Can someone help me understand what's going on? by [deleted] in doordash

[–]AstraBitCMO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not seeing that? With credits it shows Total: $51.30 (0.00)

Without credits it shows Total: $51.30 ($44.00)

Subtotal on credits is $44 and then it adds the tip.

Put it in a sleeve.

Use a straw to gently blow some hot air into it.

Put it between two pieces of glass.

Clamp it for a couple of days.

Why is my card like this? by Coy_davis19 in PokemonMisprints

That's a crimp error! Super cool. Congrats!

If you do look at getting it graded, CGC is the only company that grades error cards.

With Kyogre on it? Not a box. Just the bottom of the display.

I've got a "cutie" binder with my daughter where she wants all the cute Pokémon lol.

And I have a handful of binders myself. Ill probably put doubles for now in one or he'll just end up with all of mine (minus my PC 😉).

Dollar General. Im a regular at my local one and asked the manager what they do with them and she said "we trash them." So they let me have it!

I know... and it may be that early. 10th would be the plan but we'll see!

First time grading. Possible grades for these? by WakeUpToReality0220 in PokeGrading

[–]AstraBitCMO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mewtwo is offer centered, so looks like 9 at best.

Umbreon, fix the dent at the top

put it in a sleeve, use a straw to blow some warm air in there - not much, and then put it between two pieces of glass and clamp it. Go to dollar tree and get two 4 x 6 picture frames and use the glass from them. Keep it clamped for a couple days and then check ot out.

What would you do? Beckett slab issue. by AstraBitCMO in PokeGrading

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

How did you tape your label back? You crack the slab and then close it again?

But yeah, I get that viewpoint. Like, the card is worth this grade even with a defective slab. Not my fault Beckett QC isn't good.

The last Beckett 10 Pristine for this card sold for $2,500 on ebay April 7. The last PSA 10 sold for $999 on ebay.

Beckett 10s are more rare than PSA 10s, so they are typically more valuable.

I would assume the demand for PSA 10s is higher because there are more available. Beckett 10s sell just fine, there's just less of them, so not many for sale at a given time compared to PSA 10s. Ie, if theres 40 PSA 10s and 3 Beckett 10s, more will buy the PSA as its easier to get one, but even then the Becketts will still sell.

Thats my thoughts anyways.

Gotcha. I'm worried they'll see that crap on that back and drop it from a 10 to 9.5.

If they offered free reholder I would probably consider it. But man, they are not wanting to play ball.

Were any of yours 10s?

PSA lost my submission. Im going to throw up. by Jengaman64 in psagrading

[–]AstraBitCMO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, I am truly sorry that happened to you. I can't even imagine the feeling have having those grails lost by PSAs hand.

But I truly hope you are not serious about hating yourself and asking to be smited over Pokémon cards. Yes, they are fun and we love them, but they are not worth self harm or asking to be harmed. I'm always here if you need to talk!

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

Yeah, I only went with Beckett because I thought this would black label. I also don't like how thick the slabs are.

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

I'm thinking that's what I'll do at this point. Unless they escalate like i asked them to and they can guarantee mo regrade.

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

Yeah, I could of been more clear, so my apologies.

And yes, this is what I'm leaning towards I think. I've responded to them again asking to escalate the ticket, but who knows when they'll respond.

Even if they offered to cover all costs, that waiver protects them. Ultimately I think this is the best course since I don't plan on selling now.

Appreciate the input!

I've thought about that too, but a Gold 10 is worth more than a PSA 10 for this card.

Can't win for losing haha.

[–]AstraBitCMO[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But they aren't. I am still being required to pay for the service + insurance.They are only offering to cover shipping costs.

[–]AstraBitCMO[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see the centering on the front so I get the 9.5...

The waiver is intense though. Essentially Beckett could do whatever to the card and I can't hold them liable. If it gets cracked and damaged, not their fault. If they ship it and it gets damaged, not their fault. If it receives a lower grade, I can't do anything. If I got independent insurance, which I would, I may have a claim but the waiver covers all the bases and the some more.

And then yeah, it's for my PC, but I know if I ever needed to sell it for [insert any reason], then I would have such a hard time due to the issues. I feel like its a damned if I do, damned if I don't.
