I’m selling one of my best investment cards. I refer to this card like this because all its attributes assessed when grading are perfect: IMO there’s no reason why this shouldn’t Grade a 10. As most ppl know, Pokémon cards have issues with their centering/card’s bordering. No matter if I’m looking at one of mine or someone else’s raw Pokémon card, the first thing I do is inspect the card’s centering or borderline.

IMO: this is a huge reason why so many Pokémon cards don’t Grade a 10? I mean right there for any and everyone to see, the bordering is nominal on 2-3 sides and the 4th is half the thickness of the other 2-3. It’s very frustrating and hard for me to find a raw card I’m happy with and confident enough will grade high. Let’s just call a spade a spade: we’re all looking for a raw(ungraded) card/s that will potentially Grade a PSA 10.

I’ll sum this up by saying: if a raw ultra rare card is worth $50, if it grades a PSA 10, the value just appreciated to $275-$300. This all depends on the card and its current popularity, but if it’s one of those cards that everyone has to have, it’s possible it could even go up to as much as 500 or more? I’ve seen it happen here on eBay. It’s tricky though because you’ll hear Pokémon is releasing their new set on the 15th of August and you’ll be surfing eBay and see several cards that are from that new set that hasn’t been released yet? And then a few days later there’s several of them Graded and you’re just like, WTHeck just happened? Idk, but some people just know some ppl who know some ppl that can get certain things before everyone else? Oh yeah….. I’m one of those guys and I’m now going to focus my selling on Pokémon cards. The last several years it’s been about the nicest vintage hockey equipment available on eBay for the best prices, but I’m now pushing that aside because I want a new adventure! Who is with me?

Every Pokémon card I own was pulled from booster packs by me. I’m mentioning this because I handle my cards as little as possible and hence why my cards are so pristine. Finally, another reason my cards are mint, is because I never use them to play. Some people can say whatever they want, but in the my friend, it all comes down to condition, condition, condition!

Cards that have been played with usually show wear on their backsides along the blue border, and also I’ve noticed holo cards have scratches/imperfections in the character’s hologram picture which simply comes from holding your hand of cards and shuffling them the same as if you’re playing poker.

The power of a raw and rare card leaving your home and returning 3 months later (on average) graded a PSA 10, is seriously like hitting the jackpot. I’ve seen it too many times and this is how to make money on Pokémon cards. Sometimes it’s a rare card whose value might not increase substantially initially, but will appreciate over time, and that my friend is what you call an “investment cards.” Not everyone is going to be a home run like I just mentioned before this, but it’s value will grow over time, so if you experience one like this I recommend: placing it in a safe and temperature controlled environment and let it rest for some years. We all know how fast time goes by and it only goes faster the older you get; so trust me…. someday several years later , how much fun would it be to grab out your safe 15-20 rare Pokémon cards all PSA 10’s (you almost forgot you had) to grab your phone and pull up the TCGPlayer App and check their current values? That sounds like a good time, definitely worthy of having some friends over and beer to drink. Personally I’m a big UFC fan so I’m thinking on a Saturday afternoon start early enough so you don’t miss the start of the fights.

This card is priced at $24.95 which is around $5 more than most of all the others listed, but for $5 more you’re most certainly going to get a PSA 10 returned in 3 months. Trust me… it’s worth it! Best wishes and whoever is lucky enough to purchase this card, please keep it touch with me messaging here on eBay because I want to hear the excitement in your message when you’re sharing the great news about how it Graded PSA GEM MT 10. If it doesn’t grade a PSA 10 I’ll refund the buyer $10. I’m that confident.

Please message with any questions or concerns?

Thanks
