About a 9 average, no 10s though

That’s a bummer, I had a similar situation recently. I’m honestly very surprised at how little 10’s I got with my most recent submission. Honestly my first big one, and my only one with CGC so far, but it had a lit of really nice red’s pikas, and some brand new Kanazawa. Almost everything 9.5. 1 10 Kanazawa and 1 10 red’s pika. Out of 75 total cards, only those 2 tens. Not complaining about the grading results, just commenting is all. I’m perfectly happy with the 9.5’s. It’s just nice to see that the 10 really is quite tough to get with CGC.

If you don’t mind me asking how much did it cost for grading 75 cards with CGC. I got my PSA submission back and BOY ARE THEY HIGHWAY ROBBERY LOL

Well, I sent 250 cards and it was a little over 5k. I got it in just before they increased their prices. But I do subgrades for everything more or less. Every grading company is kinda high now. I don’t think it’s so bad though. Hopefully de-incentivizes sending in low level cards.

It looks like cardrush now has a global shipping option with worldshopping proxy service. Has anyone heard of or used this service before?

Never used it, personally just ship to a Tenso address and go that way.

Anyone knows additional information about **Cynthia 155/S-P Promo Extra Battle day Card?**I know they gave these if you participated in the Battle day tournaments, but for how long they held these tournaments? They had a lot of participants?
Trying to gauge how much should i pay for this one.

Hi all and hope everyone is well!
I’m trying to gauge the price of a PSA10 Rayquaza 075/l-p lottery promo.
Recent solds during the hype last year (Aug-Dec 2020) put the price at around $800. However, I saw a recent PWCC auction go for $1800 on 29 May 2021.
Trying to understand if this was paid (I think it was looking at PWCC auction archive?) and if this is true market value.
Seems a large jump but I appreciate the rarity.
Regards,
Legendary Mewchu

That card has been undervalued for a long time. Now that the western market is more aware of it, it’s finally getting the numbers it deserves (IMO).
Full disclosure: I don’t currently own any copies of it

Yep appreciate that.
Just seems a very big jump from last sold but hey ho.
Do you know from the archives if 1800 was paid? I’m new to using PWCC website

If it’s in the archives, then yes it was paid. You think that’s a big jump, yet the last sale you’re referencing was from late last year, so that’s plenty of time for the market to look completely different for any given card.

I would look at comps of the other lottery cards in the same set and also the more rare ones - legendary dogs and lugia/ho-oh with 1000 copies to see if it makes sense to you.

Considering that the English versions of these cards went up considerably, it makes sense that the much rarer Japanese equivalents go up as well. In my opinion they should exceed the English versions due to the very limited release.
Full disclosure: I totally own some of them

Has a third Grand Prix illustration contest been announced in Japan? I’d love for a promo to follow up Charizard and Gardevoir.

Not sure if it’s been already posted here, but Steve Aoki won that pika trophy. He posted a vid of him unboxing the package on aoki’s cardhouse IG.

I pray to god that he doesn’t send it in to get it re labeled with the “Aoki Collection”

Not yet, no. I imagine they will be holding off until the end of the year if they’re going to run another one.
Assuming it’ll follow the same format as the last two it’d get announced on www.creatures.co.jp/news and would very likely be hosted at www.creatures.co.jp/igp3 (which currently gives a 404 page).

I would not necessarily expect the Japanese promos to exceed the value of the English versions. (At least for the “more common 6” with 5k copies, vs. 1k copies).
English graded copies will have far fewer in PSA 10. As well as having the shiny border, which looks great on these cards.
On the other hand, I could see the Japanese versions for the Birds and Dogs earn more in Japan than the English 10s earn in the Western market, but that they would struggle to achieve those prices outside of Japan.

He wrote on IG „should we Aoki pedigree it??“ lol

It sounds like Aoki got this for a bit of a steal. There were a couple of people who tried to bid near the end only to be met with eBay errors which I believe was similar to the recent PWCC Michael Jordan sale:
I don’t know if any of those bidders reached out to Scott though. At any rate a 37% loss in 7 months on a card like this is painful to see. Congratulations to Aoki for winning it.
