I’ve got a bunch of slabs that should be essentially worthless yet somehow people still seem to buy them even in 2024. Personally I think we are running up against a wall with how many junk slabs are filling the market and I don’t want to be stuck holding things that are worth $1 each one day so I want to just dump them at some liquid price. What options are available? Not looking to do any mystery product btw
TT buys them 8$ each
Where did you get these junk slabs?
facebook. Buyers paying $9-12 for any PSA slab and $7-8 for CGC. Maybe a little more if 10s

I graded them myself. They owe me nothing because they were graded alongside other junk slabs that were sold at dumb prices since 2020
I should mention a lot are CGC. We are talking about real junk here
Crap, my bad. $1 each it is
I’m also considering just dumping them on a pwcc block. Any thoughts there?
Heres a taste of the junk
Do you have a link for where people are buying slabs at those prices? FB is a bit generic, anything specific would help.
sign them, authentic PFM signature goes for thousands on the black market these days
Can’t harm the value by saturating the market then !
That’s a cute pika. Real value there!
Surely someone will pay $20 for the rookie larvitar
Pop them in the CGC vending machine
In the past Ive paid $5 for any junk slabs. I give them away in by including them in baskets I make for local charity raffles. Kids love winning them, parents love participating in charity, the charity loves getting extra money. I also send them with birthday gifts to any kids in the family or friends families who are into pokemon.
I do this with bulk as well and try to keep my local area stocked (library programs, youth center, a few local teachers, little free libraries, local festivals, etc).
Of course its all a financial loss for me but I try to trade product I got at a deal so its not too big a loss and it helps me feel better about my place in the world. You cant imagine the way it makes a kids day to get pokemon stuff… well you are all here so you probably can.
So yeah, thats my way but its dumb since it doesnt make money. Probably best way is ebay auction lots, 1-2 cool pokemon and 5 junk ones for $75-100. Also if you have any mareeps in junky grades I might know a guy.
I’m sure there are WhatNot/Drip streamers in Toronto that would buy them for $5/slab.
Between PWCC and Z&G, I think Z&G is the best option for junk slabs.
If you go with PWCC, I think you’ll pay $3 fee for each card that sells for <$15 after the buyer’s premium and you’ll get 0% of the buyer’s premium. However, you will also pay $3 for storage of cards valued at <$50.
If you went with Z&G, they’ll take $5 for every card that sells for under $100 and then you’ll get 86%.
So as an example, a card that sells for $10 on eBay (Z&G) would net you $4.30. The same card would sell for $8.34 before the premium on PWCC and you’d get $2.34 because of the $3 selling fee and $3 storage fee. I think that’s right but someone can double check.
I try to stay very far away from junk slabs.
Auction starting at $0.01 and have buyer pay shipping, or if it’s actually hundreds and too much effort to list, sell as a lot “PSA Graded Pokemon Collection,” same style auction.
