Pretty curious what the break down is, and I’m going to assume like 900,000 of those were Pokemon. Thought they might use this opportunity to give us the pop report, but guess not.
On a side note, I know there’s a scyther collector on the board who is def going to want this lol
Regret grading with CGC (the grades and company are just fine) For a couple buck more last year i could have much more value with PSA slabs. BIG mistake on my part thinking CGC turnaround was more important for a couple of bucks saving.
Until CGC makes a pop report and registry, the value will under average .
* Highly doubt that scyther was actually the 1,000,000th card graded. Vending is a tough card to get 10’s, most likely the 1,000,000 card graded was a base unlimited 8 nr/mint pokemon card. Good marketing by CGC .
They timed their operation so well, demand was super high and competition was down, people forget they are a brand new company. Their timing alone is what allows them to maintain a big market share imo. No other way they could grade so harsh, sell low and have a nasty label like they do. I don’t hate CGC and I own many of teir slabs but the objective truth is that they absolutely nailed the timing to make their grading strategy work. They dont have a pop report because it is their #1 goal to pump as many cards as they can before the other big boys come back. They need to be able to say they have a million cards graded
Ehm *tips fedora* the REAL 1 millionth card is this and that and it’s market value is through the roof because of the factors A B and C and that’s the why Evergreen got stuck at Panama Canal or was it Suez, man who knows, there are so many canals these days. Also calculating in the reason why Elon Musk sent Tesla into space I can say for a fact that Baseball Card Exchange authenticated that 1 millionth Scyther and this is amazing PR stunt.
A milestone for the company, no doubt. In practice, I wonder how many of those 1 million slabs have been “cracked” (i.e gently opened) since encapsulation.
