🚨 STOP CHASING PSA 10s. 👀
If I had $500–$2,000 to spend on ONE Pokémon card, I wouldn’t automatically buy the highest grade.
Sometimes I’d rather own an ICONIC card in PSA 7, PSA 9, or a clean RAW copy than pay thousands more just for that GEM MINT 10 label. 💎
Here are 5 cards I’m watching:
5️⃣ Poncho-Wearing Pikachu #203/XY-P — RAW ⚡
🎯 Buy Zone: $400–$475
4️⃣ Poncho-Wearing Pikachu #038/SM-P — RAW / PSA 9
🎯 RAW: $700–$800
🎯 PSA 9: $1,100–$1,250
3️⃣ Poncho-Wearing Pikachu #203/XY-P — PSA 9
🎯 Buy Zone: $1,000–$1,100
2️⃣ Munch Psyduck #286/SM-P — RAW 🎨
🎯 Clean RAW: $1,400–$1,600
🥇 Munch Psyduck #286/SM-P — PSA 7
🎯 Buy Zone: $1,350–$1,500
Same Psyduck.
Same legendary Munch artwork.
Same iconic card.
🔥 WITHOUT PAYING THE PSA 10 PREMIUM.
For me, the lesson is simple:
BUY THE CARD — NOT JUST THE NUMBER ON THE SLAB.
💵 You have $2,000 CASH and can choose ONE:
💎 PSA 10 modern chase
OR
🏆 PSA 7–9 iconic grail
👇 Which one are you taking?
Tag a collector who would choose the PSA 10. 😂
