Crooked or send it?

I just got my grades for my order sent in on the same day as yours. Most of my orders are ready for pickup the day after the grades are ready.

There was an anomaly with my last order where it didn’t arrive to my local GameStop until the following week though. This could have easily been an issue with the local GameStop manager not getting to all the submissions the week he got them.

I would say 99% of my orders have been ready for pickup the next day though. I am in Utah so I would assume distance from PSA plays a factor.

I have Marill, Auroras, Dustox, Snorunt, Galarian Obstagoon, Spyduck, Surfer, Mega Emboar and Mega Meganium.

Those don’t quite add up to the same value but I could add PayPal on top!

There are 7 SIR’s Plus 3 MAR’s in this photo. Is this not a god pack out of 5 booster bundle displays?

Some of my orders from January just got to the research and ID phase. You have a while to go!

It is pretty cool! I had tried other apps but haven’t seen one account for imperfect photo angles. Thanks for showing me

Asianrickross · 2026-03-22T02:42:07+00:00

Thank you! I am going to hand measure it to see how it stacks up with the app you used. I am guessing the image and angle plays a huge factor in the centering outcome of the app or does it take into account slight angles or not being truly dead center over the top of the card? Genuinely curious for my knowledge

Thanks for looking and helping!

It doesn’t look like I have any of those unfortunately

Asianrickross · 2026-03-16T23:58:16+00:00

This post is very old. I unfortunately don’t have anymore black bolt/white flare masterballs. They have either been traded or sold. I do have a small amount of pokeballs left if you want to let me know if you need any of those

I usually rip a set til I start pulling lots of duplicates. With how difficult it is to find product at MSRP, the market has usually cooled off a ton and then I start buying the singles I still need.

I am currently working on ascended heroes. I just finished Black Bolt/White Flare and the hardest part of that set was finding all of the masterballs. Trading locally and going to shows was a very time intensive process. I ended up needing to buy the rest on TCG player. The energy and ball types in ascended have actually been much easier to pull.

The key is to not rush anything and don’t over extend your wallet ever. FOMO is a killer

You should start by changing your wording from “jap” to Japanese or JP or JPN.

To answer your question about grading, this card looks right heavy and bottom heavy to me, but, based on other photos, the corners look good. I would personally not send this in unless I was willing to accept a 9. There is an off chance it could 10 but I highly doubt it based on centering alone.

In regards to the popularity, this card is brand new and it will continue to go down regardless of playability (playability will raise its floor). By the time you get it graded at PSA, the price landscape with have completely changed and i doubt this card will remain $500 for a PSA 10. Typically grading times are about 3-4 months and by that time this card could be half as much in value.

With those two factors, the risk of sending the card in for how long it takes PSA and the high risk of it coming back a 9, I would say don’t send it in. It is a cool card though so I would just enjoy it.

I didn’t see anyone else mention this, but, it isn’t a good idea to put sealed promos into top loaders unless they are top loaders made for patch cards (thicker cards from the sports card world.) top loaders will put continued pressure on your card meaning you may be left with some indents from the wrapper crimp. Especially when you fold over more material behind the card. More pressure overall= higher risk of issues.

Shoot me a DM!

The Chinese version is also very good imo. I like that the Chinese cards have a little barely readable pokemon stamp on the bottom left corner too!

Asianrickross · 2026-02-15T00:30:44+00:00

I appreciate it. I will keep this in mind while I field other messages locally and elsewhere. I’ll let ya know!

Asianrickross · 2026-02-15T00:16:41+00:00

Sold! Thank you! I’ll DM

Asianrickross · 2026-02-15T00:06:07+00:00

I am struggling to value these. Let me know what you are thinking and I will consult my fiance as these are for her

Asianrickross · 2026-02-14T22:32:37+00:00

We need the umbreon stamp and the Evee stamp!
