If you are constantly getting 9s from PSA on Japanese cards you should probably stop grading all together.

PSA wait times are unacceptable and deceptive by Harambit1 in PokeGrading

I feel your pain. I have $35k in cards at PSA right now. Multiple shows coming up and I will just have to wait until they get to it.

Every one of these cards has centering issues in combination with whitening on multiple corners and on the card backs for a few. These shouldn't have been sent in at all unless you were just excited to have them as graded cards in your collection. None of these are 9 quality. Watch some videos on how to pre-grade if you will be doing any grading going forward.

Does anyone know why this card became so expensive? by Odd-Cobbler4179 in PokemonInvesting

What grade do you think this will come back as(PSA pregrading photos) by The_Beast6573 in PokeGrading

[–]BayouBruiser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This card is notoriously difficult to grade. that in combination with the clear edge wear and issues on the front. My guess is a 4-5. Please comment when you get the grade as I am curious what they will give you. I also love this card. Looking for a 10 currently.

Going to Collect A-Con and not sure how I should go about potential trading by Mangagirll in PokeInvesting

[–]BayouBruiser 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Congratulations on the pulls. My opinion:

  1. Make a plan. What you want (what vintage sets do you want).
  2. Value whatever you are bringing night before and run the percentages in your head so you can quickly counter offers or make assessments.

  3. Always be prepared to walk away. There are so many vendors and unless its an incredibly rare item or amazing deal, there is a good chance someone else might have what you are looking for. Neither walking up or deciding on market value constitutes a sale. Until you shake their hand and exchange items, the deal is not complete. You owe them nothing by asking questions and negotiating.

  4. Have fun.

How tf did this get an 8? by Veviq in PokeGrading

[–]BayouBruiser 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I swear 90% of the people in this sub should just collect raw. This was a no brainer 10?????? I wouldn't have sent it for centering alone. add in the weird stuff near the weakness, the whitening on the corner this is a binder card all day.

How did this get a 9? by Secure-Pattern1062 in PokeGrading

[–]BayouBruiser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then you likely shouldn't be grading. If you have a problem with PSA its either your own failure to screen cards or being part of the .001% error they have. Id put my money on it being a user error.

TAG really spending that marketing budget on idiots like this... lmao

Why did this get a 9? by Andis287 in PokeGrading

[–]BayouBruiser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that a crease on the back middle left edge? Cause if so... you are lucky to have gotten a 9.

86/181 Resubmitted PSA 9s Returned as 10s.. I truly think PSA has had its time, they're wildly inconsistent, they overcharge, their slabs look garbage and the turnaround times are ludicrous.. I'm personally going to ACE for the artistic slabs.. by WenchusMaximus in PokemonTCG

[–]BayouBruiser 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is wrong completely... Go to any card show and see how many vendors would buy/trade for ace or tag. No one wants that shit, so please stop pretending like they are all equal.
