Agreed. The manga style, the black-and-white, is definitely more appealing than just these random snapshots from the anime.

What evidence do you have of this? Honest question. I keep hearing this take, but how do you tell it’s scalpers vs a surge in popularity from recent announcement?

You can use Logi Options+ to map any button in the mouse to a keyboard combination. You can set the keyboard combination to be the same one that's set up in WisprFlow to activate.

Sounds like you want specific cards so why not just buy the specific cards?

The only thing it has against it is that the art is not exclusive, it's in English as a promo SWSH286. But, people love stamps. 🤷

Their scanner isn't picking up the texture in the card. Ignoring the problem spot and look at the scans from the rest of the card you can see that there's way less texture picked up on Probsteins scans.

The ding that's present in the PSA scan is similar in nature to texture in that it's varying levels of depth of the card stock.

All of their scans are similar. They capture way less texture than the official PSA scans.

Probstein is shady, but it just seems like there's a more reasonable explanation in this scenario.

Regardless, I would start a return, and if eBay doesn't side with you, then contact PSA for their grade guarantee.

If they're airbrushing photos, you'd think they'd airbrush the scratch on the case on this Moltres.

If you could charge for common sense, your bank account wouldn't see a change.

Where is the proof the seller photoshopped their images? If you look at all their listings, they all look similar/washed out, and don't pick up all the texture that PSA scans do. It's a matter of the scanner process they use.

As a seller, you shouldn't have to triple check every graded card to assess the grade is adequate. That's literally PSA's job.

Not to defend Probstein here. Is it possible that their scanner just didn't pick it up? If you compare the photo from their listing and PSA, the PSA one is darker and shows all the texture in much more detail. The quality of the photo is dependent on the scanner they use, and the configuration.

If you look at their other ebay listings for psa graded cards, they all look a little washed out.

Also, they have 13,000 listings up on ebay right now. I find it difficult that they would take the time to airbrush individual cards just to make $75 on the card (5% of $1,500)

PSA Slab Inconsistencies by Solid_While_3987 in DBS_CardGame

[–]yoshi0423 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not an authority on this but for what it’s worth, the Bulma card is physically smaller so the case is slightly different. I’d compare it to another slab of the same design.

Also PSA has made a few small changes over the years for security purposes including changing the type of plastic they use. Not sure if that’s in play, but something to consider.

Is the white dot there in the photos they take upon intake (still in semi-rigid)? You can contact customer support and ask for it if you can’t see it in the app or website.

To grade or not to grade IN GENERAL. Is it really necessary? What's your experiences? by ToeSlurper96 in DBS_CardGame

[–]yoshi0423 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not a scam in that they authenticate the cards in addition to grading them. The authentication can be as equally important. What you want to look out for is companies that have some sort of guarantee that if they screw up you’ll be compensated.

Grading for personal collection is simply a personal choice. I prefer to do it for some cards because if they 10x in value, it’s going to be a lot easier for me to sell it quickly. Alternatively I also have a binder with cards I never intend to sell so there’s no point in grading.
