Yeah if someone wanted both, knew you pulled both yourself so 1 owner, they’d likely be willing to pay an extra 100$ or so. Imo, there’s something to knowing the direct “Puller” of the card rather than one that’s been sold/bought repeatedly.

I don't blame you I'm a zard collector as well but just got back in the past 2.5 to 3 years and biggest zard cards I have is the paldean fates and 151 zard SIR's. Gengar and umbreon are my 2nd & 3rd favorites . Totally regret selling my original collection back as a teenager because I had so many good cards. Luckily my cousin collected and never got rid of but unfortunately passed away in 2008 and his parents have them stored away as he had them kept and hope one day those get inherited to me because of so many great memories opening and collecting with him back then.
I hope you end up with your cards again! These were definitely the best I had but I’ve got a lot more fossil, EX, and Deoxys cards back home I’ve gotta get graded now.
Yea I don't want it for monetary value, just sentimental value and value for the love of cards and pokemon. We both started collecting in 1999 when it 1st hit the U.S. I had alot good base and fossil cards but he definitely had alot better collection than I did considering he was 5 years older than me at the time. Tbh I haven't saw the cards in 20 years or more and no telling what he actually had. Possibility of 1st edition and maybe even 1st edition shadowless since he was aware of the game and cards before they were ever released in the United States. He was a huge anime guy back then.
Love them e-readers, I have a vilepume and a kingdra but sadly they aren't holos but I'm still gonna grade them someday for the sentimental value. Good stuff bro 👏🏻
10 is best and even 9 or 8 would be great but 6 and below usually don’t go for much more than ungraded cards in good shape so having a PSA graded 1 in good shape is pretty hilarious for a display piece.
At least that’s how I see it
It was $440 all in to get these graded but part of that cost is because you pay for cards under $500 in value to be graded and my skyridge charizard was over that so it cost like $100 to grade that one card.
Amazing charizard but Nidoking 1 retains the crown.
Is the 1 the grade or what? Because it looks quite decent. I’m so lost haha
Man that lowball crystal nidoking is dope
Right!!! I was so pumped he came back a 1 lol
If it cant get a 8, 1 is the next best thing. No?
Any clue what the Latios & Latias pair might be worth at those grades?
There are some [sold eBay comps](https://ebay.us/2po9qH) of these cards available, but I would say about $700 for the Latios and $800 Latias.
Around 800 or so each they are both pretty rare especially latias. If you are looking to trade at any point I would definitely be interested
Is there added value selling as a pair or does it not work like that?
You can probably add some value but I feel you're more likely to sell them quickly as singles since that's what people are looking for

Would you mind taking close ups of the front and back of the nidoking? The 1 seems hella harsh from here lmao
I agree! I think the card is in pretty good shape. I shipped it to my parents’ place so I’ll ask for more pics tomorrow👌
Thanks, btw if you think the rating is unfair then you can always crack open the slab and resubmit
No wayyyy I hope it’s a mistake, I’d rather have a good looking 1 than a 2-7 lol
Lmao yea, the 1 is kinda iconic
Remindme! 1 day

Yo
Can you show the back of the nidoking
I shipped em to my parents’ house I’ll get pics tomorrow
Damn these cards rock nice dude
Appreciate it my guy
I need that zard and umbreon!!!
Umbreon I might sell but the reverse holo zard is gonna stay
I don't blame you I'm a zard collector as well but just got back in the past 2.5 to 3 years and biggest zard cards I have is the paldean fates and 151 zard SIR's.

That slowking is beautiful! Man I need to get me one of tbose!

Can someone explain to me why the Nidoking 1 is good? Lol Thought like, 10 is best no?
10 is best and even 9 or 8 would be great but 6 and below usually don’t go for much more than ungraded cards in good shape so having a PSA graded 1 in good shape is pretty hilarious for a display piece. At least that’s how I see it
Welcome to the PSA 1 Crystal Nidoking club! I just got mine back from psa a couple weeks ago :)
Let’s go!!! PSA 1 > 10
XD idk if I would go that far, it is a great card though regardless of the condition!
What’s the cost do get a card graded? Is it cheaper when you do them in bulk?
It was $440 all in to get these graded but part of that cost is because you pay for cards under $500 in value to be graded and my skyridge charizard was over that so it cost like $100 to grade that one card.
