You have to buy from sellers with 10k+ sales on TCG player; they’re scared to send cards completely trashed because they wanna keep a good rating. Even “damaged” from those sellers are typically pretty solid

Good binder pieces for the most part. I got my base set charizard for about $120 - it's pretty banged up, but it's nice to see in the binder.
@dia818311 ай бұрын
agreed- unless you want to grade a card, if it's an expensive one i'm totally fine buying ones thats creased or scratched if it bumps hundreds of dollars off of the price. i've bought some really nice MP vintage cards off of tcgplayer that look very nice in my binder.

Back in grad school I picked up a base set ‘zard for 20 bucks (circa 2013). Got it graded and it’s a psa 5. I think it gives it charm!
@linda311910 ай бұрын
Agreed. Plus if the damage is mostly on the back of the card, you won't even tell the difference. That's one way to get some rare-ish cards in your collection without breaking the bank lol
@Imaghostgurl9 ай бұрын
I agree. If i want a card for my collection I don't care if it's slightly damaged. I don' have the money to get anything graded. I have a lot of the base set with a few damaged but I'm happy I have them.

I'm pretty much looking forward to you grading those cards. Mainly because I have the Neo Genesis Lugia (First Edition) in my collection, but because I've had it since I was about 7/8 years old, it's not in great shape anymore 🙁 but it's still way better looking than the one you received😅
