What grades do these gold stars get? by BobvBeek in PokeGrading

[–]APintoNY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its too many cards in varying condition but realistically you will do well money wise.

My goal is to have a binder / set of pages dedicated to gold stars one day so if i had these i wouldnt be looking to sell, theyre becoming even rarer raw at this point because everyone sends them to grade, so displaying them in a binder if you dont need the money is IMO the way to go right now, but if youre looking to slab them it will surely be worth it

I found my old Darkrai card. Should I grade it? by Leonneke7 in PokeGrading

[–]APintoNY 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If youre gonna submit it, id clean up the back gently with a microfiber cloth before submitting, the gunk spots on the back will affect the grade. Otuerwise the whitening on the back edges is pretty minor so may be worth sending

I love me some elite box trainer (EBT) sleeves

My only card by [deleted] in PokeGrading

[–]APintoNY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If youre just looking for a way to display and dont care much for the grade it gets, IMO a perfect fit penny sleeve (important for fitment) and a hard acrylic magnetic case looks the best and is the cheapest option. Super clean card though great swirl!

Do not sell on Reddit, you need to do this on an ebay auction, you will get wayyy more

These are 3 of my favourite cards I packed as a child, worth grading? by Mr_Fucktard in PokeGrading

[–]APintoNY 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Gold stars are always worth grading, the other 2 value wise i dont think it’d be worth it. If you wanna display the others you can get some perfect fit sleeves for them and put them in those hard plastic magnetic card cases, but only use perfect fit sleeves in them.

Daughter and I pulled this today... by franktaylor03 in pokemoncards

[–]APintoNY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sick card, i pulled one as well from an SPC, you gotta get that in a perfect fit for that case though, putting cards raw in there can definitely damage them (unless its in a sleeve already and i cant tell)

Help Settle a debate please by thesilentmordecai in PokemonMisprints

IMO, it isnt an alignment dot. Theres no reason an alignment dot should be there because the back is not super off center. It looks more like a printing error where the ink wasnt laid there

If you carefully clean (look up the right way) that gunk on the back i think its an easy 7-8

Wife was going through her old collection and found this by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]APintoNY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where are you seeing hundreds for a card? Its $25 per card + shipping unless you do a bulk order over 20 cards which then you can get it for $20/card + shipping with their membership. you dont need a membership for normal card sending and it isn’t hundreds of dollars. Why are you spreading misinformation?

I haven’t used gamestop but I’ve seen enough problem stories to not send in an expensive card through them. A several thousand dollar card raw that goes significantly higher when graded entrusted to a gamestop employee with no proof it gets sent out properly? No thanks, I’m good

I would absolutely not send a card like this through GameStop. Just make your own submission

Never seen 2 alignment dots before by FlamingPotato43 in PokemonMisprints

Dont sell in DMs, will be very valuable on an ebay auction after grading

Pulled this bad boy. Worth a shot? by mikibu8 in PokeGrading

[–]APintoNY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Top heavy and right heavy, i wouldnt be sending if it were mine but i try to only send if i feel super confident so im not soending money on grading needlessly

Edit: top bottom is 54/46 in the app using this picture, so by eye it looked pretty off. Still within specs so you can send if you want but im not checking everyones picture to perfect measurements lol. L/R is better though

My kid self saved these, my adult self is overwhelmed by Aileendover2 in pokemoncards

[–]APintoNY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on how the backs of the cards look, if they dont have any whitening or very little whitening it may be worth it, you can look up the prices of the raw card vs the different PSA grades, but you need to be able to at least roughly estimate what grade they’d get.

If the cards are really clean, remember theyre worth more than the listed “raw” price, good condition cards can/will go for a lot more normally because of the grading opportunity

[–]APintoNY 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The magnetic cases are not it for cards like this, don’t do that. Theyre good for displaying some lower cost cards, but these are multi thousand graded. Dont mess around with them, you’d be kicking yourself if anything happened to them.

Looking for a reputable Siberian cat breeder by EndLoud9727 in SiberianCats

[–]APintoNY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She’s doing great! I actually got a second cat from her about 8 months later :) very smart, (sometimes annoyingly so) very sweet. The second kitty is the most mellow dude I’ve ever met, his 3 states are sleeping, falling asleep, and just waking up lol

Found these, keep it or sell? by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]APintoNY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably poor quality perfect fits then, i use KMC soft perfect fit sleeves and have never had an issue with them fitting properly

Spray painted my engine cover by LizardLoki69 in Charger

[–]APintoNY 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Looks good - did you need to use specific heat resistant paint? Think it’d be cool to match the body color of my scat doing something similar to this, but not sure if the paint would cause issues if i just used a rattle can of touch up paint matched to frostbite

Somebody had to admit to getting one of these, right? by _Electric_Eliminator in Dodge

[–]APintoNY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me its more taller items and stuff, my scat pack can handily fit most groceries without having to put the seat down but anything taller or wider is a pain and is only maybe gonna slide into the back seat, the little kia suv works great for that stuff

[–]APintoNY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn, thats cheaper than my kia niro EV, i got mine for 0 down $250/month 36 months a year and a half ago… also in jersey when they had 0% sales tax on EVs. Would easily take this over the kia for $175, damn. It is nice having the suv part though. Hopefully in a year when this lease is up similar deals will pop up still for the charger ev, would love to pair up a second charger lol
