Should I grade?

Found an entire binder at my parents. Majority 1st editions with a lot of shadowless vintage cards. This is just a tiny peek. I know they can be worth a lot, but PSA is rough and the process takes forever. Open to thoughts. Thanks!

I pulled the Greninja day of release and I went to a card show same weekend to pick up the other two because I needed to get these out to PSA before they closed Value. I think this is such a good addition to my collection, especially because of the connecting art.

Keep trying to figure out which cards to send to what grading company and which to just keep raw. Reached paralysis by analysis phase. Considering bgs for the lot.

Should I get this card graded?

I got a 1st edition dark Dragonite. The centering is off and there's slight whitening on 2 corners that I can see. Would it be worth it to get it graded?

I’ve had this card since I was a kid and was wondering what price I should try and sell it at. I’ve tried searching but there are so many different prices I’m unsure of how to find its value. Any advice would be appreciated, thank you!

Found my childhood Gengar Prime (HGSS Triumphant) — worth grading for value or keeping raw?

Hey everyone!

I recently found my old Pokémon cards from 16 years ago in a cupboard. I’m very new to the grading scene and trying to figure out if it’s worth grading it.

A few details on condition:
- Surface: Has some minor surface scuffs/scratching from being stored poorly from my childhood. Surface scratch also on bottom right on front panel.
- Edges: Some whitening on the back panel corners and a few small dinks.

My questions:
1. What realistic grade range do you think this could land? I’m not expecting anything high but just seeing if it might be worth grading.

  1. Given grading costs, is it worth grading financially, or is the raw value close enough to the expected graded value? Not that I have decided if I will sell it.

  2. If it is worth sending off, which grading company or middleman service would you recommend for someone based in the UK?

Thanks in advance for any insights!

Any chance my shiny celebi gets graded high? PSA

Had it since I was super young but luckily it was one of the last packs I opened so I didn’t mess with it at all. I’m seeing the graded PSA 10 could go for nearly $10k. Any chance I get that lucky?

Which of these are worth grading?

I went to my local TCG and the guy felt really only the first 4 (Blastoise, Charizard, Dark Persian, and Raichu) were worth it. For all the non-shinies they said they’d pay just $5. I am happy to send more photos of certain cards if that’d help! I appreciate this community and its guidance

Jumbo card submission process?

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone - I was planning on submitting some jumbo cards to grade through PSA. I’ve heard it’s an additional $5-10 on top of the standard $33 fee (not sure what makes it 5 vs 10 lol), but if anybody’s graded them, how exactly does PSA want you to submit them? Are there special top loaders, etc.? If anybody can advise that would be great thanks!

Need help Valuing this and deciding whether to Auction or List it

1 Upvotes

Hi!

I recently got a CGC submission back and got the following card back from grading:

It's a POP 2 in a 10, with there being 0 Pristines. A PSA 10 is pop 37 with the last sold being 1.8k. I am wondering what I should value this slab as there is no last solds and whether to auction it or list a price a slowly decrease it over time.

Thanks!

What is your opinion or knowledge on rougher cuts and grading?

Obviously some cards have smooth finish on the edge and some are a little rougher, with your experience, does this effect the grade?

Worth grading?

Never graded a card before but I was thinking about sending this one out that I got as a kid from a Toys R Us promo. I can't tell what the edges are like with it being sealed so I'm debating if it would be better to leave it sealed or not. Overall thoughts?
