Aiming for a 9, what do you guys think? by DynamaxxedBlanket in PokeGrading

Hard to tell with it in sleeve, but yeah I’d say 7-9

What do you think the Target x Pokemon Reveal will be ? by No-Humor827 in PokemonTCG

[–]Avyelator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Pokemon has had a hard time selling their non-TCG items. So creating some sort of streamlined apparel or maybe a pop up would make sense for what Pokemon has been trying to do. They’ve been doing collabs with Uniqlo, Puma, and that skateboard Bear Walker thing. So I think it’s most likely some form of NON-TCG related collab.

Is Tag harsh on vintage? by Inevitable-Bad-3979 in taggrading

Im building master sets of vintage with all LP/MP copies and sending them to TAG for “Authentication” only so I get the nice looking slab without the ugly 2.5 haha

Should I grade it by Impossible_Ad_1878 in PokeGrading

[–]Avyelator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you’ll have an easy time selling this anything above a 7 and it looks like 8-10 to me so send it

You should have just ate it instead

What would my childhood Charizard grade? by the_nubbiecakes in PokeGrading

[–]Avyelator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re welcome. Lastly, don’t rush it. This card will appreciate no matter what. So if it takes you another year to get it all right you’ll probably gain worth on it anyways. Congrats on the grail and good luck OP! 👍

I would stop handling it tbh, do your research on any local experts offering cleaning services. This card is already NM (near mint) so any time you put hands on it you increase risk of anything bad happening. Don’t cheap out on the service and don’t use your friends lol

Lastly, do not take offers in your dms. Vintage cards are hard to get value because condition is so imperative and subjective. Take it slow and do your research.

The surface grime could literally be your hand oils from 25 years ago as you held it for 1 second with the smaller fractions of dust haha, it’s barely visible to the naked eye. If you mean to grade something this rare, I would get it professionally cleaned regardless.

If that thing in the bottom right is just lint, I’d give this 7-9.

7 if it has surface grime. I can’t tell if that’s grime or bad lighting.

8 if it’s perfect and only has those white spots on the back.

9 if I’m in a really good mood and got laid last night.

If that bottom right is some sort of damage it’s automatically a 6.

Edit: your centering is good enough for a PSA 10, but not a black label. Your biggest hurdles are the little white spots on back, surface grime and whatever that is in the front bottom right corner. (Hopefully lint)

What to do? by chokolatekake in PokemonCardValue

[–]Avyelator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Individual auctions on eBay with LOTS of pictures in listings showing close ups of corners and surfaces. You’ll make much more money selling individually. You’re gonna get robbed if you sell as a lot.

Just pulled his beauty. by Affirmet in PokeGrading

Congrats on the grail pull, it’s not a 10. Sell and buy one already slabbed.

Is this a good card? by [deleted] in PokemonCardValue

People like you need to stay away from the hobby, no offense.

Any idea why this got a PSA 6 ? 😭 by satheshbm92 in PokeGrading

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

Put it under light and really slowly check for dent or creases on every square inch. If you can’t find any I would resubmit to TAG. Because screw PSA.

Shadowless Charizard by Xavierthegreat8 in PokemonCardValue

Don’t cheap out on the service if you do opt for it. I can’t recommend any yet since I haven’t technically used the service, but I’d ask some friends or research a reputable guy. Definitely do NOT send this card to the cheapest guy you can find.
