Hey everybody,
I would like to add the following card(s) to my collection. Card name and offers are listed below. Payment made through Paypal. I am located in the U.S. as well 
**1st Edition Base Set Mewtwo, PSA 9 - $6,500
1st Edition Base Set Raichu, PSA 9 - $4,000**
Please let me know if you or someone you know has either of these cards and would be open to parting with it. Thanks!
Great offer… I’m shocked there are no bites.
I’m not.
This is an unreal jump. I picked it up for 400 bucks in late January. It’s a collection staple though, which I’m sure so many others are saying too. I wish you good luck finding a seller!
Agreed. I’ve always thought Mewtwo should be up there closer to the upper-echelon of the base holos. Dude was an animal in the games.
dang, solid, but didn’t someone say that a few alakazams sold for 8-10k each? i think mewtwo has historically been a bit more, but good luck! this is a tough market for buyers/true collectors.
Thanks! Yeah, they sold a few days ago. There was a PSA 9 Mewtwo that sold for $5K on eBay yesterday that I missed out on by minutes 
. I’m hoping to get one at least close to that range before I start looking at 8’s.
@gengarguy , 2 new listings for a PSA 9 1st edition Base Mewtwo popped up.
Yikes, $3k jump in one day. Might as well look for PSA 7-8 quickly
Welp, it looks the PSA 9 thick stamp Mewtwo I had just posted sold almost instantly at the full buy it now price ($8k).
The other Mewtwo that was listed is our own @subf 's. So consider reaching out to him about his.
Raichu has been acquired. Still looking for a mewtwo!
There’s an eBay auction for one ending tomorrow. I think it was a short auction so you may have some better luck with price on this one
Just want to let you know that copy is actually very weak. The back looks like a 6-7 at best. Just a heads up.
Oh wow, I just noticed that. Yeah, looks like a 7 at best assuming there are no surface scratches.
Yeah, I have that one on my watch list. I’m hesitant to bid with how rough those back edges are, I have psa 7’s that are cleaner than that one 
. I messaged the seller for some better photos, but as of now I’m holding back as I would honestly prefer a PSA 8 to a really weak 9. Either way, I appreciate everyone keeping an eye out for me!
@gengarguy yeah I mean I have some 10s that have some whitening or a tiny holo scratch or something that may have been missed by a grader and I’m ok with it because I just really wanted a 10 of the card and I understand that lots of 10s have flaws and there is variance within the grading process. All that being said, this is a blatant misgrade of several grades and the fact that it’s already over $4k means a lot of people are just buying the grade and not the card. If I was you, I’d definitely pay a premium for a copy that actually looks like a 9.
If you prefer the card over the grade, I have an 8.5 (pics on my eBay) that looks much better than the one referenced on auction.
Both cards have been located! Mods can now lock this thread (I will make a new thread for my next wants)
