    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

    • @jayn9446
      @jayn9446 Před 2 měsíci +14

      You are right, cause I am one of those sellers 😂

    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.

    • @dia8183
      @dia8183 Před 3 měsíci +5

      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.

    • @DrDadPhD_13
      @DrDadPhD_13 Před 3 měsíci +3

      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!

    • @linda3119
      @linda3119 Před 2 měsíci +1

      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

    • @jade61l
      @jade61l Před měsícem

      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.

  • @cloudarya90
    @cloudarya90 Před 3 měsíci +14

    this is how my entire childhood collection looks like

  • @ShoeFixers
    @ShoeFixers Před 3 měsíci +3

    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😅

  • @zachstoneburner7041
    @zachstoneburner7041 Před 3 měsíci +1

    My fiance and I were going through her old cards and found a gold star mew in pretty great condition. The fact that it was still $200+ with that kind of damage is wild

  • @michaellashock9769
    @michaellashock9769 Před 3 měsíci +13

    I’ve been wondering what it would look like buying damaged cards from tcgplayer. I don’t wanna get a massive fold in the card and pay double digits for it.

  • @Mees.J
    @Mees.J Před 3 měsíci +26

    I would still love to have that base Charizard

    • @jenshoffmann8035

    Looking at the gyarados made me realize how reminiscent lugia v alt art art is to it, pretty cool to think about

  • @Chip-Machamp

  • @shelbycornell9482
    @shelbycornell9482 Před 3 měsíci +8

    I have that Umbreon and it came back as an 8. Was really hoping for a 9 😢

    • @ojoelol
      @ojoelol Před 3 měsíci

      If you think it has potential for a 9 you can try resending it in or using another grading company 😄

  • @robrosen3162
    @robrosen3162 Před 3 měsíci +13

    I mean, PSA 1 cards are definitely collectible in their own right! PSA 2s on the other hand…

    • @SuperMattman88
      @SuperMattman88 Před 3 měsíci

      In the realm of looks 1’s are as rare as 10’s.

    • @cliffvoelker9276
      @cliffvoelker9276 Před 3 měsíci +2

      Any card can become a 1, not every card can be a 10. 1 collectors are weird asf

  • @corinthiarobbins2990
    @corinthiarobbins2990 Před 3 měsíci +1

    These are the kind of cards I want to send in to grade. I collect what I like to call “well loved” cards and my dream is to have a collection of cards with grade 1s.

  • @sreyamagan8070

    These cards are actually great for people who wanna put the cards in binders, for example, to complete a vintage set

  • @Kumosss
    @Kumosss Před 2 měsíci

    Even though most of these cards were in really bad condition, it's still great to have such beautiful cards in your collection. Only the torn back of the card hurt me a lot.

  • @madslikescardboard
    @madslikescardboard Před 3 měsíci

    Rev, you may not see this comment but I want to give you some feedback.
    This video is the exact definition of OG Rev. I can tell you’re just hanging out with us viewers (authentic), putting yourself in our shoes (relatable), and having a fun time doing what you’re doing (enjoyable to watch).
    This isn’t me dogging on your modern day stuff; you know we enjoy it. It’s just refreshing to see you remaining consistent through the growth and not getting lost in the sauce.

  • @blackkyurem9813
    @blackkyurem9813 Před 2 měsíci

    I can understand the pain of having beat up cards but i feel like that’s what makes a card vintage and worth its value even if it’s not worth anything price wise. It just feels legit and it’s hard to keep super old cards in good condition anyway

  • @peppe1633
    @peppe1633 Před měsícem

    3:49 Still so good. The artwork seems immaculate, maybe some scratches

  • @hals_collects
    @hals_collects Před 2 měsíci

    Fun video idea Rev! Doing more of these would be cool! Like buying the highest priced heavily played or Mod played cards & grading them & comparing prices! Cool cool🤓

  • @jonathianwitt2863

  • @cameronstarnes1193

  • @AliceinSilverland
    @AliceinSilverland Před 2 měsíci

    I just dont understand why condition is SO important for pricing a card. I mean a swing from from $23 to $2300 just based on condition. There is something wrong about that. I love the character and toning of vintage coins. Heavily played cards have been well loved. 🤷‍♀️
