Maybe this belongs in its own thread but have any of you seen the PWCC vault they are offering soon?
Thoughts?

I think the concept is cool but I have doubts as to how successful it would be. I personally get the most enjoyment out of being able to look at my collection whenever I please. Having my cards locked away in a vault somewhere that is most likely far from where I live doesn’t seem to be worth it.
I feel that it would only be valuable for the top 1%+ collectors and even then a safety deposit box at your local bank would do the same job. The only value added benefit I see is the line of credit offering but even then idk.

Literally 3 1st edition base set PSA 10s this month (Mewtwo, Poliwrath and Squirtle) compared to 17 I think last month and 40+ the month before that. Very interesting.

I’ll be interested to see if the next auction is as quiet as this upcoming one, these wasn’t even any MTG at all consigned for the current block and there was the least amount of pokemon than there’s been in what, a year or more?

Woah ! Is there a reason gengar went so high ? Is it low pop or something ? Crazy number

Who exactly is this guy that is buying all these high end cards for top premium prices? Ive heard about multiple cards he has bought. I know he also bought that SSB as well for 60k I think it was.

Yeah it was 60k on the dot. He first offered 40k, then 50k which both got declined. Third time was the charm for what was coincidentally the No. 3 Trainer SSB.

@thecharizardmaster curious if you needed it to complete a set or do you really like the card?

I needed it to complete my 2nd set. I’m almost done. Just missing 3 more cards and I’ll have a master set. Unfortunately I was in a bidding war with somebody else who knew the true value of this card. Very hard to obtain since it has a population of 6. I was surprised myself it got up to $1,500 but I expected it to be around $1,100. I guess somebody else had the same idea. Lol

You guys see that Bgs 9.5 1st ed zard on pwcc up to 15k?? Wow! I’m not too much into Bgs but are quad 9.5s really worth around that? About 3 month ago a 3x 9.5 and 1x 9 went for 6k on pwcc. How do you Bgs guys view a 4x 9.5 compared to a 3x 9.5?

@pierce , do you have any sales data of Bgs 9 and 9.5 1st edition base zards?

It’s a strong card. PWCC has great hi-res pics, which makes this clear.
It looks like someone was shooting for a Pristine 10 and missed the mark so they decided to dump it.
Also factor in the fact that there are no more legitimate PSA 10 copies available, which is going to push prospective buyers to the next best thing.

No I don’t track BGS sales only PSA sorry. That quad zard could be going high because it’s a good crossover candidate, potentially cheap way to get a PSA 10 based on the end price.

I don’t understand the crazy bidding with 9 days left to go. I guess we will have to wait and see how high it goes and if it’s even paid for.
To be fair though, if we value PSA 10 at $40k, this card selling close to $20k wouldn’t be THAT surprising to me.
Most other 9.5s we’ve seen in the past year never looked better than the usual PSA 9 so it’s normal they did not earn much of a premium.

Makes total sense on big items. Get rid of the riff raff early. Not many people are going to be dropping a 17k bid now so now you’re just going against a few people

I like it when they post up the new stuff so early 
It’ll be interesting to see where the BGS Quad 1st Ed Base Charizard finishes … I wonder if whoever buys it will try for a PSA 10 crossover or if they just prefer BGS.
Edit: I just noticed the label actually says ‘Thick Stamp’ on it, kinda funny they designate it like that IMO.

That’s news to me, too! How cool.
