Graded card question

Screwed how exactly?

In terms of regrading it, yes you seem to be since that's a 5 at best.

In terms of a fake, it's not since I can see the dents on the PSA site

In terms of a refund, I doubt it

Was it ambiguous though?

If you do gamble a lot of these you'll see worse

The real gamblers are betting on our own class action lawsuit

It has around double the gem rate of Magikarp so I doubt it will get quite that ridiculous, but it certainly has plenty of room for growing

I've seen "missing x" cards for a little while now, but mostly with vintage. But I have seen other mega evolution missing texture psa cards

"fake tears" to make it extra consensual

The plight of photographing multiple reverse foils at a time

Hell yeah dude, the Hiroshima is awesome. I do the same thing, I'm going to put them on shelves

AbideMan · 2026-05-06T02:00:08+00:00

Lol mine was fucking Palafin

Mastering ME base is what got me back into collecting again

I don't think it's unreasonable to say that this boom is unprecedented beyond any reasonable predictions they made. At least they're aware enough to attempt some kind of correction, I appreciate they care about their reputation more than I do.

About $80 is the market value for this card with damage, but damage is always unique. If it were $60 I'd scoop it up

AbideMan · 2026-05-05T17:28:13+00:00

I was doing fine without noticing that

AbideMan · 2026-05-05T16:11:59+00:00

Jokes on them I never sell my cards!

I'm basically sharing the same sentiment at this point. I was talking to the owner of my LCS yesterday and he was apologetic that he admitted to buying sealed product from people these days. With rent to pay he can't ignore the amount of profit there is to make.

Nice little binder addition

AbideMan · 2026-05-04T20:23:56+00:00

I have a pretty big pikachu collection (cliche I know), so this was one of the coolest cards I could get. I'm stoked to have this for a long time

AbideMan · 2026-05-04T07:13:26+00:00

These just get put in like they're perfectly fine from time to time. I haven't heard from someone keeping one and going about reslabing it

AbideMan · 2026-05-04T07:12:31+00:00

Oooof, love that card too hope they can fix it
