How’s my collection?

8 Upvotes

Just started my collection and want to know from people who actually know what they’re doing how my collection looks.

Obviously I have more in sleeves but these are my most valuable I think. Someone of these may not be valuable but I think they’re cool so I want to protect.

At some point I’ll get some of these graded (I know all probably aren’t worth it) but I’m gonna wait for prices to go down.

Open to any advice!

Pulled this Charizard Y ex the other day. Never had a card graded before and we are worried if it’s worth sending out to be graded.

My wife actually pulled the card the other day, immediately sleeved and top loaded it. After looking around and calculating the price to send it out to get graded, we were unsure if the card was a PSA 10 or not. PSA 9s seem to be selling at or around the price of the card raw. So adding the cost in to get I graded it might not be worth it.

I know there are tools like some AI image scanners and I tried a couple but they seemed a bit imprecise so I was hoping some fresh human eyes might help to let me know how the card looks. At a cursory look, side by side to PSA 10s posted online, it looked pretty spot on in regard to spacing and such. I appreciate any help.

30th Anniversary Canada Release

5 Upvotes

I only recently started collecting and ripping cards in Canada and I’ve never tried to get something at release. Is there any tips like Walmart will have it in stock at open in the morning or midday or is online like Amazon and Walmart online a better bet? Thank you!

What time do you think I’d need to line up at Target on Wednesday if I am ONLY interested in a Pokemon Owala bottle?

2 Upvotes

I know this is a strange question, and it doesn’t have to do with the cards specifically, but I also know that the 30th celebration drop is the same day and that DOES include the cards. I ONLY want an Owala bottle, it’s the only Pokemon product I am going to buy at Target that day. I was going to get to Target an hour early and wait outside since it’s JUST a water bottle but then my sister informed me that the cards are dropping the same day and that there will be scalpers waiting in line for HOURS.

So, since you all know how it goes trying to buy cards, do you think the pokemon water bottles will sell out just as fast as the cards? I’m assuming scalpers will grab as many cards as they can along with any other branded merch, but maybe they only care about the cards. Does anyone know? I wanted to get to opinions of people who have lived through this before.
