WTB loose 1st Ed. Gold Star cards at 65% of sold PSA 10s

Looking to grade said (mint+)cards
(Will update as lower priced cards are purchased)

Prices are based off all sold listing:

Highest priority: (Willing to pay listed value):

Sealed Play Promo Flareon: $500

High Priority:

Torchic/Mudkip/Treecko: $210 each

Latios/Latias: $350 each

Alakazam: $80

Entei/Raikou/Suicune: $170 each

Regirock: $250

So are you looking for 10 worthy cards only?

That’s what I’m going for, every card in my collection I have graded myself and I’m hoping to continue with that

Latios* :wink: Hope you acquire the cards you need!

Thanks, I was listening to the Doom OST while cranking out numbers, and it must’ve slipped past me :joy:

PM’d!

With entei raikou and suicune you might as well pay 200ish each for graded 10s lol

I think your prices could be somewhat reasonable, but the way you phrased it is terrible tbh

If I had 1st ed GS Gem mint cards, why would I sell it at 65% of what I would get, by spending $5-10 more? Especially for cards worth $500+ (Latias/Latios)

I know there is a chance they get a 9, and time and whatnot. I feel even for your own sake, buying mint+ might get you a PSA 9 worthy version in this sense, even though you want a 10…

If I think a GS card will be mint or mint+, I would sell at the same price as PSA 9. Not sure you’ll get many legit sellers for those prices. Those willing to sell you a Latios/Latias for $350 are probably thinking their card is actually a PSA 8.

That’s what what I was going for but unfortunately a lot of the listed cards didn’t sell in 9s

One down!

Sadly I’ve take on the crusade of purchasing all them raw only to grade them and be the first complete Japanese set on Youtube. I’m at 10 at the moment and hope to add a couple more within this year, but thank you

Managed to secure the Mudkip in a 10, the Alakazam didn’t turn out the same.

Will reformat when I get home.

Oh no!! What’s wrong with that Alakazam?

PSA dropped it while grading then creased it when attempting to pick it up. They reimbursed me for the damages but still I don’t know where I’ll find another

Bump; at this point I’ll just pay PSA 10 prices for candidates, will update prices accordingly after work.

Then you are better off just buying psa 10 cards then cracking them open.

Good luck on completing the set! I’m two cards away myself (Regice and Regirock) from the complete PSA 10 1st Ed. Gold Star collection, although admittedly I did not grade any of them myself. From your first post asking for the Play Promo Flareon Gold Star, can I assume you managed to find and grade in PSA 10, the Japanese Gold Star Espeon and Umbreon?

And fortunately I haven’t yet I’m roughly halfway to completing the set, I figured there still some in the woodwork, people just want the most that they can get for it
