        Honestly its great to hear another collector say that. we seem to be so stuck on 10 in the hobby. i get it for a resell value.

    This one is a little different. 1999 Pokémon Base Set Pack PSA 8. Feels like yesterday I was opening these for $5 as a kid! I went through a kick where I was buying vintage Pokémon packs and grading them. I love the fact that it protects the pack, verifies its real/not resealed and makes it easy to display.

      man i wonder anyone who has a graded pack how many have been tempted to crack it open and rip.. have you ever though it or proudly keeping it slabbed for eternity?

        lol. Seriously though, what’s to stop them from opening it, taking the cards, replacing them with bulk, resealing and then “verifying” it and slabbing it? Sure, somebody might eventually give in to temptation and crack and rip it, but I had to wonder.

            Wouldn’t it? I’m about 100% sure they’d get busted for it at some point for sure cause there will be someone who cracks and rips a pack or two. I know I’ve seen videos where that’s happened. But the percentage of packs that get cracked and ripped has to be pretty small. What if it was just one rogue grader who just did a few packs here and there?

            imagine they rip it then reseal but with no thoight of someone cracking the slab to rip the pack

      I really think this is going to be a space in the hobby that starts to grow rapidly in the near future. Slabbed packs of iconic sets and signed packs are going to really take off soon, imo.

    I’m pretty sure there’s NO way I could have a pack for that long and not open it. No way. Just seeing it in plastic makes gives me the heebie jeebies. Whew I admire your self restraint!! It looks great but everything in me says “OPEN THAT PACK!!!” 🤣

        *I* can’t even make myself wait until the next day to rip a pack if I have it. Wait for DECADES?? I’d have to completely misplace the pack the same day I got it!

      I just know that ripping it and not getting a holo would be a huge loss! Plus, I have 3 base set Charizards so id rather just have the pack for my collection.

    Peyton is one of my favorite players of all time. I bought this card raw and sent it to be graded myself. This is a PC card and one that I think will continue to go up based on who it is and that its a Pop 76 with a 12% gem rate. In the last 8 months or so its gone from about $500 to about $1000. Nothing better than a nice PC card that continues to go up in value.

      Beautiful card, Mike! I was just looking through my Peyton cards last night and found the base copy. Really nice movement in his market lately. I picked up a PSA 10 of his UD3 #91 RC. Was shocked to find it’s only a Pop 9!

    Most of the cards that I have shared have been ones that I have owned for years. This one just came in the mail yesterday and I just had to post it. As soon as I saw this existed, I knew I had to have it. It took a few months for one to pop up but I finally found one. The GOAT of childhood books….R.L Stine!
