I don’t have any more unfortunately Wish I kept the ones I did have but had to let them go. I wish I could have jumped on a no rarity zard psa 9 when there was an opportunity but alas I missed out lol
This makes sense though since a lot of those higher bids had a 1 review
Vol. 19 takes the crown for sure! Vol. 18’s legendary bird trio is a close second for me but I also love Vol 14’s eeveelutions (the art reminds me of hanafuda cards).
Has anyone heard about any recent sales of a complete Masaki set? I’ve got one in PSA 6–7 condition and I’m currently talking to someone interested in buying it. Since I’ve never sold complete sets before, I’m not sure how much of a premium to add for having the full set. The only sales I can find on 130point are from years ago. How would you value a complete set?
For reference, mine includes Golem and Omastar in PSA 7, plus Gengar, Alakazam, and Machamp in PSA 6
I am not sure a premium is in order. If someone could buy all 5 cards individually on ebay right now from 5 different sellers, there wouldn’t be much incentive to buy the same 5 cards in one order for an increased price.
Probably try to sell at the cards value combined. You save on shipping and only doing one order,
I echo what @eeveeteam said. For me personally a complete set means that I can negotiate for a lower pricing and not the opposite since it means that the seller can also move their stock and I get a better deal for a set and save in shipping and taxes.
But for something like Masaki, I would just combine the prices of individual cards without any premium for having the whole set. The cards are available in good enough quantity and a premium might just deter on closing the deal.
Are they still? I thought they had tightened up now after the prototype scandal? I know Beckett will grade anything and put basically any label or title you want on the label. I know this from personal experience (if they’d actually researched the card they definitely would not have used my label choice).
Despite the prototype scandal, CGC still grades disco prototypes, Fossil cosmos white back and normal back tests, Japanese Base Set foil tests, etc. I would say that they are more cautious now, but they’re still leading the charge with grading “unique” items.
PSA occasionally grades the normal back Fossil cosmos prints, but they haven’t touched the other examples to my knowledge.
Beckett seems to require very little “proof” when adding something to their registry. I doubt they examine the cards as scientifically as CGC supposedly does.
I think the set of English samples have more documentation for PSA to recognize it. The Japanese sample cards - the only documentation is a picture of a Mercari listing from mid 2010s
