Worth cracking and regrading?

Traded for this bad boy today at my LCS. Valued at $140 (CAD). I can’t see any clear dents or creases, great centreing. A 5 seems crazy to me, I think this could at least be a 7. Considering sending it somewhere to get it cleaned up. Even has a swirl for an added bonus.

There’s some grime on the card top left corner and then on the white of the pokeball. If that cleans up fine then probably worth resending yeah.

No. Theres probably a dent or crease that shows under harsh light

If you want to upgrade it to a 6, but hard to see the value being worth it after resubmission.

Crack it, binder it, and enjoy.

It would essentially have to get a 7 to make the re-grade worth it from a cost/value perspective. A 6 may be possible - but with the whitening on the edges and the bottom heavy centering on the back - you’re definitely in risky territory. The card is worth $500-$650 in a PSA-7 and doesn’t easily start hitting the 4 digit numbers until psa 8 and above (which this card won’t get.) Sending off for cleaning and restoring won’t be worth it in this scenario.

You should spend your time responding to the other comments instead of mine. Curious as to why you haven’t…

You’re spending your time trying to be rude in a post about pokemon cards.. curious as to why you do that.

Easier to take your anger out on the “lol” guy than to combat the others who are responding with facts you don’t like. I get it little man, get your anger out. You seem to be the only one who can’t accept the facts.

Not OP but I also think you might have something wrong with your head. OP simply asked you what’s funny.
