No Rarity Pop Report 06/10/26 - No New PSA 10s - Average New Gem Rate 13.8% - Average Increase in pop 7.5 per day A big jump in grading highest since I started recording however quality is dropping back to the usual 10-15% range. Despite the increase in gradding think we plateau before we hit 10,000 No Rarity total population.

PSA 9 Night Raider I own ZERO PSA 10s. Yeah you heard me, the only PSA 10 I currently hold is my friend’s wedding present and i’m already thinking should i trade it for something else 🤣🤦‍♂️. If you deal in Vintage… scrap this modern concept of only PSA 10s unless you have literally fk you money… or maybe you’re a vendor who can buy substantially below market. Realistically for normies we should be dealing in the more liquid stuff my guess of this is psa 7-9 for main stream sets and for the lower total pop promos etc you should venture even into lower grades. Raws are ALWAYS a good option and should not be ignored, they often perform even better actually. I went to my first trade show in 5 months, I was shocked to see how much raw there was relative to slabs. There is just not enough slabs to go around. Which says something about non-modern cards. My brother-in-law nicknamed me the PSA 9 Night Raider. But one look at the premiums of PSA 10s for me they just arn’t justifiable for me and i have no interest in aura or flex of holding PSA 10s. I was offered some Corocoro PSA 10s at 7-8x a PSA 9. Na sorry i ain’t paying that. I’ll wait for a cool off in the makret and i’m sure the premiums will revert to 3-4x. I have mentioned this before somewhere - Bull Market Premiums. And there is no where more obvious about this the high tier low pop PSA 10 Vintages.

Japanese Pokemon finally Looking Ready? As a primarily Japanese exclusive collector, I can say the vast majority of cards cards in the last 6 months have actually gone lower. Some sets did better such as No Rarity, Vending Series, Grail Rares etc… however those are the outliers. My gut says pokemon hasn’t peaked, and more likely we will see consolidation and broadening of breadth. Everyone you speak to will say all Vintage is at all time highs… the data begs to differ. It was a primarly English rally only. Some examples i found consolidating and below 2026 highs: Pokepark’s Pikachu PSA 9 - ⬇️ 50% JP Snap Pikachu PSA 9 - ⬇️ 20% Gameboy Mewtwo PSA 10 - Flat Mt Fuji Pikachu PSA 9 - ⬇️ 30% Noticed other signs like Snkrdunk buybacks being very strong recently. Been a while but plan to go out to some trade shows next 1-2 months to see if I can pick up any bargains. What do you guys think?

No Rarity - Unofficial 1st Edition Japanese Released in October 20 1996 with people estimating ~53 days print run. (data courtesy of the forum users at Elitefourum) The first pokemon official set print run was released with various errors before being corrected soon after thus making it an unofficial 1st edition. The name No Rarity is due to the signature Rarity symbol missing in the bottom right. Booster pack wise (won’t discuss packs) they can only find them in the 291 yen packs vs the 300 yen packs released April 1, 1997. Even then the chances of finding a no rarity in a 291 yen pack is < 1% now a days. Initially pokemon cards sold quite slowly which is why today we ended up with such a small supply of No Rarity (posted my data in the holo population). Most of the Holos have had < 500 graded in totality! I totally forgot to write a proper post on the genre despite discussing it for months but felt it’s about right as Logan clearly has shown interest in the origins of Pokemon and he has mentioned No Rarity before in the clip i am posting. There is also only 1 Raichu PSA 10 in existance so making this the second hardest set to master set in a PSA 10 after the Corocoro Set which has 0 PSA 10 Ivy Pikachus.
