Not yet, but definitely grading both with my next submission! Definitely, especially since lately they seem to be ending at higher prices whenever there’s been an auction for either version.
I got my order of 5 cards. The cards were different sets. One was an upgrade from 10 years ago. All are very nice condition. Came in a large box with a Zekrom figure. On the back of the package “For use as prize in Japan only”
Got my order which was because of a refund on my first due to the condition today, went with xy6 cards which were all mint condition which was much nicer to see, I got a little latios key chain from a pokemon centre with them
I am pretty sure the only reason the actually include the gift is for customs reasons so they can mark as a package at the value of the free thing they include with it, I enjoy getting the key charms from the pokemon centres free from them as I think they look great, also half the time if you get one the resale value is almost as much as the card you bought providing you aren’t getting high end cards which I wouldn’t recommend from them because of condition, win win if you wanted to cover the cost of the card for free
This site seems pretty great at having obscure cards available to buy. Last night I ordered a whole bunch of odds and ends that I’ve never seen listed on eBay et al. Nothing super valuable, but just some random things like deck cards from the HGSS era that never got released in America, older promos like that DPt-P Heatran that I’ve never seen for sale online a single time in 6+ years, etc. However, pricing seems erratic at best sometimes.
Looks like they removed the 100% excelent guarantee.
If they has two of one card, for two diffrent prices, does that mean the cheapest is in worse condition? Last time I bought from them they did not do it this way. (Or atleast not from what I saw)
After my first purchase with TCG Republic I got an email asking for feedback. I stated that my card had a very small nick on the edge and slight edge wear and to compensate they gave me a $5 coupon to use.
They did it with Imakuni?'s Exploud EX and Wishmur too. Ended up buying the two cheapest version. They looked allright, saw no diffrence on the cards themself, only a bit blurier photo of them. And a smal piece of something like dust on Exploud EX.
I was asking here since I know this dealer who purchases boxes from Japan and sells it at where I live. He uses 1 day shipping and somehow gets his stock even earlier than AmiAmi does (Bandit Ring booster boxes arrived on June 19th, one day earlier than the original release date). It sort of got me thinking so I decided to ask you guys in case any of you might know any distributors of some sort.
