GameStop Posts First Graded Pokemon Cards for Sale: Most Are Fair Prices, But Some Double

[Water Pokémon Master]

GameStop.com has started to sell some of the graded cards it purchased from customers! They will ship out on May 24th.
As of this posting there are only 36 Pokemon cards available for purchase. In the coming weeks many more will be added as stores ship them to GameStop’s headquarters for processing.

Are the prices worth it? It seems you will find every possible scenario.
Most cards are available for around fair market value, some at a discount, and some for wildly more than they should ever cost. I have gathered price data from recent auctions for comparison:

Some of these price jumps make a little bit of sense from a business trying to milk it’s customers dry POV but some of them are weird - like where can I buy that under valued Lucario RN?? *shrug*

I noticed Leonhart made a video about this and the thumbnail was goofy asf. It looked like he was trying to sell Gamestop a graded Moonbreon and the guy would only offer $10 store credit. Like does Lee not even come to this site to see that Gamestop would not buy graded cards over $500? I guess what ever gets the viewers pulled in

Did you watch the video? It's a Cynthia's Ambition on the thumbnail, and yes, he got about $3 for it.

Gamestop is now scamming graded cards (I'd rather spend 60 cents on old sports games.)

I wonder if you could still sell them a Moonbreon for $500? Obviously it’s not a good idea, but I’m just thinking rhetorically.

Are graded cards themselves not already the real scam here though?

That is true. Why grade a card that will never get used (literally a children's card game.)
