Maybe 2 or 3 people trying to complete a PSA 10 set…? Idk
And I thought selling mine for $150 apiece a year or two ago was high

Have the tms been paid for? Few cards went strangely higher than expected this block but tended to be your usual suspects that are expensive anyway but the tms i can’t even begin to think of an explanation.
I don’t think the crypto pump is a coincidence. But it is surprising to see how the crypto bros spend their money. I thought they were warren buffet investing chads? Why would they go way above comps
Sell the TMs, buy them on another account with crypto. You now converted crypto to USD. I guess??

Is +5 to the pop in a year normal for VS series?
Then do what with that USD? Buy cards? Otherwise you still need to get it off to a bank account and pay the premium which is quite high. BitPay also requires KYC so if you’re going to do KYC might as well just use a crypto debit card and pay no premium. I’m really not sure what’s going on here.

I don’t have an answer. I can’t say I’m well versed in crypto money laundering techniques

Maybe they use the cash in PWCC to take a loan out and then pay back the loan??
But I’m surprised by the WB Pikachu
After going though last week’s auction and this one coming, there are so many graded commons/uncommon of wotc,
Is it just one guy who has been hoarding these and decided to finally sell them all at once?
I’m on page 40 and I’ve only just reached the neo cards.
Thoughts
I haven’t been paying attention to PWCC as much but I feel like they always have an enormous WotC section and about 12 pages of mid modern then newer modern for like another 15-20. So I don’t know if what you are describing is too out of the ordinary
There was a March deal for some special sellers. It offered a much higher cut of their buyer’s premium, even for cheap cards. This was a huge incentive to list dead inventory.
Buy super high value cards at conventions with dirty cash, then sell at PWCC. Easy way to get clean taxable money…

There was def more last week. 6500 vs the usual 3500-4500
Almost everything that I watched on PWCC tonight is selling for more than what I expected. Certainly this is fueled by crypto payments, no?
