thats the mantle, right?

Nice. My daughter is starting to get serious about Pokemon. She has been infatuated with Hidden Fates recently and begged me to include one of her cards in my recent PSA submission. This looks like it is from the XY Evolution set?

I was saving to buy a PSA 5 1999 1st Edition knew they where going to explode in value some time just missed out they did before I could get mine. I would never pay the current prices.

My wife said grade it and sell it... I just think what it could be in 10 years.

Get it graded and set it aside. I was going to do the same with the 1st edition till I decided I am not paying 10k for a PSA 5. I could have got one in the summer for about 2k.

TheGoonies1985 · December 11, 2020 7:14PM

To be honest I do not know if this will sustain itself they are not rare it jut seems so many people jumped into it due to the world crisis we are living in and preferred owning a collectible. If I had the PSA 5 I would most likely sell it right now at 10k but I could be wrong maybe this will continue.

TheGoonies1985 · December 11, 2020 7:16PM

The 1993 MTG Alpha Black Lotus is truly a rare card in any grade to me that is a better card but who knows. I feel at the current prices the 1999 1st edition Charizard is a fools market.

1100 Alpha Black Lotus printed.

I know but how many left versus Charizard?

That Charizard you pulled isn't first edition. I don't know the print run of Pokemon.

Charizard is nothing like Black Lotus. If you draw Black Lotus in your opening hand your chances of winning the game are very high. I don't think Charizard has that kind of power. Charizard is just a creature.

There is a lower print run Black Lotus. There are only something like 50 Black Lotus Artist Proofs. They were printed months after the Alphas though.

I said it was 2016 charizard.

Interesting that there is a thread on this right now. I was going through some older boxes and found a 1999 Gamefreaks Charizard. Saw on ebay that the graded ones, even PSA 7's were going for over 2k.

THEN, I started looking at the sellers....ALL with 0-2 feedback. ALL of the buyers, 0-2 feedback. Auctions with 40+ bids, all with bidders with single digit and even some negative feedback. Saw where most of the highest 100 priced of these cards were all the same.....bought, sold, bid on by low or no feedback buyers. Searched internet and found an article that suggested making multiple ebay accounts to inflate prices of completed listings.

Havent really looked at the ones mentioned on this thread, but some of the sales look suspect as well, but not to the extent of the 1999 version. Would really be curious as to the actual value of some of these cards without having to sort through the completed listings that are littered with price manipulation

TheGoonies1985 · December 11, 2020 10:02PM

Seriously for a long time you could buy one at around the same price range within a few months they cost you 5 times more all of this makes zero sens. I have been a collector since the late 1980's I have never seen such a run up on anything.

What is the error on this card?

AlanSki · December 12, 2020 3:47PM

From a Walgreens pack today.

Middle card top.

Is your mewtwo different from this one that sells for $3.95? That's a serious question because I do not know anything about pokemon cards.

His are played cards. Mine is fresh from a pack. Just like coins, condition is everything.

I said only because you showed raw ones for $400, so I was curious why a PSA 10 would go for "only" $92. You said condition was everything and I would think that the tippy top of condition would be a PSA 10.

Maybe there weren't competitive bidders? Same reason why I was able to get 3 lincoln danscos with toned coins for under $75 shipped. No one wanted to compete.
