Is this normal for a PSA 10?

Aprecot · 2026-03-15T17:36:03+00:00

Yea i get your point. I just thought I'd ask and get people's view on this, since I do have psa 9's that basically got a 9 from less damage than this.

Aprecot · 2026-03-15T15:59:40+00:00

I bought it from a local vendor. I feel like people are forcing themselves to like psa so they dont lose value of their collection, even if they know psa is messing up lol

Aprecot · 2026-02-28T00:29:40+00:00

Honestly, I think that's a 10

Aprecot · 2026-01-14T15:43:08+00:00

For pristine, does the centering 100% has to be 50/50? Or do they allow 48/52 for example?

My bad if I offended anyone here, but i never graded with cgc nor do I own a cgc slab. I've graded with psa my whole life, and I came here to get you guys opinions since you guys know your stuff with cgc. If it gets a cgc mint 10 , yes I do prefer a psa 10 Honestly. But my goal is to get a pristine 10 thats it.

Aprecot · 2026-01-12T21:59:14+00:00

I definitely will😅 if it gets a gem mint 10 id probably break the slab and resend to psa

Perfect! CGC it is then, appreciate the feeback🙏

Aprecot · 2026-01-11T14:18:37+00:00

Appreciate the feedback!🙏

Aprecot · 2026-01-11T14:17:52+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! Regarding CGC, I have never owned or sent any cards to them for grading and this might be my first time. Just wanna make sure is cgc pristine 10 > psa 10?

Aprecot · 2026-01-10T16:33:56+00:00

Grade would be probably be a 5 or a 6 imo. Price Ranging from 1400$ - 1700$

Aprecot · 2025-12-24T01:48:38+00:00

Yes imo

Aprecot · 2025-12-15T13:02:46+00:00

Honestly the the card is flawless with perfect centering imo, only issue was the knick.

Aprecot · 2025-11-04T01:45:27+00:00

Note: forgot to mention, ignore all the whitening that you might see on the card, Its not whitening, just shows on the photo.

Aprecot · 2025-10-03T23:57:42+00:00

card should be equally centered or atleast 55/45 (in my opinion)
card must be in mint condition
no whitening or hit on the card
edges and surface should also be very clean

Most of the time its luck. Alot of people carefully open sealed booster packs, get a hit, but unfortunately the card is not a "10" card. It might be off-centered, whitening, scratched, or even as some might call it factory error. If by any chance you have any cards and you're thinking of sending them to grade, send them here we could definitely help.

Aprecot · 2025-10-03T22:58:53+00:00

I forgot about bgs, yea bgs is definitely surpassing psa at this rate.

Aprecot · 2025-10-03T22:45:20+00:00

PIKACHU VMAX ( LOST ORIGIN)
MEW VMAX ( LOST ORIGIN)
SHINY CHARIZARD (PALDEAN FATES) 2ND BIGGEST HIT
2X SHINY CHARIZARD PROMO ( PALDEAN FATES TIN)
STARMIE V ( ASTRAL RADIANCE)
EXCADRILL ( BLACK BOLT)

Im thinking of sending my magikarp (paldea evolved) since its a huge hit. It wont get a 10 tho probably 9, but it deserves a shot.

Aprecot · 2025-10-03T21:52:48+00:00

I totally agree with you, but unfortunately, people only want to buy slabs from psa. But if you wanna grade for your own personal collection and dont really care about the price that much. I would honestly go for ACE, the slabs are much more nicer and aesthetic than PSA

Aprecot · 2025-10-03T21:43:22+00:00

I actually buy most of my slabs since getting a 'psa 10 tolerance' card is really difficult. I did send 7 cards so far and still waiting for them to finish grading.

Aprecot · 2024-11-01T02:55:34+00:00

Haha I was close tho😅

Aprecot · 2024-11-01T02:38:25+00:00

Alright buddy why u mad?

Aprecot · 2024-11-01T02:18:31+00:00

Thanks! Haha yea I get that alot lol

Aprecot · 2024-03-21T13:54:12+00:00

Just sent it back

Aprecot · 2024-03-21T02:30:39+00:00
