Alpha Set for Sale
http://www.ebay.com/itm/360785972995
Kind of interesting. image is so poor on my computer that I can't read the grade of the power.
Undergourd Sea not graded but at least the Sol Ring is.
Can someone with a better system tell me what the grades are? I can't figure them out at all.

Well they sure didn't win my confidence. I asked what the graded items were and they sent me two more pictures I couldn't see clearly enough, even in Photoshop ti couldn't make out the numbers.
Obviously not proud of the set enough to even have a list of hte grades available.....

Poor description content for sure. They should have listed the grades at the very least on any graded cards in the listing since they didn't take close enough photos of the cards.mystical_tutor wrote:Well they sure didn't win my confidence.

For sure, if you buy this set, you can t expect better than PSA 8.
All the cards look touched.
Only a few will get PSA 8 and not because of a fingernail
But it s a nice set for a player.
Or someone that dream of an alpha set but can t afford a graded one.
I would rather get this one than buy raw alpha cards on ebay because i think those cards are not fake / recolored /trimed and i don t think you can find much better raw alpha on ebay nowadays.
Well of course this set look like a good deal if it s between 20-30 k ...

well, one small progress that the US customs people have made is allowing the country of mfg to be listed on the US customs form.
that should help out with VAT in cases like this.
