I won this card on PWCC’s first weekly block, and I feel like I got it for a good price. I was half-asleep doing my last few bids and I just realised that the slab is mislabelled and that the listing title follows the slab’s name and not the card’s. Does this happen quite often with PWCC? If so, do they always follow the slab name instead of the card name?
Also, if someone has a spare minute, I’d love to get your thoughts on what’s going on with that top right corner on the back of the card. Looks like whoever graded this a 9 was having a weird day?
So I understand pwcc has abunch of payment options and the good scans of the cards but are you guys noticing a dramatic premium on pwcc auctions vs ebay? It’s getting insane.
For example I just bought my PSA 8 first edition Lugia for less than 1k. Pwcc auction ended at $1575!
@squirtle1000 I just seen your post and ya that’s basically what I’m describing. Looking like no more pwcc for me. I’m not into setting records everytime I want to add a card to my collection
They don’t vet the cards coming in as there’s too many. If they did notice and it’s not a high-selling card they most likely would ignore it as they place the diligence on the buyer. Like this one:
As someone who doesn’t know much about vintage Japanese exclusives I have no idea what’s wrong with that Poliwrath. I’ll take everyone’s word on it though! Good thing I don’t have more money than sense or I could be right there with the proverbial sports guy lol.
It’s actually a reprint of the Coro Coro illustration contest winner that it’s erroneously labelled as, not the original winner’s prize. In this case the reprint is from the Red/Green set.
Vending is glossy with rarity symbolred/green is non-glossy w/o rarity symbol
So the rarity symbol is the best identifier
If you’re referring to the actual illustration winner card it’s glossy with rarity symbol so unless something else stands out we currently don’t know of a way to differentiate between vending and the original contest winner, so all copies get treated as a mislabeled vending card (which is true). The winners I believe still own their copies.
Yup, definitely interesting. I am not sure about what higher end cards did this week as I only really look at cards that are sub $500, but I won 0 cards this week where I have been snagging 10-20 each block the past couple months from PWCC. Some of the ending prices were a bit shocking… I bought a PSA 9 Eevee much on eBay a month ago for just under $150, and I have been watching the price of munch PSA 9s creeping back up on eBay since then, with Eevee now selling between $160-$210. The PSA 9 Psyduck and Eevee sold last night on PWCC for $312 each.
As of right now there are multiple BIN options on eBay for both the Psyduch and Eevee PSA 9 that are under $200.
Only thing I can think of is the certs are sequential, but I don’t see how that would affect anything unless you are looking at buying the full set together.
The ability to pay with crypto, no shipping costs by sending it to the vault and not having time to check all the prices for all of the cards you are interested in are to name a few.
Ha just to be clear they’re just opportunistic fixed price listings that have been up for ages, nobody has fallen for it yet. It’s PSA’s original error but if I were PWCC I’d take those down - or at least list them correctly with a note saying they’re mislabels by PSA
Agreed, Just saw a psa 10 pikachu gentleman promo go for 990 last night weekly auction and you can just buy it now from ebay for 375 lol makes no sense.
If those sellers are aware of the mislabel then what they are doing seems highly unethical. By pricing the cards that high they are being actively deceptive, hoping someone will fall for it. I do hope PWCC does something about this because I would hate to see anyone fall for it.
That individual was on E4, and is now banned for willfully incorrectly listing that card. Here is the thread where another member showed the exact card submitted to PSA.
