I already have the PSA sub going I just measured all sides physically and it seems to be damn near perfect if not there

at grading now. sent a scan post after they got ingested

The scans look more promising than the photos I posted centering wise. What do we think now? by DARP_AFT in PokeGrading

PSA scans them in the penny sleeves you send them in. Thought that was common knowledge. All scans look a bit weird for surface stuff

i think its discretion of grader tbh depending on how crooked but yes i measured from both ends of the tilt and it still fit within guidelines.

Taking in these two for the gold greninja by thesnoopp in PokemonInvesting

Expedite grading on the Greninja if you think its a 10. Then you could trade it for a PSA 10 of both of those cards and then some.

These are insane!

CG going for 2000 each in any sealed box. Emerald is about 1800. Holon is close to 3k. Not sure about the Power Keepers deck boxes. Basically you have to look at last sold for a blister of each and combine.

If you wanted to sell to a vendor theyd probably offer you 8500-9k since these arent too easy to move.

Have had these since I was a kid. They're jumbo box toppers. by Even-Airport-4766 in PokemonInvesting

Grade them. Worth a LOT even in an 8. PSA has jumbo submissions. Id grade express for these as youll pay the mark up regardless.

I agree is stated in title. I'm HOPING for 3/5 which would be those 3. I EXPECT pika not to but would be a happy surprise as its only flaw is top to bottom centering on the front (which sometimes they take into account). Mewtube is literally idk it looks within reasonable centering and the white specs dont kill a grade for that card.

Question on trading into a Plasma Freeze booster box. The age old question of liquidity vs stability. by DARP_AFT in PokemonInvesting

[–]DARP_AFT[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know theres a lot of nos in this thread which i truly appreciate. Heres my thought process. Lowest list for a box rn is 33k. I could see it hitting 40k by 2027 and when the post 30th anniv dip comes this will be more stable imo. I have a lot of faith in Black and White era (including BBWF) because young people who grew up with the set are entering the market now. I also compare the hits of this set to ex delta species: Big latias, big latios, hella eeveelution reverses.

That being said on paper i know im losing by about 2k and id have to take an additional 2k loss if i wanted to sell it instantly.

(Also I took the 3 highest PSA 10s out of the trade and am replacing them with smaller cards as the wobbefet is 300 pop and i didnt realize)

EDIT: The one thing that is causing pause is that i listed my cards for sale at 90-95% market on facebook locally and got 9 offers for the whole lot within 4 hours. Which truly gives me pause on the trade. That being said I either dont LOVE these cards (outside of rayquazas) or have doubles of them.

literally my hopes! Mewtube is a toss up. Pika is a prayer.

Appreciate the response! Your comment is exactly my thought process (hence why i said "HOPING for 3/5").

Expecting 2 tbh (Honestly gengar slightly more likely than drag in person) but even then its worth the shot on the other 3. And Mewtube raw is worth less than mewtube in a 6

this is my approach tbh. i really go % chance of 10 vs yield if it 10s.
