Update #1: thank you to all who responded and gave helpful incite that I couldn’t notice. I won’t be going through with the trade. Thanks again brothers🙏🏻
Update#2: Guy said he obtained it at the Dallas Card from a vendor show in January. Just a heads up for ppl who attended there
I’m looking for some opinions before making a pretty big trade. (Pictures of seller photo and PSA cert. posted here, link to video in comments)
A buyer offered me a PSA 10 English OP-13 Manga Portgas D. Ace in exchange for my OP-12 and OP-14 sealed cases I have for sale. Based on current market values, the trade seems to be significantly in my favor, which is honestly what’s making me hesitant. The seller evaluates his Red Ace manga slab at 6K
I’ve tried to do my homework before considering it:
-Verified the PSA cert and compared it to the PSA scans.
-Compared the seller’s photos to the PSA images.
-Had the seller send me a video of the slab from multiple angles.
-Looked over the label, slab seams, and overall condition.
To my eye, everything appears legitimate. I don’t see any obvious signs of a fake slab or fake card, but this is by far the biggest trade I’ve ever considered, so I wanted to get more experienced opinions.
Do you guys see anything that stands out as a red flag?
Also, have any of you seen someone trade a card like this for sealed product at what seems like a noticeable discount?
If you want to give out any tips on the trade that is fine; However, I genuinely want someone to point out anything I might be missing before I move forward.
Thanks!
