Preferably raw near mint cards because they’re going into a binder. I will buy PSA 7-8 if the candidate is particularly appealing though. I probably can’t afford the premium of PSA 9.
Shining Magikarp $6,000 (Hardest to price. Card is readily available at a huge range of prices that don’t sell. No recent sales on eBay at all. Card is available between $5,000 - $7,000 on Japanese sites)
I prize centering so would prefer a centered card in a little worse condition than a mint card with bad borders.
Please message me if you think you have a card for me.
I have also been looking for the fan club Karp, but it has prices all over. If OP passes on an offer I would be interested but OP has full priority. Great set of cards!
I am able to source a raw NM Japanese Fan Club Magikarp @stagecoach@joer
The price will be around $5500, I can send you pics if interested? There is a light scratch on the back, as well as very slight edge wear, but I would say it would be around an 8. I’m TurtleGang#5228 on Discord btw, I don’t really use the forum that much but I go by the same username /u/levu12 on Reddit if you want to check refs!
Oh it is possible to source a NM Fan Club Porygon as well for around $1500, the front is clean and back has no edge wear, but unfortunately there are light scratches on the back, nothing extreme but enough to dock it
Appreciate all the folks reaching out so far, I’ve passed on everything so far for condition/centering hangups and am still in the market. Will update this thread if I make a purchase, but I’m still looking right now!
Bought a Porygon. Removing it from the topic for now, but may add it back if I’m not pleased with the card in-hand. Will update the topic along the way!
@stagecoach I have sourced a fan club karp in PSA 8 quality raw. I’m proxy buying from someone that made the purchase for me from Japan and paid using G&S. Assuming everything works out I will pass along his information as he does this sort of thing often. I also have interest from another source with a raw copy. I’ll share that as well once I’m sure my copy has been secured. Might be a few weeks though given it is coming from Japan.
