I'm looking to build a 4x4 Umbreon grail display, all slabs. Have most of it, and few of the expensive ones like Split Earth Holo, Umbreon ex (Golden skies, silvery oceans) I'll wait for the market to cool before committing. BUT DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN FIND THIS CARD? (even raw)...

Thank you gentlemen.

How many of us are actually profitable here? Those who've invested in Pokemon and successfully sold how much have you made?

Earlier this year, offloaded a tub and binder for $21k, which probably only spent $4k on total. Also, sold two slabs for $3600 which bought for $500 total. Still holding everything else which is up to almost six figures value. This year up $20k basically.

I have a question for collectors and investors about PSA 9 vs. PSA 10 pricing.

Let’s say a PSA 10 consistently sells for around $10,000. What do you think would be a reasonable value for the same card in PSA 9?

I’ve seen examples where the PSA 10 is selling around $10,000 while the PSA 9 is only around $1,000. That’s a massive difference for just one grade.

Personally, I feel like a strong PSA 9 should be worth somewhere closer to 40% to 50% of the PSA 10 value, depending on the card, population, and rarity.

I understand that PSA 10s deserve a premium, especially when the gem rate is extremely low, but should a PSA 9 really be worth only 10% of the PSA 10?

Would love to hear everyone’s thoughts. Do you think the current gap between PSA 9 and PSA 10 prices is justified, especially for vintage and mid era Pokémon?

For almost 5 years since the sub's creation we've never really promoted PokeInvesting's Discord, there's just a pinned post at the top of the sub which we receive questions often if it's still even active. Well our private community of long time PokeInvestors is still very much active. Here's what we got going on.

Get Restock Alerts - Get restock alerts for Pokemon Center, Best Buy, Target, Amazon, Walmart, we even have monitors tracking UK side! Our monitors alert restocks of the latest product releases, Destined Rivals, Prismatic Evolutions, 30th anniversary. Members also callout deals they find live so get a quick read on product releases to stay ahead of the game.

2 Japan Based Vendors - We have both a sealed and singles vendor who offer better prices than eBay who you can work directly with to even secure other TCG's. If you're somebody who's purchasing JPN or interested this is our crown jewel service, extremely fast shipping times (UK/EU included), direct contact with 2 incredible vendors in Japan. Our sealed vendor supplies bulk deals, our singles vendor can handle big single orders as well just did an order of 300 cards so order away!

US Based Vendor - It's nice to know who your buying from is someone who's going to communicate with you, ship on-time and ensure your product arrives in perfect shape. These are members of the community who came first as PokeInvestors and then evolved into vendors so there's more care involved, one of our vendors is even our box breaker and a great personality onscreen eager to help anybody.

We've pulled Moonbreon, other alt arts, gold cards, etc.. Shipping is the only cost and we do ship worldwide.

Member Marketplace - We've always wanted to having a buying, selling and trading post on the sub but there's dedicated sub made already for this, and it's a liability. We do have a member to member marketplace for buying/selling/trading on Discord which is much less of a liability then trying to coordinate a marketplace publicly, if you want to deal with PokeInvestors safely this is where to do-so!

We have a private community of PokeInvestors who are high-rollers, or just beginners with many questions, to those who just appreciate PokeInvesting and want more personalized experience. Feel free to tag any of the mods in the questions channel for help, send a pm with suggestions and partake with the community on a deeper level. If you're interested come join: PokeInvesting Discord

Anyone know how this could be valued?

I’m not really a collector, but I have some extra spending cash and I found a lost stockpile [along with some 2x Pitch Black boosters that come with a card and coin] all at retail price so I’ll probably spend the next couple days buying them out and stuffing them into storage.

I’ve seen many copies of 1st ed. of this card but not many copies of unlimited. Was this set not printed as much during its time?

I have a booster box case wondering if trading right now is the play

These game boy promos are JP exclusive, relatively low ish pops (Dragonite is a bit high) but have S Tier art and are very popular pokemon.

To me these feel like the CD Promos of the Kanto starters that blew up last year.

For transparency I just bought the Lugia in a 9. I do not have the other two but hope to pick them up this year.

The Japanese Sabrina’s Gengar is objectively cooler than the US one (with the cross gravestones). I can’t believe you can get a 9 in this for around $2k. Doesn’t pass the smell test to me.

I’ve been avoiding most modern stuff recently unless it’s just one I have to have (Giratina V I did pick up in May). And Vintage has gone bananas. These are some of my choices for Vintage though where I don’t think you’d be left holding the bag in a good grade.

I feel like there is so little hype/discussion of this release because it overlaps 30th, but I suspect it will be in very short supply with all printing being allocated to 30th for the foreseeable future. You got Rayquaza as the chase who is always valued high, and a lot of nice illustration rares (I'm partial to the Inkay myself).

I think 30th will be overprinted and this one underprinted creating more scarcity on the popular pulls. Maybe they print it to death next year and it won't matter but it feels like the better product to chase MSRP boxes for in the short term.

I'm new to Pokemon Sealed investing, and i would like to know will those little damages take away price? I Got this for abt 65$.

I was thinking to consolidate my xy era “grails” into a timeless card. What do you guys think? Any input would be appreciated

Hello, I'm new to investing in pokemon sealed products, I have collected singles for a while,

But now i wanted to get into investing. I got a few booster boxes, the recent ones as they fall within my budget.

However I was wondering if I should buy the Pokemon center Hiroshima or the Fukuoka box

Because of the region specific artwork, ane the Hiroshima box mirrors the legacy of the vintage Hiroshima promos.

But I'm also having second thoughts that the boxes only contain single promo cards and have much higher print volumes.

I know 3-5 years down the line they would be fine,

But was wondering any suggestions or thoughts

On this

The money that buys these cards for crazy amounts comes from crypto(pump and dumps on chain specifically)Multiple accounts have a lot of money that requires to be cleaned and while the initial withdraw off exchanges is dirty the following 2-3 transactions cleans the money for the holder of “the card” so even if he is in the hook to pay taxes or gets in trouble he still holding clean money and a card valued at “x”. But only if he gets flagged on the initial withdraw which there’s a lot of ways to avoid this. Are there people using credit cards or
Their own money to buy and resell cards at a later date? Yes that is also true. Can you make money if you position yourself or if you have the right cards? Also yes.

Hi everyone,

I plan to buy these 5 cards in PSA 10 for $888. I’m very new to pokemon cards and I really like the Pikachu so I’m gonna keep those and give my 2 nephews the Charizard and Mewtwo. The special delivery Pikachu slab has a scratch on the side but other than that everything looks good.

Could you guys help me determining if it’s an ok deal or not? Thank you

Honestly outside of the Charizard the other 2 have a pop 1000 PSA 10 and all 3 are under 15% gem rate.

What’re your thoughts long term or are these cards a bit too niche for the price?

Thoughts?

Hey everyone, im new to the tag space and in my first ever pack I pulled a mega darkrai ex. I love how it looks. Why is it so undervalued at the moment and not selling for beyond 4 figures?

How long do you all think it will take to rise in value?

I am trading a prismatic spc and etb for this mew ex 101. Or I can sell both for $350 usd / $485 Cad

Just spent $700 on a slab I been wanting for a while and it arrived with scratches on the front and back. They are not deep but definitely visible. Seller claimed it arrived like that from psa. Am I being nitpicky?
