Help appraising this Crystal Lugia

Hello e4 oracles!

I’m the process of negotiating this exact card and would really appreciate your opinions and valuations. I’m on the fence about the asked price and gave the seller a lower counteroffer. At the same time, this rarely (and I mean RARELY) come up in Brazil.

Cheers!

Quick disclaimer: I don’t want to say the price to not influence any perceptions.

based on these photos only, it looks like a solid binder copy which is around PSA 6-7 (can’t see any holo scratches due to angle)

Looking up the prices it seems like last sold was in like 2023 so take it with a grain of salt :salt:
it sold around the $1000 mark and a PSA 5 sold for about $500 so somewhere between there.

I would assume PSA 5 and would pay less than that

$400-500 is where I’d put it

That looks like a PSA 4-5 due to the backside corner and edgewear, in the ballpark of $350-400 USD is where I’d be.

appreciate all the comments, friends. dude wants 800$, im considering a pass but the fact that is so damn hard to find it here is a big factor as well.

Is the country-specific scarcity that big of a factor? Would likely be able to find cheaper and/or better quality options in the USA and get them shipped to Brazil? I’m not familiar with Brazilian import regulations or shipping reliability though so I may be missing something

From the US? If the package costs more than U$ 50 you’ll most likely be charged 50-60% on top of the original price. From other countries like Canada and Japan it is possible to bypass that by asking the sender to sent the cards through regular mail. Not guaranteed tho. UK too, but the shipping prices of Royal Mail are usually extremely high.
