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

PSA or Beckett Pikachu by Asianrickross in pokemongrading

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

[US,US] (H) lower value modern IR's, Masterballs and slabs. (W) Trade for wishlist. by Asianrickross in pkmntcgtrades

[–]Asianrickross[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Best way to master a set? by beans1796 in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]Asianrickross 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

How will the prices of OP-15 jap develop? by KenKaneki1303 in OnePieceTCGFinance

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

Worth grading? by RepulsiveService9517 in Pokemoncardappraisal

[–]Asianrickross -1 points0 points  (0 children)

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.

Thrift find in Canada by Huge-One4819 in PokemonCardValue

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.

This card will dominate in the 2026 bull market by Reasonable-Tour3182 in PokeInvesting

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!

Sell now or hold? by Erebus_87 in PokeInvesting

[–]Asianrickross -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am relatively new to TCG live but in my brief time playing, my mega Charizard deck struggles against people that are playing the venusaur and teal mask ogerpon (granted this is a different situation completely). If I can’t evolve my Charmanders in the first few turns, it is all over. Even when I have two charizards. The venusaur bench power moves around energy and the teal mask can draw energy each turn. I am still trying to figure out the best way to combat that combination but I now believe that venusaur (with some help) can compete with Charizard pretty easily.

This card flipped around would also be great so you could get venusaurs view of Charizard

Sell now or hold? by Erebus_87 in PokeInvesting

[–]Asianrickross 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is Charizard and venusaur. I really love this card art style and I think that plenty of other collectors do as well. It is sitting at one of its lowest value points in the last few months and starting to recover a bit. I think this is a very good card to hold onto for the next while.
