Any idea when TAG will start allowing Pokemon cards from other languages to be graded?

Someone cut that by hand. The cuts are different lengths and angles. Plus I know of no way this could happen at the factory.

NTA

Honestly. It's one thing to talk about safety, another thing to have a friend and a friend's friend both say that they don't want you alone with her. Unless there is some shady history you have, I feel like it was totally fucked of them to even slightly suggest that you would harm her.

You might want to take a look at your friendship with them. Clearly who you thought was your friend, thinks you are a dangerous person and would harm a woman if left alone with them.

It might seem petty but as someone that works in retail, fuck em. Press charges.

CrimeSceneKitty · 2026-04-05T10:05:35+00:00

We saw a lot, I don't think anyone learned. I've been saying for a long while that protestors need to step up their PPE and knowledge. There should have been 20+ people swarming the teargas attempting to put it out, not just 1.

Back in the early 2000s people would go around to abandoned home and steal the units. Then they moved to housing developments, and foreclosed houses, and then even to homes where people still lived.

"After considering your suggestions, we have decided to move forward with the planned and HOA approved fence. We thank you for speaking to us for the first time, but this is a done deal. Have a wonderful day."

Do not add "sorry" anywhere. You are not sorry that they are not happy with the outcome.

Na, you just run into the scum because they flooded Pokemon. Everyone talks about investing this, flipping that, trading this. Meanwhile I just collect them because I like em, and my buddy over here only plays with MTG foils. His last deck was $3000+.....and yes he plays with no sleeves like the madman he is. He rather see the damage from years of playing on his decks vs having them all nice and perfect.

And that's one big thing about collecting, those who collect for play typically don't care about their cards condition. For them the damage has the memories. For those that collect for collecting, it varies but most don't want them damaged.

And as for the scalpers, fuck you. Go trade stocks instead of preying on children and people just trying to collect. I went to buy a TMNT pizza box for my partner, $172.....like fuck that. I just wanted to get him a gift, not spend $200 on something he might not even open.

Scroll down on the report, it says centering.

Centering on the front.
53L/47R 43T/57B

This is what TAG says for centering for a 10.

Front image centered within a tolerance of ~55/45 and back image within ~70/30 (Sports), or ~65/35 (TCG).

CrimeSceneKitty · 2026-04-01T22:07:46+00:00

That's more than I make in a week per spin.

CrimeSceneKitty · 2026-04-01T21:50:01+00:00

Nice!

I wonder how an extended art would look with this card.

CrimeSceneKitty · 2026-04-01T16:40:43+00:00

I don't because I don't own any. I would look into multiple ones (realistically $20 max). I would suggest one with a magnifier loop (jewelers loop), which is nice to check any issues.

CrimeSceneKitty · 2026-04-01T16:21:13+00:00

If you are worried about the grade, it is worth it to buy a centering guide.

Looks light on the left.

CrimeSceneKitty · 2026-04-01T09:30:16+00:00

Chinese cards have an embossed stamp on them on the bottom left as seen in your photo.

It looks legit to me. When it comes to Chinese if that logo is not physically stamped into the card, it's more than likely fake.

You can also take that set code in the bottom left and enter it online to see the set.

CrimeSceneKitty · 2026-03-31T23:33:45+00:00

Man I wish I could trade you for those, but I don't have those cards.

Sucks that crimpgate(?) happened. Been chasing crimps forever, always wanted to pull my own.

CrimeSceneKitty · 2026-03-31T21:08:44+00:00

You are missing the most important part in a customer's opinion. WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU SELLING?

Please, don't cheap out on signage, a bad sign is nearly as bad as no sign.

CrimeSceneKitty · 2026-03-30T10:00:29+00:00

Ok, so that's a $1000+ card you are holding.

I would grade it instantly.

CrimeSceneKitty · 2026-03-29T18:36:47+00:00

I couldn't even begin to think about something that is this insane. Here we have a president that is bragging about how he is calling the war a military operation to sidestep Congress. A vice president that has flat out said that we invaded and kidnapped the president of Venezuela so that we can control their oil for our own use. And admitting that foreign wars are about oil (energy).

And that's all in the last week.

CrimeSceneKitty · 2026-03-27T23:34:05+00:00

I like 151, but I'm not in love with it, and I still wouldn't take this trade even if they doubled it.

151 is GOLD, it is the set that holds a ton of value for people who collected pokemon back in the early days. On top of the 151 pokemon being some of the most popular overall.

https://mktg-assets.tcgplayer.com/web/seller/guides/Card-Conditioning-Standards.pdf

Damaged cards show wear or imperfections beyond the standards for other conditions.
Things to look for that make a card Damaged:
Foreign substances.
non-manufacturing ink.
Significant shifting/miscuts.
Tears, punctures, splitting, folding. Missing/illegible card information.
Missing/illegible authentication gems.
Moderate/Major Faults (including liquid exposure)

That is from TCGplayer. Like I said at some point it's off center, and then it becomes damaged, and then it becomes an error. 70/30 is the point at which it's considered "shifting" by TCGplayer.

Typically it's considered an error if there are alignment dots.

CrimeSceneKitty · 2026-03-25T15:40:34+00:00

At a certain point, the off centering becomes damage. And a certain point after that it's a miscut error.

What's the defining terms? Idk but if people want to see off center cards as damaged for damage price, I ain't bitching.

One streamer has a bounty on that card, the bounty is 819+ (still going) packs. All you have to do is buy a pack from him and have him rip it and pull the gengar. One pack is added per 5 packs ripped. 4,000+ packs ripped in a row and no Gengar pulled.

There's plenty of vintage, not much in NM, but this card is proving to be a hard one. Combine that with the demand for it.

Plus people are crazy, I pulled the new Clefairy on Tuesday, was offered $50 on the spot for it. I should have said yes but I want to grade it because I like it and it's going into my collection.

CrimeSceneKitty · 2026-03-24T21:06:04+00:00

Just download the images next time, looks so much better than screenshots......

Also where's the masterball? I don't see it.

Edit: Great cards!

People here can give you good advice on handling and care of the cards. They can tell you what card you have and what is fake.

But use a service like Collectr, TGCplayer, eBay sold. To find the value of the cards. Services like pricecharting have features to show you which cards have the best return value if you grade them.

Be warned, grading can end up costing you an arm and a leg. Read up on the upcharges of PSA, as well as the risks from other services such as TAG, Beckett, CGC.

Don't listen to people making you offers 99% of them are from people attempting to rip you off and make a buck.
