Hey all,
Sorry if this is meant to be in the giant market thread but I just wanted to create a specific discussion around base shadowless cards.
With shadowless cards being roughly half the numbers in population on PSA compared to 1st edition is there ever going to be a time that the rarity catches up to 1st price wise?
Few pros for shadowless i see
- Boxes are hard to identify, with the prices of sealed product being so high at the moment are people going to risk opening boxes that may or may not be shadowless.
- No one cared or even knew about the differences of shadowless to regular unlimited when boxes were being opened regularly leading to less care being taken to preserve the cards.
- unsubstantiated rumours that they were actually the 1st print run with the 1st edition stamp just being added after
Cons
- No 1st edition stamp
- outside investors will always go for 1st edition as thats the safe bet
- Some people still don’t even know what shadowless is.
Dont get me wrong I love collecting 1st edition cards and only have a few cards left to get in a 10 to complete my set but I am having alot more fun and difficulty chasing down shadowless cards already graded or in gradable condition.
What are everyone’s thoughts around shadowless cards
