📉💀A Grading Nightmare 📉💀 ​Imagine dropping $30,000 on a pristine 1999 Pokémon Base Set Booster Box, ripping it fresh from the packs, sending the vintage holo hits straight to PSA, and getting smacked with a wave of PSA 6s and 7s! 😭💸 ​Talk about a complete PSA Graded Pokemon Booster Box Disaster. Ripping vintage is already a massive gamble, but when pack-fresh hits come back valuing at a fraction of the cost—like a Blastoise Holo pulling a PSA 6 worth $140.50 or a Raichu Holo getting a PSA 6 worth $38.15—it is a brutal financial hit. ​Check out the viral breakdown from @meesterkeem showing the absolute destruction of a $30k box return. It begs the question: ​1️⃣ Did PSA do him dirty? Pack-fresh doesn't always mean a 10 (print lines, factory scratches, and centering issues from 1999 are real), but straight 6s on clean pulls feels incredibly harsh. 2️⃣ Should he crack and regrade? Or send them over to BGS/CGC to see if they get fairer treatment? 3️⃣ Do people still trust PSA for vintage? Or are the pop-control rumors starting to feel a little too real? ​Drop your thoughts below. 👇 Would you crack and resubmit, or is this just the harsh reality of vintage factory condition? #pokemon #pokémontcg #psagraded

Fucking crazy the Cooper rookie patch card sells for 8 million but the rookie jersey, the patch came from, sells for only 1 million lol

🚨 HISTORY HAS BEEN MADE! 🚨 ​The "Honus Wagner" of video games just shattered the all-time public auction record, realizing a mind-blowing $3,000,000 at Heritage Auctions! 🔨💰 ​What you are seeing is the single most significant video game collectible in existence: a factory-sealed, 1985 early test-market Gloss Sticker variant of Super Mario Bros. for the NES. ​Graded an astonishing, near-flawless PSA 9.6 A++, this holy grail was recently discovered completely untouched, sitting perfectly preserved inside a brand-new, original Control Deck console bundle for nearly 40 years! ​Why is this copy a multi-million dollar masterpiece? 🔹 The Variant: Adopted during Nintendo’s legendary early-1986 West Coast and midwest expansion test markets, it is one of only three known sealed gloss sticker copies in the entire world. 🔹 The Scarcity: This variant had never appeared at public auction in sealed condition until now—and this specific copy is the single finest example of the three. 🔹 The Grade: A monumental PSA 9.6 with an A++ seal rating, cementing it as the undisputed pinnacle of video game preservation. ​From a retail shelf in 1986 to a $3 million dollar piece of history today. The vintage media market continues to reach unbelievable new heights. 🎮✨ ​What classic game from your childhood do you wish you kept sealed in the box?

Gengar Gate keeps on getting better! #jasonpaige #pokemon #

The Vendor explains the card is potentially a PSA 1 which increase the value to $150 when that damaged. The video is from @boostersandbangers youtube channel. The full video is there. #jasonpaige #pokemonㅤㅤㅤ

Vendor admits the Jason Paige Gengar is the same one after yesterday saying it wasnt. Shockingly in the video he says the Gengar was so damaged it was worth mucn more than $150 even though Jason Paige showed that conditions sells for $75 or less. Thoughts?

Gengar GATE keeps getting wilder! @pokemontenlv_ has a video showing the two Gengar's have similar Holo patterns in some angles. This is important because it shows the vendor gave the kids an under $75 trade instead of a $150 trade they were told they were getting. It also could show Jason gave them a fair or better trade then the Gengar. What do you think? Gengar photos are from @pokemontenlv_ #jasonpaige #pokemon

JASON PAIGE's GENGAR 😅🤣This is diabolical from @unboundcards #jasonpaige

The Vendor @boostersandbangers is claiming Jason Paige's Gengar is not the same one from the viral video. @boostersandbangers says he is going to make a video about it tomorrow! #jasonpaige
