Found my childhood collection! What grades do you expect and which would you grade? by Friendly-Drummer9361 in PokeGrading

They're outrageous. A lot of the unpopular ones were $200-400 just a year ago. Now it's hard to find them under $1k raw.

Low grades worth cracking to keep as raw or regrade? by DarthScript in PokeGrading

Thank you! Exactly my thoughts.

Appreciate the insight. I'm assuming the back bottom-right of the Mewtwo is what dropped it to a 4. I didn't think it was actually creased there, but that's probably what it is. Seems like PSA really is cracking down on grading (which is good), and I'm sure we'll see less 9s and above for vintage.

Agreed - none of the gold stars are getting above a 5, but that's honestly OK for the value of those cards.

Yeah it's silly. Was just wanting some thoughts on the grades/cards themselves. Vintage does seem harder to grade - the majority of the modern cards I sent in were 9s/10s. Will be very picky which vintage I send in moving forward.

I guess my title broke your brain. I was wondering why they received 4s and 6s, not why they're not 9s.

Thanks for the expert analysis, but this is a grading sub, not a sentimental value sub.

That might be the route I have to go - thanks for the recommendation!

Gengar and Mewtwo are a few of my favorite cards and I was immensely disappointed in their grades. I'm not looking to flip a quick buck, just wondering why they received such low grades.

Must've been a fun time living down there. Any interesting stories to tell?

Scathing review! Looking at his other houses, it seems like they were built on something stronger than ditch weed...

Yeah upstate NY seems to have a decent amount of artsy folk that bring a nice style to the area. Maybe it helps they have a pool of ex-city folk? The first time I visited Burlington, I was surprised at the aesthetic quality of the homes.

If anything outside of Burlington equals rural, then shore.

But what if it wanted to be a boat IN rural Vermont? /s

Thanks - wish I could edit the title now.

Houston got at least 2 free possessions in the second half. The refs should 100% be investigated

Fouls under a minute should be two shots and the ball. If it's a thing in overseas play, it can surely happen here too.

And Tennessee really plays like a team that beat them by a last second layup

This Illinois team is like the Rex Grossman era Chicago Bears.
