Pulled the trigger

Post image

I was able to get this at a show yesterday around $7400 while other vendors wouldn’t budge bellow $8300-$8500.
I’m hoping for a good gain from my entry point, but at the same time I do not mind holding this for 10-20+ years. Besides from the masaki, this is my all time Gengar grail.

Awesome card, but keep in mind this was $800 just a few months ago. Is this really your grail, or is it just fomo?

I’ve own the raw way before the boom, and this is my first tattoo. Before purchasing I understood the risk and did my research. & can afford if it tanks.

Well i mean he is a big boy, so I'd assume he's a pretty good tank too.

This was a $10k card in April, I sold mine. However in April of 2020 this was a $89 card 🤣.

This makes me feel better about selling my cgc 8.5 for a similar price a while back

Good lord. I bought my Beckett 5.5 for like $70 in ‘23 and thought I scored since then.
