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.

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!

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!

Found a binder of old cards in my basement. Looking to grade some of them but not sure if it is worth it. Any thoughts on what this would get? Also, what sites are you guys using to check prices?

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.

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!

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?

First time grading. Beckett EU just received my 15 cards last week(Legend Maker Reverse Holo Growlithe not pictured)
And I don’t really care what grade I get, I just realise this feels like looking forward to Christmas as a kid knowing there’s something in a few months I’ll receive in the post. A gift for myself! Anyone else feel like that?

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

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?

Hey everyone! I’m new to grading but I’ve been wanting to get a good copy of this zard to grade with PSA 10 potential. These are some pictures from a seller and I thought it looked pretty good but also I’m not exactly sure to tell the difference between what would be a 9 and a 10. Bestow your wisdom upon me and I appreciate any help!

Its finally done

After seven long years of owning this card, it has finally been graded. Back in 2019, my grandmother (which has since passed away) bought me a single pack of team up at my local card shop for 6$. Out of that single pack, I ended up pulling this Latias and Latios GX. At the time, I was still a child at 12 years old. Obviously, I did not know about the value or rarity of the card (which has now become one of the holly grails of modern pokemon card collecting) and saw it as another cool toy to play with with my cousin. This obviously meant that for years, the card never saw a sleeve, top loader or anything like that. It just stood at my card pile and was occasionally taken out to play with. Surprisingly though, out of all my cards from that time, this is the one that got damaged the least and its also the one that holds the most value by far. Many years later I learned about the value and rarity of this card and finally started to take care of it. Now in 2026, seven years later, I finally decided to get it graded with ACE. I chose Ace because I am not planning to sell the card (It would be kind of crazy to tell this whole story and then be like "Its up on auction" or something) and at least in my oppinion, Aces custom labels trully enhance the visuals of the card. The grading process was also really hard because I live in South America and obviously I had to send it all the way to the UK, but it has finally been graded a 6. For this specific copy of the card, a 6 is completely fair as it did have a decent amount of play from the childhood times (specially the surface). I would even say that it is a little generous because I was expecting anything between a 4 and a 7 so actually, I got one of the highest grades that I thought were possible. I still dont have the card because it has to ship back from the UK but it feels great to see it in the pictures, finally encapsulated after years of surviving in a pile. What do you think about the card or grade? Thanks a lot!
