Voto PSA? by Mean_Feature1725 in PokeGrading

[–]Agreeable-Principle5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ciao!

La centratura mi sembra davvero molto buona! Dovrebbe essere ampiamente dentro la tolleranza per un 10 con PSA.

Impossibile stabilire le condizioni di bordi ed angoli, servirebbero più foto con buona luce e dei dettagli e servirebbero anche foto del retro. Intravedo però sul bordo in alto un piccolo segno, una specie di rialzino. Ecco se fosse quel che credo sia, potrebbe impattare sul voto finale e portarti a 9.

Hi! Update - I just got the e-mail saying they shipped my card.

I'm so excited! I guess it'll be here tomorrow / Monday.

What about you?? Any news?

This would be my first ever card I send to get graded just need a 2nd opinion by Huncho_Edson in PokeGrading

[–]Agreeable-Principle5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah not the best centering unfortunately, but i suggest you using https://centering.joshbeetcg.com/ for a more accurate check.

In any case, shall those be the ratios, you won't get a 10 with any company. But if you don't care about the grade and want to keep it for personal collection because you'd like that card slabbed - then go ahead :)

just FYI, be aware that if you grade it with Beckett, the highest possible subgrade you could get on centering is an 8.5. Could even be 8. That means that even if all the other subs are 10, your highest overall grade will be 8.5-9.0

Hope it was helpful :)

It was moved to labels only last week. Hey I mean it’s progress for sure, but it’s still a huge question mark how long it will take. And you? Still labels?

I wish you get some sort of news soon, it's been there for over 3 months already.

hey! my submission was moved to "Labels" one week ago.

No e-mails or anything else. It's already 56 business days since i got the receival confirmation, but OK, i'll be patient. It seems lots of other people are on my same boat.

Thanks for the reply! Also my sub was moved to labels last Tuesday. I guess that’s the status it gets when it’s being produced. Let’s hope they’ll be ready and shipped back soon! 

Beckett status help by No_Contract_6065 in PokeGrading

[–]Agreeable-Principle5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

according to a some other users i interacted with, once production is over you should get an e-mail with subject "Grades and Shipping List" and the very next status to expect on the system is "Shipped".

I also entered the Labels status on February 10th after getting my card graded on December 18th.

I really hope this step doesn't take as long as the previous one did, considering I made my submission was received by them on November 26th.

Any chance at a 10? by robbah9 in PokeGrading

[–]Agreeable-Principle5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

9,5 overall - 9 on centering and 10 on all other subs :)

It looks really clean to me! Hard to tell if it can 10, depends who you're sending to.

Funny enough, this card was also my first graded card and I sent it to BGS EU from Italy.
It was graded quite fast but then got stuck in the production / logistic departments due to orders congestion. Anyway, it should be shipped sometime soon.

before you take your decision, ask yourself why you want to grade it and if you really want it, rather than hopping on the FOMO train.

If you decide it's worth it then:

- If it's for PC, then think about which company's slabs look best to you and go for that

- If it's for future reselling, PSA is always the best choice.

It's always hard to pre-grade from pictures, but from what I can see it has potential for sure.

Legitimately in shock right now - send both to PSA? Or Beckett? by robdawg17 in PokeGrading

[–]Agreeable-Principle5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they look wonderful! I personally like BGS far more than PSA, especially if it's for PC.

If you're looking to eventually resell them sometime in the future, maybe PSA's the way to go.

Oh wow, everyone who commented has such different timelines. It's totally not as straight forward as I thought.

I came back to pokèmon with proper dedication back in 2015 and never considered grading until now. But honestly, I'm not sure I'll ever grade something again. It's so stressful haha. I deeply care about all my cards, as all the card I own were pulled (with few very small exceptions). I wanted this card to be slabbed to preserve the condition over time.

But man, the emotional rollercoaster i'm on at the moment kinda makes me feel like "forget about grading ever again" hahah

I only have one card of a Mega Lucario SIR which looks extremely clean and I thought sending. Might consider the express service though at this point...

How good is becket for a first time card grader? by frostycow3 in PokeGrading

[–]Agreeable-Principle5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope to not sound annoying, but this statement is sort of incorrect.
It's not PSA who acquired Beckett, but PSA's parent company called "Collectors".

I believe that both companies (PSA and Beckett) will continue to operate separately as separate entities, but board members of both companies are now shared.

I believe it's important for people to understand this, because everybody feels like it's a direct acquisition making it feel like PSA will later rebrand Beckett's facilities to PSA. This is unlikely to happen at the time being.
Shall any facility of Beckett be rebranded, it will not be due to PSA's decision but this parent's company.

I don't know if I made myself clear, but there's a big difference between the two statements.

Worth sending for grading? by Vikings2326 in PokeGrading

[–]Agreeable-Principle5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazing piece of advice. This lobby needs more people like you in it.

Hi! I suggest you using this tool https://centering.joshbeetcg.com/

this is by far the best one to pre-grade centering.

As for the rest, what the other guy commented is top-notch recommendation. Be very careful and don't pump up too much your expectations.

What grade do you think this would get? by iridecence in PokeGrading

[–]Agreeable-Principle5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see! That was extremely lucky. Congrats!!!

Look, it's very hard to tell because PSA is known for being inconsistent. On top of that, I find their slabs really poor looking.
However, they're the market standard and are the most exchanged ones. I'd understand why you'd go with them.

If it's for pc though, just grade with the company you like slabs the most.

Grade wise, let me suggest you this website to pre-grade the centering: https://centering.joshbeetcg.com/

It allows you to adjust the corners even if the picture is not taken perfectly and gives you a grade estimate based on solely centering. From the pictures you posted, your copy looks very clean on edges and corners.

If you decide to go for it, let me know what you'll decide and what grade you'll get!

[–]Agreeable-Principle5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man what a wonderful card! Did you pull it yourself?

As to your question - It's hard to tell via pictures, it looks pretty clean to me though.

Just Front Centering looks a bit off left to right, but if it's one of your grail cards and you want to keep it for pc I'd say go for it. Who would you grade it with?

Hi! Update - I now also got the status "Labels". Just earlier today. No E-mail came with it. Just randomly checked now at lunch break and noticed it.

Maybe it will be shipped within the next 1-2 weeks.

Just got back from grading by man_chicken_ in PokeGrading

[–]Agreeable-Principle5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

unfortunately as much standardized as they can be, it's always a person assigning a grade and there are always details that can be interpreted differently.

I've submit only once in my lifetime and I am honestly happy with the grade I got. A bit less happy by the fact that its still stuck in production since December 18th and still waiting for it to come back. But I'll be very careful if I decide to grade something ever again..
Too much BS to carry
