thank you for the comment!, i recently got lucky while doing my daily browse on ebay “new listings”, found it listed for a good price with the option of a best offer. offered a little bit under asking price and in the end i think i got it pretty cheap
I’m the same, but I do also love to get my most prestigious cards in PSA graded as well. My biggest mistake was collecting ungraded 1st Ed Base holo’s too. I can’t justify the price of the Charizard since I already have it in PSA 9. I reckon I’ll end up having 15/16 in Ex-NM and the scuffiest Charizard you can imagine to go in the binder!
This is an awesome collection. I love seeing the collections of other Aussies because I know what the card market is like here. If you don’t mind me asking, where do you normally find your stuff? A lot of those cards don’t appear on eBay Aus very often, so do you get them from overseas or through trades with other serious collectors instead?
thanks sage, i certainly know your pain, I use ebay for 99% of my buys, i have bought items from all over the world, but due to conversion rate, shipping fees and import taxes i mostly have to settle for what gets listed on Ebay Aus, a lot of my rarer items have been snagged within minutes of them being listed, ive just got a good eye and have spent a lot of time trawling ebay
