Minis finally getting some love

Notable sale

PSA 10 Mini A&G Back - March 11, 2021 - 750

What it seems like to me is the PSA 10's are flying out the door for the non super rare ones.

+1 . PSA will be elite brand even more so.  They are trying to rebrand by saying even a  lower grade PSA is still PSA.

Yes, this.  PSA continues its rule.  Way better sales on PSA-graded cards over BGS.  Anyone looking to get cards graded, I highly recommend using PSA instead.  The turnaround is a bore, but it's worth it.

Keep in mind if you want your card graded you are going to need patience and a lot of money for PSA.  Plan on a minimum of 300.00 per card plus insurance and shipping.  Also you will need to be somewhat patient.  I sent some in and what I found creates the most stress is the feeling they have so many cards there for sure yours will get lost.

You obviously have some high-end ones at 300. We'll be on the lookout.  100 is minimum for individual ones

The high end ones run from 1000 to 10,000 to have graded.  To have a reasonable turnaround time you have to pay 300.00 but, I agree there is a 100.00 available service.

I have some cards that I'm picking up today. The 1 that mattered the most was a Glowie, that got a 10. As far as I'm concerned, it's worth the wait. Like playing the lottery...but with better odds.

Awesome news.  Man. it takes so long but like you said. if it results in a 10, well worth it.  We may have our first six-figure item.  2018 was the last year of the glow-in-the-dark which gives it a special meaning in A&G history.  Also, only about 8 ever made!

Still plenty of rare ones left happy hunting

I'm pretty sure there are still no#'s, brooklyn backs, and maybe a few glowies that can still be found in the wild, not many though,  maybe a few x black mini's but, doubtful a PSA 10.  I gave up on the silver mini as it is too expensive to look for it.

At this point in the game, the legadary status of the 83 Cryptocurrency card is sealed.  The packs, boxes and cases are cost prohibitive for a reasonable return.  Hobby boxes were 250 a couple weeks ago,  now 400. X boxes 3kish

have a peek... the plastic sleeve is static, picks up everything

have a peek... the plastic sleeve is static, picks up everything     had this solar powered card charging in the sun, will see this evening if she's a brite little star  

She's a beauty for sure. Doesn't get much more tare than that.

[dolphriends]

At the moment PSA 10 is the name of the game.  Prices over the 10K range have been rare and only for a super rare card.  The PSA 10 x black mini that is in the 50k range is certainly super rare but, will be a tough sell in that price range.  The price range of 500 to 3k is where most will land in my opinion.

WOW

I don't know how much the glow in the dark will bring but, should be quite a lot.  It's one of the rarest there is.

[dolphriends]

It's seems a little too early for the high end cards. 

[Mrstacy]

It's seems a little too early for the high end cards. 

i thought 2k for a card was a little much, but then a mini red sold for over 75k.  i'd be curious to chart the rise of magic gathering to our card.  Those are up to 400k.  i sense we are ahead, of where they were at this point.  2 1/2 years in.

[Fattcatt]

All kinds of other cards that the owners are asking a mint for. We are a really really new "collectable's" venue....just give it 5 or 10 years...type in PSA POKEMON then set the filter to SHIPPING/PRICE HIGHEST....you'll see what's coming our way in time

Ha.yep for sure. but for us noobs (like me) it is helpful to have a reference point.

PSA 10's are the name of the game at the moment.  Just my opinion but, I think the "10" is going to be difficult to get going forward unless the card is virtually flawless.  This would be equal to the Beckett black label 10, all subsets are graded a 10.  Just my humble opinion for now.
I think a black border or gold border psa 10 is going to be the hot items for awhile.
