Description: Hi! PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY! First things first. I DO NOT OFFER DISCOUNTS ON ANY BUY IT NOW LISTINGS. Ever. My prices are fair, otherwise I would not have been in business for more than 37 years or have near perfect feedback on Ebay for 23 years. You either want it or you don't. If you want it, the price is $173. If you don't want it, you would be overpaying by $173. Are we clear? Good. Thank you. This is a Buy It Now listing for NIDOKING, a holographic Pokemon card from the 1999 English Base set. But you already know that, otherwise you wouldn't be reading this. I have been selling Pokemon singles, packs, boxes since January 1999. I have opened more packs than I care to remember. For 21 years I sold Pokemon at the Mall. As you may know if you have seen my listings on Ebay, I am leaving at least 90% of all my Pokemon to my children. That means I am selling exactly 14 of these NIDOKINGs Base set holos on Ebay over the next several years. The other 80 I own will be left to my four children. All of my holographic cards are near mint to mint, which I define as highly gradable by either PSA, BGS, GMA, SGC, etc. Will this card get a 10? I don't know, but all of my holos went straight from a pack that I opened, then into a soft sleeve, then into a rigid holder. I have no doubt that some of my ZAPDOS, NIDOKING, and RAICHU singles would get a 10, some would get a 9 and perhaps some would get an 8--though not many. I was careful and I was picky since I collected and sold Pokemon at the mall. I have seen 10s of this card go for several hundred dollars. That is not how I price my cards. I do not assume a 10 grade. A 9, maybe yes, maybe no. Check the photos on this card--a clean back a perfectly centered front with no discernible flaws. I price this in between a 10 and an 8. I mention this is a Buy It Now listing. I do NOT discount Buy It Now listings. The price is the price. $173. No more. No less. If you send this in to get graded and it comes back a 10, boy (or girl) did you get a steal! If it comes back a 9, you still did fine. If it comes back an 8, well, you didn't get 100% of your moneys worth today--but probably in three years you will. I am no spring chicken. (Is there a fall chicken?) I will never sell all my Pokemon in my lifetime. It's all in my warehouse and 90% (or more) goes to my kids, so here is the deal. I am going to sell one or two more NIDOKINGS in 2023, three more in 2024, three more in 2024 and so on. I am going to do the same with Raichu. I have a lot of those, too, and I am going to do the same with Poliwrath. All of my holos are stone cold beautiful, if I must say. Well, I don't have to say it, but I just did. If you are looking for a great looking NIDOKING, you might want to buy this. If you are not looking for a great looking NIDOKING, you should have stopped reading 300 words ago! Now, the rules: 1) No discount. SO PLEASE DON'T ASK FOR ONE.. If you want it, the price is $173, plus $11.90 for insured shipping and signature required services anywhere in the continental U.S. 2) Payment is due within four days of purchase. 3) If you have a question, please ask. This is NOT my hobby. This is how I try to make a living for the past 27 years. 4) I ship quickly and securely. 5) I am proud of my feedback on Ebay, encompassing more than 7,400 separate transactions over the past 23 years. 6) I also ship worldwide through Ebay's International Shipping Program. There is a fee Ebay charges you (and me!) for this service, so check Ebay for details. I have shipped to more than 25 countries and 49 states but never to South Dakota. Don't people there like Pokemon? 7) The most important rule of all: DON'T FORGET RULE NUMBER 1. Thanks. Jerry P.S. I always send you the USPS tracking number the day I mail. P.P.S. If you desire, please send this card to eBay for authenticity. ALL my Pokemon cards in English, French, German, Japanese, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian are authentic.
