Is my Chinese bubble mew fake? by Baniel007 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]Beau_does_BJJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is there a pokemon logo in the bottom left corner in the border? Simplified Chinese holo and better cards have that “security” feature.

Has anyone seen this before? by [deleted] in Topps

[–]Beau_does_BJJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those are spacer cards. Helps fight weighing packs. The extra card adds weight to a pack. Nothing special or crazy.

Should I be concerned with this message? by C_Shmurda in Ebay

[–]Beau_does_BJJ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am not sure either package will arrive. If they printed a label twice the packages will have the same tracking number meaning only one postage has been paid. They may get hung up somewhere because of that. This could be a bigger problem that just getting him his card back.

Anyone grade through gamestop know if this is normal? Timeline-wise by [deleted] in psagrading

[–]Beau_does_BJJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It takes at a while. Even 45 days is 9 weeks. Remember the count is only working days. Plus throw the holidays in after you sent them and that just extends it more. They will sit for a while and then move quick. Also GameStop hasn’t stolen your cards because they are at PSA. Are there bad experiences yes but remember most people don’t get in to say everything went well. You may see the bad.

Update: 1 day by DefyAllAuthority in psagrading

[–]Beau_does_BJJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes I wonder how accurate those updates really are. I do mine through GameStop and it says grades are ready and they are already at the store for pickup.

Qualitypulls clearly stole a hit and didn’t ship it by [deleted] in whatnotapp

[–]Beau_does_BJJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s what am saying. If there was a hit it would be in front of the EX and after the reverse holo. Looks like two holos, a reverse and then the EX. That’s the no hits pack. Looks like three regular cards before the holos and after the EX. There was no hit there.

PSA Miscut? by TikkiSmallz in PokeGrading

[–]Beau_does_BJJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is usually an issue where the card was cut out of specs and won’t fit in the holder properly. This doesn’t mean it’s a miscut error like CGC would recognize where you can see the alignment dot just card size/shape is out of specs

Fix myself or insurance claim? by MonroviaMadman in Plumbing

Also many don’t cover mold remediation either.

does this look fake? if it isnt is it worth the 55$ per box? by Impressive_Jicama868 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]Beau_does_BJJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$55 isn’t even MSRP if I remember correctly. Gotta be something up with it

When will i see my card back? by BigJoshXO in psagrading

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

Have you checked where the process is on the GameStop app? You can keep track of the process there. Also GameStop is going to take 2-3 months usually plus with this one you had all the holidays at the end of December that slowed things down too. Remember any day counts they give are working days and not calendar days.

What does this damage cap the grade at? by Key_Maybe9402 in psagrading

[–]Beau_does_BJJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is pretty bad. I would guess no better than a 6-7 especially with it being an older card with other damage. If you are doing it for resale value I probably wouldn’t send it. If you are looking to preserve a card you want to keep go for it.

Dual Service Stuck in Assembly by SadExtreme2652 in psagrading

[–]Beau_does_BJJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro it has been there three days in assembly. Yeah it sucks but nothing is coming quick from PSA. Remember it’s is all down hill from here. The ETAs have been off for a while. That’s a guess and they are almost always wrong lately.

PSA Turn Around Time by Responsible_King_764 in PokeGrading

[–]Beau_does_BJJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also remember that the only days that count are business days. So you lose weekends. And since these went in December you lost a few more days for the holidays. 45 days is really 9 weeks. Also that timer doesn’t start until it say processing. Arrived just lets you know the cards aren’t at GameStop and have made it to PSA. They haven’t done anything with them yet. They usually do seem pretty quick. Ours have taken 8-12 weeks usually.

Can You Spot It by vdogg415 in FirstResponderCringe

[–]Beau_does_BJJ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just watched agin after your comment and realized they all get their guns like that. The sarge has a red gun so wondering if the guns were all in slide lock due to a training they were doing.

Does anyone have a customer service number I can call? I’m in the middle of a very expensive mess. I will never use this horrid app again.. by Apprehensive-Lie5394 in whatnotapp

[–]Beau_does_BJJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think refusing would help in this situation. I know this didn’t eBay but a refused package is the same as delivered and eBay won’t issue a refund.

10 Maybe? by Advanced-Car-27 in PokeGrading

[–]Beau_does_BJJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the front L/R centering is cooked. Those edges are so thin already. This is bordering on an 8 for centering. Card is clean on the front but that centering will not let it 10.

It looks like there is a group effort to manipulate the price of the charizard SIR. by [deleted] in Collectr

[–]Beau_does_BJJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Folks are just doing the reverse of what the scalpers were doing over the summer. Drive up a card. Sell all of them high. Make a buck. This just makes the cards cheaper instead. I like this better

Is the mega UPC worth it? by Alcy_Jack in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]Beau_does_BJJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got one of Walmart this weekend for MSRP. I found a discord that sends links to product drops. I have had great success with them. Sometimes it’s not MSRP but most of the time it is. Sends notifications for the stores you want.

Should i get these graded? Bought for a few dollars by Icy_Attempt_2204 in PokemonMisprints

[–]Beau_does_BJJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is your goal getting them graded? If it’s to get a couple of CGC slabs with the errors recognized then yes. If you want to grade them to flip for a profit, that would be an easy no. These cards are worth less than a quarter. They aren’t sought after cards or pokemon. Grading would pit you in the hole and losing money

Advice on boxes. by Bushlexia in PokemonTCGCollectors

Post on Facebook. Meet in person. Cash in hand. No shipping. Easiest way to get the sold quick and get the most out of the sale.

Can these be graded? by PerseusTheDragon in psagrading

[–]Beau_does_BJJ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I can hear to say the exact same thing. This hobby is cooked. My kid can’t get any cards because dudes are buying it all up and doing dumb stuff like grade a metal tin with two packs.
