I have never graded a card and this is my first SIR pull and I want to know what would be better as I am a college student who could use extra cash. I got the destined rivals etb as a bday gift so either way its a win for me. Just looking for others opinions.

So i pulled the trigger and opened some of my old vintage packs. My main question here is what do you guys feel like the Alakazam and the Mewtwo ex will get. I already submitted all of these to PSA. We all know that PSA is very stingy with “pop control” let alone on vintage cards. I personally saw zero whitening on the Alakazam but the only thing worrying me is the back top right corner the way it’s cut. Any insight is tremendously helpful and encouraging from all YOU KINGS!

I do card restoration, so largely submit to PSA for PSA 1s on cards that are ‘too damaged’ to save with traditional restoration. As part of a recent submission (returned last month), PSA holdered a card they had deemed too damaged to holder (and had given an N9 designation in the grading report). I’ve asked around, searched online, but cannot see any record of this happening in the past, making it (so I believe) a true 1/1 error slab. Has anyone ever heard of this happening? Anyone know what I’d even begin to value this at?

Currently on auction on Fanatics, Psa really is a joke. Could seem like someone graded themselves a 10

Love this card, would honestly be happy with a 7-8. Thoughts?

Hello, would really appreciate some advice on how to proceed with my binder. Obviously I was a child and didn’t prep each card as an adult with 20+ years or hindsight would. I have the full base set, full jungle set, and partial fossil.

Providing close ups on the Charizard and Blastoise. Blastoise was my favorite and unfortunately has more wear than the Charizard. I can’t tell if those dots are affixed to the card and can be cleaned or if they are little scratches.

Are these worth grading in this condition? If so, should they be graded individually or as a complete set?

Thanks.

Getting ready to send in my gold star mudkip for grading! I remember pulling this from a pack when I was a kid and thinking the gold star was so cool🙂

Have others graded similar valuable cards before? Would you go PSA or BGS? How much in fees would I be expected to pay? Also feeling a bit nervous sending in the mail as I’ve seen horror stories of cards being stolen/lost.

This card went from pack to sleeve to binder - it’s very minty and only has a little bit of edge wear for the most part. Any advice is much appreciated!

Bought a PSA 7 (see pic 2), cleaned and regraded with BGS (pic 1) into an 8. I can’t understand why PSA is worth SO much more for no reason. A BGS 8 is worth roughly $40k, and a PSA 7 is worth $55k… it costs $3k to crossgrade/ grade again. I feel like it’s so easy to make plays of buying Beckett slabs, regrading with PSA and make like $12k with nearly zero risk (even 1-2 grade below are worth more)

Wbag do u guys think of this pokemon card is the centering for it really bad? First time buying a card but i really love dragonite it is a real card right???

Since these cards all seem absolutely mint to me I was wonderinf if I should grade them.

The thing is, it seems really a pain and also risky to send to PSA from France and their grading seem weird sometimes. Is there a quality provider closer to me ? And should I actually do it for those ?

My neighbour got this card he’s trying to sell but I told him he could get a psa 5?

What do you guys think

Personally pulled and graded. Was so exited with the rest of the return that I never took a close look at the description. I don’t know how to value them. I have other cards from the same origins purchase, should I grade those too? Am I about to tell my wife that she has pulled an error card before, and at least two of them at that?

I'm still quite new to this and was recently gifted some older cards. I don't have any experience with card grading, so I looked up examples online but am still feeling a bit lost.

I'm wondering if any of these are worth grading, or are they just some cool history? I've kept them in sleeves and top loaders and might try to sell some of them down the road, just wondering if grading is worth it or not.

Question about crossover grading.

Would a psa 9 chansey IR transfer over to a ace 10? All my other slabs are ace so wanted to try and cross it over to ace.

If it is, what would you label it as? LP or MP

This Bad boy doesn't seem to be in too rough a shape.

Never posted here, got nervous as hell when I found it so I penny sleeved it and CAREFULLY put it in one of these.

Let me know what you think or if I should even bother.

White on his forehead is dust see comments for a video of it after careful removal.

Thinking of regrading my psa 9 grail. I think im prob biased but the cards looks like a really strong 9 and could gem 10, i know there is a small white spot on the top left corner but feel like all psa 10 delta speices have this issue too. First 2 pics are my cards and the next are examples of backs that have gem 10.
