 as of this post). Crazy how much more popular grading is now compared to just three years ago. By comparison, the Japanese PSA 10 pop for M Zard 89 from Wild Blaze is barely over 100… and Japanese quality is alot better than English.
Edit: Also, I think I liked it better when we had the crappy English card quality… yeah, it was harder to find Gem Mint copies of cards, but it feels alot more satisfying scoring 10s on difficult to grade cards vs practically guaranteed 10s when the quality is good.
i like the fact is easy to get 10s on the cards now as thats the whole point really you want the card to be psa 9 or 10 out of the pack not psa 7 or 8 but its the mass grading thats the problem in terms of profit
I feel bad, the guy who bought the first trio paid $1,000 USD. I loved evolutions and I think many other people did too. If all future sets had the quality of evolutions in english, I would stop collecting Japanese.
Yeah, obviously you don’t want them to be PSA 7 or 8 quality out of the pack, but the thrill of the hunt for PSA 10 quality cards makes it more fun for me. Maybe I’m just weird like that
Holy shite. That is cheaper than distributor pricing for small guys like me folks. Stock up now if you ever planned on it. I have no idea how/why they are offering this pricing. I also have no idea how they could possibly just break even at this pricing.
I second this. Anytime I’ve bought 1-2 boxes from them, they’ve sent them in Priority Mail bubble mailers. Never bought 3 or more boxes in one go from them, but I assume they would have to put them in boxes at that point.
Regarding the price, maybe it was a typo on their end? Unless they’re just running a quick sale to generate traffic to their store.
Ok yeah, I missed the part where they mention it’s an eBay only flash sale lol
Immature me: I see a ‘69’ in there *wink wink wink*
OCD me: Why aren’t they all 8s
The real me: I wish I could afford that card attached to that number
