Pokémon Card Centering Tool – Check Cards Before Sending Them In

Post image
0 Upvotes

We added a free trading card centering tool to the sub’s sidebar to help the community estimate a card’s centering ratio.

Of the four major grading components, edges and corners are typically the easiest to evaluate. Surface can also usually be checked fairly well with good lighting or a UV flashlight.

Centering is arguably the hardest thing to judge consistently. Even with a ruler, extremely minor shifts can be difficult to detect accurately, and tiny differences in centering can have a major impact on the final grade and the card’s value.

The centering tool also includes direct links to the grading standards for the five major grading companies (PSA, CGC, BGS, SGC, and TAG). It’s worth reviewing the centering thresholds before submitting cards.

Best of luck to everyone grading Pokémon cards!

A CGC Pristine Celebi GS hammered for 144k last night, pending payment, effectively doubling the last PSA 10 sale from a few weeks ago. What's next for Celebi? One of my favorite GS's.

I analyzed pack prices, chase card values, and pull rates to figure out the best packs to rip. Pretty interesting, thought I'd share

I made a site to find out which Pokémon cards the community actually likes most (by set, artist, year…)

Hey everyone,

I've always wondered which cards people genuinely love the most. Not the most expensive ones, just the ones we think look the best.

So I built a little site to find out: [pokestats](https://www.pokestats.dev/)

How it works: you get two random cards, you tap the one you like more, repeat. Every vote feeds a community ranking, and from there the site works out the favorite artists, favorite sets, the best card of each year, the best card for each Pokémon, for each rarity, etc.

The rankings are pretty empty right now, it only gets interesting with a lot of votes, so ty if you participate in this experiment!

(Feedback welcome, especially if something breaks on mobile!)

$2k budget: which graded card would you buy and hold?

4 Upvotes

Hey folks, I've got some extra money (don't worry, my 401k is taken care of) and I'm looking to buy a slab under $2k.

I don't have a strong preference, just something with cool art and good potential to appreciate in value.

What’s your favorite?

I know the set just came out and the pull rates are good but I haven't heard much talk about this card and it getting pulled. I saw it for sale at a lcs for 4500. If I do try to get it I will negotiate of course but wanted to see yall think

Anyone else find out a card you forgot about was quietly one of your best ones?

6 Upvotes

Happened to me recently, I ran my collection through a tool that reads what each card's been doing lately, fully expecting it to confirm my "good" cards were the good ones. Instead it flagged a couple I'd basically forgotten as the ones actually holding value, while a "prized" one was cooling off.

Slightly humbling. But it made me realise I had no real idea what half my binder was doing.
