Hello! This is this week's weekly pricing, buying, selling, grading, and general questions post. Here you can ask the community what your cards might be worth, if you should buy what you have your mind on, whether or not you should grade a card, etc. Be sure to post images where applicable.

You can also check out the Pokemon Quick Info Guide made by u/Lyleberr.

We get it. You hate scalpers, Pokemon center's website sucks, your local store is a rip-off, and other stuff.

But if you want to also post about it, make a comment, leave a screenshot, whatever else.

Rules of the sub are still in force. Bans still happen for breaking them.

Help/Question How is it possible that a card I submitted to PSA got selled on Fanatics???

370 Upvotes

The Dragonite from Expedition Base Set is my alltime favorite card. For a while now, I'm owning a PSA 1 to PSA 10 set of this card, as you can see here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonTCG/s/ddRie9DKEd

I’ve just noticed that a PSA 10 with my specific serial number was allegedly sold on Fanatics on October 23rd:

https://www.fanaticscollect.com/premier/a70118b4-c270-11f1-8b3a-0a58a9feac02

Since I've personally sent this card to PSA and kept it since then, this is absolutely impossible. The card shown in the image is definitely not mine. The holo effect is different. Also, the lettering doesn't look correctly formatted. In my image of the set, you can see that the PSA logo is always aligned with the 'O' in the word "Holo." This is the case for all of my cards, except for the one that was sold. I genuinely believe someone has purchased a fake slab for $288.000?...or what’s your take on this?

Update: I reached out to PSA and Fanatics. I'll update this Post if they response.

Discussion More thrift store finds

Last week I made a post about a Shining mew I purchased for ¥30,000 at Book-Off

I’ve noticed this Ooyama Pikachu and ___’s mew at another local thrift store that hasn’t moved in a pretty long time. This is primarily a clothing thrift store with only a handful of cards tucked in the back so I doubt they will ever do a sale

I think the price for the pikachu is pretty bonkers personally, but it’s always cool to see these cards out and about still!

Edit: spelling error

This is also my first real Pokemon adventure as well. As a child I never had many cards, and some neighbor apartment kids took what I had while they promised holo’s in return. Never to be seen again. As an adult I have become obsessed lately. The artwork is so incredible and I am dreaming of getting a charizard one day. I heard that prismatic isn’t the best for pulls but it’s what I had available and I love some of the cards! Eevee reminds me of my dog so I love the promo card. I pulled a leafeon that’s amazing and I pulled a lot of basic “rare” holo’s that are just so pretty. If anyone has any recommendations for the next etb to look into I’m all ears!

Opened two knockouts and a poster box. Ended getting a Gengar EX from one of the two knockouts and an SIR and one Classic Celebration from the poster box.

As an older gen fan, I respect Greninja. However, its not right that the aura-farming amphibian has more Illustration cards than the Gen 2 final evos combined.

Its literally just these three.

this year alone, Greninja got an SIR from Chaos Rising, an IR in 30th, and if want to include the gold card and break , that would bring it to 4.

I understand that Greninja if for a younger generation of fans nor am i saying that there should be less chases for it.

I just believe that the older generation evolution lines deserve more than just one, especially after 27 years since the original Gold and Silver, and 17 years since Heart Gold & Soul Silver. Feel old yet?

This week end I attended a Convention in Paris and I almost bought it at a high price range because I was desperate to have it. I was hesitating for a while, but turned it down and instead I bought a mini tin for €20. That same evening I pulled my Chase card since the beginning of the 30th Pokémon anniversary. I am so happy 🤩
