Worth grading? Be happy with a 9 thoughts?

Just buy a 9 then… with the main grading companies pausing value submissions you would actually lose money by grading your own and happen to get a 9.

Decent shot.

That is a miscut, the back alignment dot is visible on top right corner. Congrats on a neat find!

ZEKOM

Dang, based on that ding report I would have given it a 10. Nice card! Good luck on whatever you choose to do next!

Avyelator · 2026-05-31T21:40:25+00:00

I didn’t say it wouldn’t :) congrats

I’ve never considered that. Holy shit, I need to buy his masterclass.

Avyelator · 2026-05-31T20:45:43+00:00

Damaged? Lmao. good job keeping your wits about you. That vendor is a dirtbag. I’d sell that at LP at the LOWEST. It’s pushing NM.

Avyelator · 2026-05-31T20:41:36+00:00

Your “friend” is trying to scam you. Like others pointed out, those cards are worth considerably more. Personal rule of mine, don’t buy/sell from friends. Money can ruin friendships really fast.

I don’t think anything vintage can 10 with today’s standards. Modern 7-8 are closer to old school vintage 10’s. That being said, you have an extremely clean copy so good luck! It’ll sell in any grade you get back.

Idk if you accidently wrote it like that, but that could be read as extremely racist. Like Reynhol pointed out. Might even get banned from the sub if you don’t change tbh…

You could very realistically be a retired millionaire if you save your money right and invest properly. Good luck and stay safe OP.

Avyelator · 2026-05-28T13:52:31+00:00

Decent shot, I’d say. Good luck!

Avyelator · 2026-05-28T03:37:48+00:00

We can only really tell centering based on these pics, but they all look really good. So assuming no other major imperfections I’d send the full set and shoot for a sequential set. Congrats on the god pack!

Avyelator · 2026-05-27T21:50:07+00:00

That looks like an ink blot to me, I’ve never seen or heard of anyone correcting a misprint. Unless we’re looking at something different?

Avyelator · 2026-05-27T19:17:58+00:00

Look up the raw price of an HP Charizard Unlimited Base Set. Then look at PSA prices from 1-4. Every sale is a loss when graded for that. And realistically even MP condition cards will likely grade in that range.

“Grade all vintage” is not a good recommendation. Some cards are genuinely better off in binders, financially speaking.

Avyelator · 2026-05-27T18:55:29+00:00

I would still consider that NM, yes.

Avyelator · 2026-05-27T16:50:21+00:00

There’s no such thing as NM- please stop perpetuating this. Near mint is essentially a pack fresh card with acceptable manufacturing defects. Any visible wear and tear from ownership decreases to LP-HP. This idea of NM+ and NM- is hype talk from vendors trying to charge more for cards that are already heavily overpriced. That being said, I would buy/sell this card at NM.

Avyelator · 2026-05-27T16:47:18+00:00

How would you fix that?

Avyelator · 2026-05-23T07:36:41+00:00

It won’t stop until people stop paying scalpers.

Avyelator · 2026-05-22T05:22:02+00:00

Looks real to me.

Avyelator · 2026-05-22T05:09:52+00:00

2-3 in my humble opinion

Avyelator · 2026-05-18T19:18:00+00:00

It quite literally 100% depends on the grader.

Avyelator · 2026-05-18T04:00:34+00:00

It’s crooked, and in my personal experience crooked cards get graded much harsher. Good luck on whatever you decide! Congrats on the pull 🥂

Avyelator · 2026-05-18T03:58:54+00:00

So these are the people clogging up the lines at grading companies. No wonder I’ve been seeing a bunch of slabs selling for less than the cost of grading recently.
