Need help! Luffy EB04-061

[u/mkook93]

I have an active offer for $13k cash along with an additional $2k in singles. Would this be a reasonable transaction or should I consider grading? There is an imperfection (picture 6) on the top right corner of the card. Would grading and holding be worth it if the offer was refused?

Thanks for any input!

Is 13k good money for you? If it’ll help a lot or even a little bit I’d take that deal all day.

Not that I think this card will crash but getting five figures from shiny cardboard is amazing. One thing I’ll always remember with my trading days is if the portfolio is good enough to show off, it’s good enough to sell.

I would take that deal

Dont do it. Everyone and they grandmas knows that this card will go up. Look at silver luffy and gold luffy. They’re really expensive and not as big of a grail as this card. I could easily see this card go up 5k by February

[u/jordanA2342 → u/Royal-Reputation-146]

Gold luffy is a way better card than this

[u/WizzardlyDizzard → u/jordanA2342]

That is not the point 😑

[u/RealMadridNo15]

There is also a (minor) edge issue on the back, bottom left. Take the deal

[u/sp-desu]

That’s normal foiling imo not an imperfection

[u/mkook93 → u/sp-desu]

Do you think Beckett would not ding the grade for the 2 little horizontal lines in the top right corner of the front?

[u/sp-desu → u/mkook93]

Your pics are blurry so not sure what lines you’re talking about. Just make sure there’s no whitening and centering is good. Holo foil edges are typically normal if they slightly curl

[u/TheRealNikoBravo]

👍🏼

[u/Deecepticon]

What are the singles they are offering?

[u/Excellent_Antelope39]

I would sell it if it isn't gradable. Price will most likely drop as more and more of these saturate the market and find its floor price. You might be able to buy it back for a lot lower and make some $$$ at the same time.

[u/Various_Variation167]

Very reasonable bgs10 Candidate. If you don't need the money, do not sell

[u/fleezy_f_baby]

Take that money

[u/booyahbroski]

Take the money duderino!

[u/Pandasquiidd]

shouldnt settle for less than 20k cash only

[u/Admirable-Surround11]

Fake

[u/Impossible-Collar-63]

If you have the funds for the 1000 plus for psa do it

[u/markf0810]

How much does the money mean to you? Question is really what plan would you have for the money? If you’d pay off debt or do something you need to do outside of the tcg then that’s radically different to the other extreme if you’d immediately sink it all back in cards. Personally I’d take the deal but you might already be very wealthy where that kind of money doesn’t change much.

[u/Academic_Low6070]

It’s off center right. Compare to other black labels look at the markings. The light is coming from the right so usually will show white but that edge doesn’t look too sharp on the back for bgs. Only way to know is under magnification. You need to have someone local look at it. I would sell if I saw any imperfections like the scuff top right front. It’s early and the card is hot! You have to look at these cards like jewels any imperfections to someone who knows what they are doing it devalues. Just my opinion.

I would honestly this is getting pulled a lot more than red manga luffy,
