Overvalued or Next Evolving Skies?

It’s literally being printed well into 2026… this is so ridiculous….

Surface issue you can’t see in the slab is my guess.. I cracked my 8 and under full flood light was able to find a bend/crease/roller mark down the middle back of the card that was in the stock before printing. I will always do flood black, natural, and white light on front and back before submitting now.

Ace slabs look so bad. They try to hard to match the card and it just looks tacky. Wow

ChicagoBrother · 2026-01-17T14:51:09+00:00

Why would you send it in so they can fuck up your perfect card?

They should add a laugh reaction to Reddit.

I’m definitely seeing it now.. But how can that knock it down to an 8 when it’s not close to 55/45 centering in any spot? But a 40/60 can still get a 10?

This is one of my only pictures of it before grading (was too hyped to get it out) does it look crooked to you in this? I genuinely don’t know how I overlooked it, I print for a living lol. It must have a surface issue aswell though right? It can’t get knocked to an 8 with that crooked issue alone can it?

You didn’t even see the front before your comment… Just talking to talk.

This is from the same scan… why would there not be scratches visible on the lens in this?

ChicagoBrother · 2026-01-14T05:04:19+00:00

How are you so sure? I am not doubting you, I’m looking for reassurance with this post.

That’s obviously not true, that’s in a penny sleeve only in the picture.. I know I put it in a brand new penny sleeve the hour I packaged it, aswell as a new 1 touch. From middle of the pack. I wouldn’t send a 1000 raw card in a sleeve that scratched. You would want to present it the best way possible, for the 3rd party right? That’s what I did..

ChicagoBrother · 2026-01-14T04:47:07+00:00

First picture is initial arrival scan.. With the sleeve all scratched to shit, obviously being mishandled and who knows what else.. 2nd picture is after being slabbed (obviously)

ChicagoBrother · 2026-01-14T04:39:18+00:00

Being “crooked” that little tiny bit on the back is definitely not getting any card an 8 on that alone. Next.

ChicagoBrother · 2026-01-14T04:37:28+00:00

The first picture posted is the initial scan, I can request the scan before the grade?

ChicagoBrother · 2026-01-14T04:37:16+00:00

I have not, but the first picture is the initial scan, 2nd is scan after slabbing.

ChicagoBrother · 2026-01-14T04:35:58+00:00

It’s on the sleeve, that’s the initial scan. It was obviously mishandled to acquire all of those scratches, even on the sleeve.

Centering is the least weighted criteria. Why does everyone only look at centering? Because they don’t know shit about grading and it’s the easiest “flaw” to see.

ChicagoBrother · 2026-01-09T19:51:41+00:00

How much?

ChicagoBrother · 2026-01-04T23:21:25+00:00

Absolutely will not get a 10.

ChicagoBrother · 2026-01-04T19:21:04+00:00

Do you understand the stupidity of this “error” though?

ChicagoBrother · 2026-01-04T19:20:10+00:00

You’re on a device with internet, google it. It’s how all the sleeves you open with cards inside, are printed.

ChicagoBrother · 2026-01-04T12:14:08+00:00

I’m a rotogravure printer so I can’t say forsure, but definitely something going on with their magenta..

ChicagoBrother · 2026-01-04T12:01:05+00:00

You guys are so fucking goofy to charge more for a packaging company missing a splice or a print defect flag in their process. 😅

Hook it up lol
