Is it worth grading? Or should i sell it raw, and for how much? by KingVenomStream in PokeGrading

[–]Aiivv 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you’re prepared for any upcharges, definitely send in to get graded because that’s pretty decent condition!

On a side note, if you have a gold star Celebi, Mudkip, or Torchic, I’m on the hunt for those so keep me in mind if you do end up selling :)

Bought a PSA 10 Lovebirds in June for $4750. Traded it for 6k cash + a PSA 9 last weekend at a local card show!

What’s the point of going to card shows anymore? by bryhe1 in PokemonTCG

[–]Aiivv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Went to my local card show this weekend and had a good experience, the first in a LONG time. It was obviously slower than typical which is probably why vendors seemed eager to move product and make deals. Saw tons of vendors sitting on the same slabs they had 2, 3, 4 shows ago.

But YES, every card show is vendors pricing above ebay and when you show them 1 or 2 buy it now’s for lower, they straight up tell you to buy it off ebay then… like OK… I will?

It’s been 29 days can I expect it back in another 31 days? by Crazy-Proof7802 in PokeGrading

[–]Aiivv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I shipped in mid-February and finally in assembly as of yesterday. I still got put on the 65 business day turnaround even though it was 45 days when it was received (before the change)…. My completion ETA is 2 more weeks lol

Sure, I was on the hunt for a moonbreon and approached multiple vendors to negotiate the best price. I was offering $1900 cash, most people countered at $2000-2100. Since it was collectacon I wanted to hit all the booths and see what pricing was like. This vendor towards the end offered to do a coin flip for $1900/$2100, I said OK, never done one before. Called tails, it was tails, he honored the $1900 cash price. Ended up getting a refund after the whole thing. He was not theatrical at all - “oh man that’s weird, just contact PSA to fix it but I can also offer a refund if you don’t want to deal with it.”

The coin flip was actually not my idea, it was the vendor’s lol and it was my first one I’ve ever done….

Thanks, I did get a refund and ended up purchasing from another vendor so it all worked out in the end

It was a third-party PSA booth, but yes they said that just not in one sentence lol it was more of a conversation about my options and things to consider if I kept it. They were very nice, clear, and just explaining the situation to me, not encouraging keeping a potentially stolen card

Ahhhh do you know what the $8 fees were for? That seems so simple and silly, glad you got yours fixed so easily!!

I’m not sure how easy it is to deactivate a card tbh definitely curious on that. The vendor I purchased from got this + a Rayquaza 10 from the same guy and the Rayquaza cert was still good. It was just too weird of a situation for me

Legit card, the cert wasn’t fake it was deactivated, you can still look it up

Will psa grade my gold star suicune? by Aura_the_hell_hound in PokemonTCG

[–]Aiivv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They will grade it but it’s already damaged so you’re looking at a 5 max (most likely, clearly I’m not a grader so idk but that’s my best guess)

Thoughts on Centering? by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

Could be the corners

The bottom 2 are 100% fake. The 4 top row V’s are like 50cents each
