    You have to buy from sellers with 10k+ sales on TCG player; they’re scared to send cards completely trashed because they wanna keep a good rating. Even “damaged” from those sellers are typically pretty solid

      You are right, cause I am one of those sellers 😂

    Good binder pieces for the most part. I got my base set charizard for about $120 - it's pretty banged up, but it's nice to see in the binder.

    • @dia8183
      @dia8183 7 месяцев назад +7

      agreed- unless you want to grade a card, if it's an expensive one i'm totally fine buying ones thats creased or scratched if it bumps hundreds of dollars off of the price. i've bought some really nice MP vintage cards off of tcgplayer that look very nice in my binder.

      @DrDadPhD_13 7 месяцев назад +4

      Back in grad school I picked up a base set ‘zard for 20 bucks (circa 2013). Got it graded and it’s a psa 5. I think it gives it charm!

    • @linda3119
      @linda3119 7 месяцев назад +2

      Agreed. Plus if the damage is mostly on the back of the card, you won't even tell the difference. That's one way to get some rare-ish cards in your collection without breaking the bank lol

    • @Rainstormcuddling
      @Rainstormcuddling 5 месяцев назад

      I agree. If i want a card for my collection I don't care if it's slightly damaged. I don' have the money to get anything graded. I have a lot of the base set with a few damaged but I'm happy I have them.

  • @zachstoneburner7041
    @zachstoneburner7041 7 месяцев назад +2

    My fiance and I were going through her old cards and found a gold star mew in pretty great condition. The fact that it was still $200+ with that kind of damage is wild

  • @michaellashock9769
    @michaellashock9769 7 месяцев назад +14

    I’ve been wondering what it would look like buying damaged cards from tcgplayer. I don’t wanna get a massive fold in the card and pay double digits for it.

    @ShoeFixers 7 месяцев назад +3

    I'm pretty much looking forward to you grading those cards. Mainly because I have the Neo Genesis Lugia (First Edition) in my collection, but because I've had it since I was about 7/8 years old, it's not in great shape anymore 🙁 but it's still way better looking than the one you received😅

  • @shelbycornell9482

      If you think it has potential for a 9 you can try resending it in or using another grading company 😄

    I’m pretty sure I used to own that shining gyarados. I bought a bunch of them as well as Magikarps in damage condition for $20 back in 2017.

  • @robrosen3162

    I mean, PSA 1 cards are definitely collectible in their own right! PSA 2s on the other hand…

    • @SuperMattman88

  • @blackkyurem9813
    @blackkyurem9813 7 месяцев назад

    I can understand the pain of having beat up cards but i feel like that’s what makes a card vintage and worth its value even if it’s not worth anything price wise. It just feels legit and it’s hard to keep super old cards in good condition anyway

  • @peppe1633

    This video is the exact definition of OG Rev. I can tell you’re just hanging out with us viewers (authentic), putting yourself in our shoes (relatable), and having a fun time doing what you’re doing (enjoyable to watch).
    This isn’t me dogging on your modern day stuff; you know we enjoy it. It’s just refreshing to see you remaining consistent through the growth and not getting lost in the sauce.

    Theyre relics at this point and i think it’s a great idea to buy these and give them a new lease of life. It’s nostalgic and takes me back so far, really good to see the old bangers! Cant wait for the drop on how they graded.

  • @AliceinSilverland
    @AliceinSilverland 7 месяцев назад

    I just dont understand why condition is SO important for pricing a card. I mean a swing from from $23 to $2300 just based on condition. There is something wrong about that. I love the character and toning of vintage coins. Heavily played cards have been well loved. 🤷‍♀️

    I'd pay 96 dollars for that Charizard. It's still in pretty decent condition but I'm also the kind of person who finds that sort of condition nostalgic. It's like a card I could have had in my childhood. Always wanted one but never had one sadly.
