WHOA WHOA WHOA BIG NEWS!!!
PWCC literally *JUST* informed me that there will be 1 full minute between each of the PSA 10 1st edition Base Set holos. They are starting the auction 15 minutes earlier than originally planned to accommodate this (they were able to do this since my cards are the first in the entire block).
That is great news, I’m so happy to hear that for you, could it be extended to 5 minutes?
Aww, looks like I’m not getting a good deal 
Definitely great news, much much better structure
Lol, wow dude
Inb4 I set my alarm for X o clock to see all but the final one had already ended and I forgot to set my snipes because I was 15 minutes late.
Don’t think this thought hasn’t crossed my paranoid mind. 
But yeah, the listings will now begin closing at 8:45PM EST on December 12th, instead of 9:00PM EST as originally planned.
The listings are live now.
Just to get the inevitable way too early conversation started:
I saw them all at 0.99 cents. Did the bubble pop? Why did people not bid these up faster.
15 minutes later and Charizard went to $20k. Do you think the rate of those bid increases will sustain for the whole 10 days? That puts Charizard at about $19.2M after 10 days which feels like a steal.
Any extra 15 minutes on Discord with everyone . . . sounds good to me! 
The guy who does the videos with the cards really likes the word “lofty” lol
Wonder why they skip some of the 1st Ed Holos to show on video?
O shit, you cashin out?? Gonna miss you homie
I know this is a joke but if anyone who ever sold a card was completely cashing out there would be like three people on e4.
Not sure if serious, but just in case let me clarify this…
I’m not going anywhere!
But I came to the decision to sell these cards because it got to the point that my collection was too substantial of a portion of my net worth.
Down the road, I would love to buy back many of the things that I’m selling this month. But I don’t think I’m yet at the point in my life where it makes sense for me to own a 7-figure collection. It’s better off in someone else’s hands at the moment.
What I am keeping is my trophy cards and my binder collections, and I plan on re-building my graded card collection over time.
@enlightenedbulbasaur I definitely know the feeling of owning more money worth of cards over cash in my bank account. I’m still very comfortable with that though. If I ever really needed cash I could just pick one or two cards and get the $500 or so i might need in a emergency. Well judging off your stories and the pictures I’ve seen of your collection you will have some serious cash coming in. Did you get rid of the PSA 10 Zard? Congratulations on buying it so many years ago and holding this long!
Me past few months when I forced myself to recognize it was fiscally irresponsible not to sell some cards:
Me when that sweet sweet PWCC money actually hits the bank account:
i mean, ultimately its diversifying and adjusting your portfolio. Cashin out always has a negative connotation i feel like. But its the norm for most investment farms to continuously reassess their portfolio/goals every quarter and adjust accordingly. Outside of real estate/ETFs/company stock plan, I adjust my positions in things at least once a quarter if there’s better opportunity elsewhere. Gains like what we have seen in 2020 are unsustainable.
I’m bullish on the cards I am selling. I think that they will very likely be worth more in the coming years than they are right now. But yeah, this is just about redistributing my portfolio in a way that takes on less risk.
Even after I sell what I’m going to sell this month, I will still have an overall collection worth well into 6 figures. That doesn’t quite match up with the idea of “cashing out”!
And as @qwachansey, said, I know I’m going to be tempted by a lot of things when that PWCC money eventually comes back. 
EB- is your set one of the 11/12 on the psa registry?
If so- will you be taking that down?
I was always curious about that.
With recent sales at pwcc of complete sets being broken up… how many complete sets are out there currently?
Roll call anyone??
I retired my PSA 10 set after the last PWCC auction. No plans to grade or register my binder set. That will likely go to my kids someday
My set was never registered. As @jonandek , mentioned one of the registry sets was his, but with his down that brings the number down a peg.
We know the theoretical maximum number of complete sets is 46, but I suspect the real number of complete sets is probably in the mid-20s. Just speculation though. They’re certainly incredibly rare (and the PSA pop growth suggests that situation isn’t going to change) and thanks to Jon and me they just got rarer. 
Also if you want to go into the whole stamp thing, my set was one of just a small handful of complete thick stamp sets in the world. Could probably count those on one hand.
