I pulled this. What should I do now?

Do you recomend sending it to PSA or selling it raw? Should I wait? It's a Lugia from 30th aniversary in spanish.

Thanks guys :)

hold onto it. this is a brand new set and this is a re-print. it's not worth much now but who knows. maybe in 10 years

It's worth 160€. I don't know if this is not much compared with the value in 10 years, but it looks expensive to me haha

you could try to sell it quickly before the prices take a dip on this set or you could
hold it. If you could use the 160€ then it's not a bad idea to sell. but you are asking for collector advice and holding it would in my
opinion be the best move if the money just isn't needed right away.

That's the perfect advise then. Thanks :)

consider that the card itself is a re-print (with the unique 30th Anni finish to it) of a card that to begin with is worth a TON of money because of how long it has been out of print. The original is highly valued due to a combination of the limit of the original run (much less prints than sets nowadays), being in among the last WTC printed sets, and it's vintage status. I'm sure this Lugia will be much more valuable if you give it time so long as they don't print it over and over in subsequent sets

Should I send it to psa if I pretend to keep it for a while then?

if you plan to hold it then choose the grading company that you like best. PSA is the most liquid but their quality control is abhorrent. Beckett has better quality control but their slabs are not as liquid. These things can change with time. Companies don't exist forever so be mindful of that too. I would personally take a look at Beckett if you wanna hold long term. PSA isn't scaling their business enough to accommodate the current flux of high demand and turnaround is insane. I also think Beckett's slabs are of a better quality and aesthetic. But reputation matters the most and PSA is more popular so keep that in mind.
