The Giant Deal Thread

Here is what a well centered border should look like. That card is objectively off center. But it still has a black label. Just another example of the arbitrariness of the black label and people valuing the label more than the card.

PSA 10 1st edition base Charizard auction starting at $45k with the certification number blurred out (can still scan the bar code) and only one picture. It’s “truly GEM MINT” and “10000% authentic!” so get your bids in. It may very well be legit, but the listing is poor.

There was this auction from 25k days ago. then removed despite an offer.

Could almost argue that one is off centre left to right to

The black label ended at $8900…

Seems like that card will only be worth a few hundred once it’s not so popular in standard play. How many Charizard collectors really want it? Who here spends that much on modern cards?

Exactly ! Would have rather spent money on wotc sealed product

I swear I am literally getting annoyed by all these overpriced hyper rare cards from the new sets. Just like the hyper rare zard, there are hundreds of PSA 10’s, it shouldn’t hold that much value. Who else thinks the prices will plummet over time?

The price will most likely plummet, but I think many worry/doubt that it won’t and they’ve missed the boat and may potentially never own the card.

There’s a copy listed on Mercari for $1500. If someone is interested I can link it for them.

Is it the same one? That looks like a drop shipper to me anyway.

This SSB is the same one offered in the last auction. They have the same holo pattern and the winner of that previous auction had the same number of feedback as this seller.

The mystery bag that claims to have a card that has ‘only one in the world’ is the no name, no location No. 1 Trainer from the previous auction.

That means that the previous auction that had the TMB no.1 was legit and it went for ‘only’ $11k.

so is legit for you all two auctions?

Can confirm the SSB no. 1 is legit. It might appear on IG in the coming weeks after being graded, or not.

I like to see the modern TCG being so popular amongst players and collectors even if I’m not interested in these cards.

I stopped collecting modern Charizard cards since there are just too many released and when I like an artwork I’ll most likely buy the japanese version since it’s more affordable. To each their own I guess.

It is frustrating for someone trying to complete a modern binder collection. For the current asking price of the 3 Reshiram & Charizard cards and the Hyper Blastoise from the Unbroken Bonds set I could buy 5 booster boxes instead, which is absolute craziness; imagine physically trading 5 booster boxes for those 4 cards.

The best time to complete a binder is going to be after the set rotates out.

Could be shilled. There are some base blisters listed on ebay for $140. Base set packs have been flying in prices though so you never know
