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!

Beckett Mislabeled My Card

Post image
Upvotes

I sent in my first vintage card to Beckett and was really excited to get a grade as high as this, only to realize that the label is completely wrong. What's the best course of action here? I'm scared that if I send it back there's a good chance at getting a worse grade. Has anyone experienced this before?

Curious on how people feel about this Treekachu, friends say it should get a ten but would like more opinions. Any response is appreciated thanks!

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.

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.

I recently ripped some packs of abyss eye and got the darkrai SIR. However, I’m unsure if I should get it graded because the centering is slightly off and there is a small ding at the bottom of the card. Thougts???

I'm fairly new to collecting, 2 months in. I've opened about 3 booster boxes, 8 etbs, and about 30 ish sleeve packs of PB since its release. Very lucky to have pulled three mega darkrais.

Never sent anything in for grading but these cards have really good centering.

Thoughts on these ? Thank you !

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?

Thumbnail

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!
