Hey everyone, this is going to be the megathread for smpratte consignments! The intention is to share auctions, as most are fellow E4 members cards. This is basically the closest thing to a sales section on E4. Members are allowed to post their items, just try not to be too spammy.
Sure, Added exposure. Your cards are featured in the “smpratte collection” filter, and most cards are shown in a video on my channel. The fees are more flexible vs when I was doing consignment via eBay. So the cost could be close or the same submitting directly but with added exposure.
Im a noob with selling, what level of cards are worth consigning like this? Is it primarily for cards valued above several thousand? Does it not matter and whatever you get is fine?
Anyone can message me with a list whenever! With pwcc I’m am able to be more flexible on what I can process. For example, on eBay I was more limited with sealed product and value requirements where now both are more flexible!
I’ve had these for years. Originally when I started putting together a 1st ed base set in ~2013, I went for PSA 8. I originally bought the three PSA 8 here as part of that deal with Gary. Technically the first PSA cards I’ve ever owned!
Some are spares from my P promo set. I pulled two of the Pikachu and graded it myself! There are two Shining Imakuni up on auction (I forget which one mine is ). The Espeon was from a VS movie deck I cracked. The two skyridge cards were part of a complete holo graded set I bought a couple years back for only about 2k!
I had an SM-P binder set going in 2018. It was fun to pick up promos as they were coming out. At a certain point, it just made more sense to get a lot of the stuff in that binder graded and consolidate that money into something else I wanted more. I think all of these below were actually CGC 9/9.5s at one point (before the grading scale change). They were all easy PSA 10s as clearly demonstrated. They are part of this thread CGC to PSA Cross-Grading Result
The Festa in particular was one of the highest graded CGC cards I’ve ever submitted so you can rest assured on the condition there. Fortunately, I just never sold it for years and now it’s definitely in the modern hype category. I have a feeling this is one of those cards I’ll regret selling in 3 years but since I only paid $60 for it, it really owes me nothing. The Friendly Shop sets I think fall under the radar for a lot of people, but they are really nice little contained sets Promo Showcase – Pokemon Friendly Shop Campaign . I have duplicates of these so I’m happy to let them go.
Red’s Pikachu needs no explanation. The 224/SM-P is one of my favorite cards of all time. I was fortunate enough to get one signed by Himeno when she came to America. I bought 70ish copies back when they were new from an Ebay listing ($2 each). Easily one of my best purchases of all time. They were virtually all gem mint and were selling as high as $250 each during 2021. The star holo and background colour on it are so nice.
Yes I split fees with pwcc. Which depend on value.
Cards are shipped to me for the video and logging everything. Afterwards pwcc provides an insured label. Then I sync up the video a few days before the items end!
Yes most cards are shown in the video. The exception would be high quantity lower value items.
Anyone can message me a list whenever or if you have any other questions!
Also how @pfm is posting is how I planned to post listings in this thread.
