Ebay’s New Card Condition Requirements

Too often we see cards on Ebay stating mint-near mint and clearly the card has whitening all around the edges and splashed with a bit of diet coke.

This new system hopes to remedy the few people with eye problems who want to sell their cards.

If I sound salty, it might be because I bought NM cards from Ebay only to discover they were anything but near mint.

Each evaluation has its own description on the condition of the card to hopefully clarify to the seller what each condition means, rather than just slapping NM on every card.

I don’t trust this will fix every problem, but it will help some.

Trainer Tuesday

Hex Maniac from XY Ancient Origins 2015.

75a/98 Illus. You Iribi

This card is part of a collection box called XY Premium Trainer’s Collection.

In the previous newsletter, this card was averaging $53USD.

And now, almost 3 months later with the heavy waifu tax:

Up and up! This is a 143% increase.

Over the past 12 months:

Imagine predicting that waifu cards would increase in value.

And then explaining it to people.

Those waifu savvy people are laughing now.

That’s a wrap!

I hope you enjoyed the 78th edition.
