Are the values on this app really accurate?

I’ve got a ton of these radiant collection pikachu’s from when I used to collect awhile ago, when I unpacked them they weren’t worth a whole lot, and now they’re worth like $80 a pop??

Just started collecting last month

Stopped collecting 25 years ago, just getting back into it. Most of these I’ve pulled from packs, when I can find any 😭

Started 2 1/2 Years ago, raw singles only :)

I don’t buy any graded stuff to keep graded, sometimes I buy non 10s at cheaper prices to just crack em and throw em in my binder. I’ve always had some cards from when I was a kid so any of the older/vintage stuff is from my childhood (i’m 22 now). Just kinda wanted to post here cause I don’t really have a lot of people I can converse and share this stuff with tbh. Wanted to post and hopefully people leave some pics of their stuff or you’re fav card, I love seeing what other people collect :) Hope anyone who see this is doing well and thanks for commenting if you do! (I also NEVER keep stuff sealed)

Collectr Help

Is there a simple way on the app to add cards that are ripped from a pack? Or do people generally just add the pack value to the card as a purchase price?

I ripped Cynthia's Garchomp from one of 10 Destined Rivals packs i had. They were £39.90 at MSRP so i used that as the purchase price, but conscious it could show up as a really low sale.

Similar question, is there a way to 'upgrade' a raw card to a graded card if you have graded it yourself? I usually 'sell' the raw card at the same cost I paid, and then state the graded card purchase cost as the raw + grading fee, but again, it makes it look like a really low sale.

I want to track accurate buy/sold data on the app and have an accurate record of profit/losses. Any suggestions welcome!

I bought cool cards before the big boom 🐉

Found my childhood collection in 2019 and got back into the hobby since. Purchased or traded for a lot of the other cards I always wanted when I was a kid over the last few years before the big boom (a lot of them PSA 10s). Rate my collection and guess my favorite pokemon 🐉

Advice for Selling Large Vintage Collection

I'm still working through my full collection, and working through getting a bunch of the higher end cards graded, but I'm looking to sell my childhood collection in the near future. Pretty much everything in it is vintage, 2012 and earlier, all singles with no sealed. I expect the total value to jump once I get graded results back. Does anyone know buyers for large collections who would buy as a whole for fair value? I'll piece it out and sell individually or in chunks, but would love to sell all of it to one buyer.

What would be the best way to sell?

Looking to sell my collection to buy a couple watches. I’ve been enjoying playing the TCG more than collecting.

It’s a mix of pokemon center etbs, slabs and singles that I think any pokemon “investor” would be foaming out the mouth to buy. Should I split up the sealed from the slabs and singles or try to sell it all to one person. What would be a reasonable % to take?

Gotta love when those recent eBay sales get added and the portfolio updates

Best feeling seeing some cards finally getting some recognition in terms of sales and value

How can I liquidate this within the next few months? Consignment?

If someone offered me 50k bank transfer or cash I would probably take it. But I was hoping for like 55k.

Any info would be awesome!

Looking to hopefully be able to unload my collection. As badly as I do not want to, I may have to. Any info on who? where? Obviously not looking to get full price but any insight would be awesome. Thanks guys!

Portfolio Review

Some insight in my portfolio. I have been buying pretty heavily and got a lot of ascended heroes in stores.

I‘m pretty new to the hobby so i would love some advice.

-The raw cards i want to get graded (i think these are my best pulls so i want to give it a shot🤣

-The ascended Heroes i‘m unsure if i should hold, in my head with the celebrations set coning later this year surely hype will die down for ascended heroes?

-Prismatic Display a good hold into OOP status?

-BB&WF seem pretty damn undervalued in my eyes.

-Fusion stike I got because i think SWSH is next up.

-And i‘m not too keen on my pikachu & mimikyu promo

For the people much more Knowledgeable than me… what would be your next move? I‘m in no need for liquidity or whatever. But just wondering if i should look into selling something, buying more of something else etc because i really enjoy the process.

Thank you for your input

Best way to sell 26.5k CAD in one shot around the greater Toronto area?

Guessing around 70% would be nice for cash

Bunch of other stuff but you get the idea. Mostly sealed Pokémon, OP, and the two SB DB fusion world bbs

Singles are mostly 151 master set and then some random cards

Thanks for any ideas!
