Welp <.< on the Mimikyu.

I promise my fiancée I wouldn’t buy anything this year (Pokemon cards), super focus on the wedding & buying my dream watch next year. I still have plans to pick up a PSA 10 copy mid next year. I even budget for a slight price increase. But we’re also planning on going to Japan for our honey moon in 2022; going take a stab at finding a minty raw over there.

Nothing represents love and spending the rest of your lives together like hunting for foreign cardboard treasures together.

I don’t really think it flew under the radar as much as the multiple reprints the art had hurt the desirability. Actually surprised by the price. A trophy from the same era that did fly under the radar would be the lucky stadium imo.

Hey Hobbiests,

For years I’ve followed the big 3 JP promos. Mario/Luigi, Ponchos and Munch.

Now my attention turns to the Kanazawa promo in PSA 10 you get from the sealed box.

It’ll be interesting to follow this PSA 10 with you all over the next 2 - 3 years.

Looks like the big 3 are finally, only beginning, to get the prices they were obviously always going to command/deserve.

I am less sure on whether the Kanazawa PSA 10 will command a significant price, but it’s def one worth watching closely.

On a side note that Milotic that comes in the box is gorgeous.

Any other cards that have recently caught your attention?

my only hesitation with kanazawa is that it was printed in both holo (more common) and reverse holo (from the box) form. I think it will be good, but be comparable to some of the other pikachu promos that tend to go for $400-$500 down the road. swallowed pikachu would be another in that category.

The ones I would be look at on the recent side that I expect to do really well are Alola friends / Pikachu from the limited collection master battle set.

Upcoming promo! sowsow

[salmoncannon]

That promo is beautiful. I love how this is going to have a unique, limited release which will give the art the treatment it deserves.

We will receive this in English 3-5 months later as an off-centre common shoehorned into the next set.

Agreed. Aesthetic wise, I don’t why I really enjoy the whole: xx pokemon is just chilling vibe.

People had to have missed the crease right? 18k is a lot of dollaroonies

I would assume they missed it in a haste to bid and going off the sellers condition rating of “unused”, but it’s clear as day in the pictures and also in personal pictures received. Both pictures show the same damage on the same corner.

Could be for a binder collection I guess. But I’d agree it was pretty clear after I saw that line on the bottom left.

Wonder if it was a Intl. buyer. And Radars graded Espeon on PWCC should do pretty well if this is the price for a mint copy

[qwachansey]

Card is a massive pain to find at all and that’s a beautiful binder copy. Price is definitely higher than I expected but not a mind blowing surprise.

Yeah the pics were terrible and they didn’t describe the indent at all. Being that the last one was in PSA 1 condition went for $7k this doesn’t surprise me. Probably a PSA 7 if graded or a BGS 8 + with how lax they are over indents at BGS

in my experience this will get a 6 max.

there’s no way someone spends $17k on that card and puts it into a binder though… at least I hope not!! protect your assets!!

Topsun zard stonking so hard. Giving me FOMO… time to buy some topsun. Artwork is just so good, I think the second anyone discovers it they instantly want one

(oh yeah and that huge no number rarity auction prob driving the price up a bit too )

Mimikyu munch going for over £2k in PSA 10 with bids still going on…nuts

Hey Hobbyists,

The Munch cards are a solid release…
Their prices still have not stablised at all. They’re the cards with the biggest volatility recently.

I saw a cheap Psyduck PSA 10 get listed in the last 24 hours and questioned if the seller knew what the market was doing. Bang, 12 hours later it got sold.

Interesting to see if the market finds a stable price point for each card but it looks like it’ll be atleast 12 more months before that happens.

Speaking of Munch, Pikachu…

I have watched literally every single PSA 10 munch Pikachu auction/listing for the last year or so. Recently, they are consistently selling for $2k. One just sold for $2,450 BIN. There is a PWCC auction right now for one @ $1,975 with 8 days left. The last couple days, there was about 6 BIN for around $2,200 - $2,300. Now there is one left for $3k, and other remaining sitting at redic $5k+.

Most of these auctions are super active too, with a bunch of watchers.

[greenpotatoes]

I don’t think people give credit to PWCC as much as they should for the record prices it can bring in. Obviously not every card, but for people who use PWCC and get account credit they may be willing to pay more because it isn’t coming out of their bank account or the simple fact that PWCC is so trustworthy and simple to use. It’s impressive the new realized prices that PWCC brings on popular cards.

[lolzicost]

There’s the chance the Espeon hasn’t been paid for. Not all these auctions get paid. The price definitely seems wild for a dented copy. If this sale is legit Espeon might be worth more than actual new back trophies with unique art. Crazy to think what the Umbreon could go for.
