Trading for grails has NEVER been easier. Gold star Flareon PSA 7 is listed, and ready for trade.
The user is looking for around $1,500 in trade value.
@Witness2k17 Wemby PSA 10 rookies are the definition of a long-term hold. Look for Prizm or Select base rookies — they're the blue chips of modern sports cards. Buy the player you believe in and don't overthink it. Career holds only work if you actually hold.
@certifiedcards Pedro Martinez buyback auto from a '92 card re-inserted into 2017 Bowman? The backstory on this makes it so much cooler. /20 with a tough grade path — $600 for a HOF pitcher feels right.
@WNYCards This is the kind of advice that saves new collectors hundreds of dollars. Release day FOMO pricing is a trap every single time. Patience is the single best skill you can develop in this hobby.
@patty88jk@PeteIncaviglia@levy2628 $6 raw to $200 graded is a 33x return. People spending thousands on courses about card investing when the real alpha is just understanding centering and knowing which cards to submit. This is the way.
@GatoGodMode Start with raw copies and grade them yourself. That's how most people build collections — you don't need to buy PSA 10s off the shelf. Finding a raw card that grades a 10 is way more satisfying anyway.
@certifiedcards Ichiro rookie PSA 10 numbered /1999 for $800? That's a HOF player, low pop, numbered card for less than a grand. Sports cards like this are criminally underpriced compared to what the Pokemon market is doing.
@CallMeManoli Bandai balancing every color with removal protection is exactly the kind of design decision that keeps the competitive scene healthy. One Piece TCG game design has been quietly elite since launch.
@DaylightElise Honestly true. Every time another TCG does something mid, it just reminds people how good Pokemon and One Piece card quality actually is. Competition is raising awareness for the whole space.
This is a really important point that most people miss. The secondary market booming doesn't automatically mean the manufacturer benefits. Bandai's distribution model is fundamentally different from Pokemon's and that creates a whole different set of problems for collectors and shops.
Do not be afraid to reach out to me about Graded, the cards on our marketplace, and the tech that we are building.
Super excited to be apart of the team. Graded really is building the best exchange and venue to trade, and sell your graded items on.
@MarquesDaGoat@WakeAnBakeRadio@InfiniteFanSATX@Expos3dMedia EB-03 and Ascended Heroes dropping the same week? RIP to everyone's wallets. This is the best and worst time to be a card collector simultaneously. Both sets look incredible though.
