The Giant Deal Thread

It’s not an ideal time for the American demographic, that’s for sure!

Do you trust Billy to recase the card?

Pfft.

I got up at 2am once to make sure I won a Mew card once because the listing was in the UK.

I’m sure people who want it will bid no matter what time it’s listed.

All 27 Gold Stars PSA 9, super excited to see what it sells for. My guess is around $10,500.

That charizard 1st edition ended at $36k

Must have been a lot of people scared off by the crack

For what it’s worth there’s a really high chance it’d get a crack in delivery considering most people just send PSA cards in a padded envelope. Kinda surprised it didn’t go for at least 40k

I’ve been selling PSA graded cards for over a year now and I always use a padded envelope. I’ve never had an issue with damage in transit and I’ve shipped all over the place.

I’ve also never had an issue with damage from packages I’ve received. I’d much rather get a padded envelope than some box with a big jumbled mess of tape and bubble wrap.

Why do you believe there’s a “high chance” of damage?

inb4 instagrammers/virbanks wanting one for 30k because “the price is crashing”

Lol lowballers on insta/Virbank don’t have anywhere close to $30k to offer for anything.

If the case wasn’t cracked -where do you think this would end?

How does the card look itself? PSA 10 Warranted? The others up on ebay seem to have some controversy, is this one good?

Seems like it appeared to be clean. It was a “thin stamp” and some people only buy thick stamps so that might impact price too?

Every time we see a significant price increase for a card, I’d expect a small percentage of owners to sell out. Charizard hit $40k and since then we’ve seen 5-10 sales in the $36k-$50k (Gary mentioned a $50k sale). Once all the owners have gotten out at $40k, there will be another period of low supply and we should see a price increase again. I expect PSA 10 1st edition base Charizard to have a “longer” (compared to a significantly rare card) stabilization period because there are 120 copies in existence. Each price spike we may see severals owners take the price and get out. Charizard is unique and impressive in that we see such a large volume of sales at such a high price.

And the TMB phone cards closed at $25,100:

Have you never had an issue or never had someone complain? I’ve definitely had a few with side/corner cracks from transit but I never complain since I’d probably send them the same way to save on shipping. They’re also never quite as large as the one on the zard (don’t typically extend over the seal) but I’ve seen other posts where people essentially had shattered cases.

Raw copy sold for $550. At first glance from the photos do you think it has potential for a 10?

No chance at all IMO. Too much whitening on the back right edge.

No chance. The buyer has “PSA ?” in the title and is selling other psa cards. If it had a chance at a 10, it would be in a case

Auctions like these keep amazing me. This ungraded copy of what looks like a Japanese Firewing Pegasus sold a couple of days ago for north of $80,000 with over 200 bids. Can any of the Yu-Gi-Oh! collectors shed some light on this specific card?
