>>49458902>>49458915You don't understand the problem. The difficulty in finding a neo umbreon or a pristine yanma RAW is next to nothing. And the people that do own them aren't selling them.
It's like wondering why you only see PSA9 sales and so few PSA10 sales. People don't want to sell their 10s, and people don't want to sell their cards that they think can grade 10s.
Here are two examples of Neo Umbreon 1st edition.
>Pic related is from TCGp. Their market value lists it at 700. The only sale of a 1st ed nm card, which was listed without fucking photos, was sold for $700USD. I don't often trust TCGp market value -- but usually in that it's often below the nm price of a card. So if I'm to trust that again, a true nm 1st Neo Umbreon would be close to $1000.>This link (https://www.ebay.ca/itm/384445793400?hash=item5982c14478:g:Z5EAAOSwuHthSwHI) is to an Ebay auction for a "nm" 1st Umbreon. Look at the price they paid. And then look at the shitty condition it was in. Look at that back. An actual nm version of the card, or even just a card without that much whitening would easily fetch over 750. I would consider this card LP-/MP at best.Finding skyridge holos, or 1st ed cards in a near mint condition is extremely rare. And when we say "near mint" we're obviously referring to getting a grade that is 9 or above, not the psa/cgc standard for nm which is 7/6.
