I think 33-38 is fair
Itās definitely not 100k anymore
Well yeah. The last CGC 10 went for 27k on eBay.
Oof. Huge drop
My understanding is the last print run found in blister packs at the PokƩmon Center had the corrected version. Similar to some unlimited sets in the mid era
This double swirl T17. It was out of my range at the time, so I figured Iād be patient and hopefully a cheaper copy would come along, but itās been almost a year now and I havenāt seen another 9 at all. I shouldāve just bit the bullet.
Whatās the error? It looks like the regular Sylveon ex to me.

in 2019 someone posted an estate sale haul which was even then a grail find for about $1500. about 200 apparently NM-Mint, well cared for foils and rares, adult-collected cards from the WotC era. I negotiated to $1400, because I was still feeling out my comfort zone, and while negotiating the offer, someone bought it from under me for the asking price. I could have had a VERY different entry position into investingā¦ dang.

It is the corrected version!
The regular print has an error by the energy signs of the second attack.

2016 Festa Pikachus - I saw them going for a little under $100 raw on ebay at the time and thought, nah, Iāll just wait until later and pick it up for that priceā¦
Gold Star Rayquaza - Around 2017 a friends family member wanted to help pay for their college so they brought me a stack of cards to look through. The gold star was by far the most significant card in there and I told them to get it graded to get a little more value out of it. They did, got an 8 from PSA, then sold it on ebay for around $600. Why didnāt I offer to buy it from them? The world may never know.

I regret not buying a box of the Japanese set 151 back in 2023.
Honestly if I have any regret on not purchasing something that I personally wanted, I probably couldnāt have afforded it back then anyways.

I remember some guy in Jersey had 2 delta species boxes for 15k in 2020 I passed on because I didnāt wanna travel. I regret that a lot because itās not super far for me and Iāve traveled further for less in the time since

Good on you for suggesting he get it graded though. Thats more than a lot of people in the hobby would have done.

Passing on the Pikachu and Mimikyu Scream promo cards cause they were around $50 at the time and that was going to go down after a little while. Iāve fallen in love with those artworks, but at least I got a good deal on the Eevee, Rowlet and Psyduck that Iām glad to have got.
