Have come across a card with very little sales data and a low pop which I’m not sure how to value.
Will post a picture of the card. The person I’m talking with is looking for around $150 which I think should be a fair price but hoping some people with much greater knowledge will be able to let me know if it’s a wild number or not.
The team rocket sets always were a favorite and I’d like to start a binder on them as one of my first, so don’t mind slightly overpaying.
Considering the grade, I would put the value close to 120USD. I say this because there are far better conditioned copies on the secondary market which are going for 150-175USD. Of course, this is my opinion based on feeling and observations and no hard data.
It is a lovely card nonetheless.
Cheers!
Ok, not too far off. Thank you very much.
May I ask which secondary markets you referenced. I wasn’t personally able to find any but I may have just searched incorrectly as I was swamped by more common team rocket cards.
Also, not sure if this is something you’d know but may as well ask, I’ll be going to Japan in July, would you think I’d be able to find raw versions for cheaper in similar condition over there?
Hey, what am I missing here? Is this just a low pop thing? Why is this card in a 5 anywhere in the range of $100+?
The card is probably around a hundred dollars in just about any half-decent condition. Secret Rare from one of the best ex sets means $$$. Lowest list on eBay is $250 for a played copy, then $300 for a PSA 6. Lowest list on Mercari is around $170 for a played copy. Not that they are worth that much, but there isn’t a large supply of them so finding a cheaper copy may take a while.
Appreciate the response
Mercari JP, Yahoo Auctions JP and a few others like Rakuten, Surugaya etc. but I find most cards in Yahoo or Mercari.
I think if you make a seperate thread for advice or post it in the general thread you should be able to get helpful replies. A lot of forum members made a trip last year due to World’s so I am sure many will be able to help you out.
You can check out @genchiro thread from last year doing a great job cataloging a lot of the cards in their journey. It is a nice and a latest resource.
Cheers!
Thank you so much mate, you really are an incredible help! I appreciate it immensely.
I might start a thread closer to the time of leaving and also dm the member you mentioned to for best cities, as I’ll be traveling with my wife and daughter and really only want to spend a day or two looking for cards as holidays are for family time.
Already found a ton of stuff from the thread you linked that leads me to believe saving cash until Japan should be a better bet than spending now.
Thanks again
Alright thanks. Never would have thought, especially in JPN, for a 5
Guess I’ll watch this now
