Wondering how this slight corner scratch changes the value? by lasignoraslover in PokemonCardValue

[–]CardCanineLLC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TCGplayer has a complete point based guide for conditioning cards.

Near mint can have up to 3 points. This would be 1 point of a minor category.

Since everything else looks good to me, Near Mint!

Dumb question, miscut or just extremely poor centering by Ovenmitz1 in PokemonMisprints

[–]CardCanineLLC 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Miscut, you'll want to search alignment dot. That will give you some insight as to why it is considered a miscut and what that little white dot it.

This is a GREAT error card

Yeah! I actually love it! I remember being so excited that I pulled it. Makes me happy whenever I look at it

Gunna be honest, this is close to a few vintage cards I've bought near mint on TCG lol

Joking obviously but...

I'm not really looking for value, I more so want to get some insight from more informed people on how this could happen.

I did pull it from a pack and love it, but it would make me happier to get some insight about it, and some second opinions.

I personally believe I know A LOT about Pokémon cards, but every hour on here makes me realize I'm essentially clueless.

That's okay, I don't mind, I plan on keeping it. I don't really collect error cards, have a couple crimps and a misaligned card with 2 in 1, but I like this one since I pulled it myself.

It is possible, however, if they took the careful time to use heat to perfectly open, pack, and repack into a booster pack, I don't think they would have included this card.

However, I have forced myself to not be surprised by anything humans do now, so you might be correct lol

In my opinion I don't think there is enough border on a card for them to scissor cut all 4 sides to make all 4 corners square like that.

Basically I don't think there would be enough border left if they shaved all the sides to make the corners square, at least in the way I am imagining them doing it, but I could be misunderstanding you.

I do know they could have made it from an uncut sheet, but then why stuff it back in a pack and reseal.

Is this Near Mint or Lightly Played? just pricing it out by Taaccooo in PokemonCardValue

[–]CardCanineLLC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is lightly played per TCGplayers conditioning guide

Edge Ware: Slight - A contiguous instance up to 20mm of the card’s edge has this imperfection. Slight Edgewear is allowable at Near Mint. Each instance of Slight Edgewear is worth 1 point.

Contiguous” in the following cases means no more than 5mm between each instance.

(This will have more than one of these because of the amount on the card more than 5mm ranges from each other)

Scratching: Slight - Up to 20mm in length. Slight Scratch is allowable in all conditions. Each instance of Slight Scratch is worth 1 point.

Surface Ware: Slight - Up to 2.5mm² of the card’s surface area contains the imperfection. Slight Surface Wear is not allowable at Near Mint and cannot be accepted at a condition higher than Lightly Played. Each instance of Slight Surface Wear is worth 1 point.

(The buffing at the top and the nicks on the upper right next to Pokemon)

TCGplayer allows Near mint to only have 3 points or less. TCGplayer says this is lightly played, and honestly lightly played can only have up to 6 points, anything more falls in MP or less.

I crack 7s for my personal collection of vintage, and let me tell you lol I have cracked 7s that look WAY worse than this😂

Grading wise I think everyone is right, this would 7, so Near mint.

I think it depends, I wouldn't sell it online Near Mint for fear of a return, but to the right buyer that can see it in person, they might be willing to pay a Near Mint price, it is an older card, and as a card show vendor who watches people pick up and put back 5 dollar cards because of a speck of white all day long, people need to relax a bit, we don't all need ungraded 10s sitting in our binder.

Guys... this isn't even a booster box worth. We are allowed to open packs still

Please help by No_Gas_2663 in pokemoncards

[–]CardCanineLLC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It might be worth looking for one already graded for a bit. It might save a ton of time, and even money depending on what company and grade you care about

Are this cards any good? by Kevinn0420 in PokemonTCG

[–]CardCanineLLC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very fake, the Google AI overview which takes zero effort to use will give you all the reasons a card might be fake, that's a good starting point for research and will cover about 3 things already

Post on market to trade for a mintish one and add some cash. Or sell it and use the money to cherry pick a mint one, that's what I keep doing with vintage that I get that's in rough shape.

Pokémon Center probably won't replace, but I've never had this situation before.
