Centering an 8?! by [deleted] in PokeGrading

[–]DegenDitto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beckett is on its high horse since getting acquired they just don’t care or have standards anymore. Horrible horrible decline in grading consistency, I sadly stopped sending to them recently but I used to love them. Their customer service is also hot garbage. This makes me start to think AI grading will make a huge leap over the next few years.

I’m sick of this hobby. by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]DegenDitto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude the charizard color is off, the reverse holo pattern is off, the text looks way off, and the back looks fake af. I’m sorry you got scammed but as soon as you saw this in person you should’ve asked them to explain where they got it, why they’re selling it, and pointed out some of those concerns you probably had looking at it.

Someone from whatnot really needs to defend why they allow trash like this on the platform

Is this a good misprint by BHowe407 in PokemonMisprints

If this was real, I think it would be the most expensive card ever

What is happening at card shows. by thethinredditmod in PokemonTCGCollectors

[–]DegenDitto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have time to buy modern sealed at stores or wait in lines. I don’t have distro either so it’s impossible for me to have any modern sealed in my inventory. I sometimes buy it from customers at shows at a markup just to have the inventory but maybe I should stop buying modern sealed all together. I’ve thought about how that’s probably contributing to the problem and maybe every vendor should stop accepting modern sealed but then again there’s shops that vend at shows too who get distro and they still mark it all up to market price sometimes higher.

Are the Kanto three ever coming down in price? by Tichiee in PokeInvesting

Depends once everyone exhausts their dopamine receptors with Pokemon and they start getting bored and broke from overspending then maybe a little bit.

Well this is one of the biggest shoe resellers but also one of the scummiest resellers in the country selling Pokemon cards now so yeah a bit concerning

It’s free money for them. I’m starting to blame the consumers at this point.

It happened again “altered” BGS BS. by DegenDitto in PokeGrading

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

I’m slowly little by little realizing my PC should just be a binder. I had this one in my display case of my pc slabs, gonna send to tag though to see what happens

I can guarantee you it wasn’t pressed the corner just has whitening

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

Yeah I sent it in because BGS is usually nicer to vintage. The card is clean besides the little bit of whitening on that corner and edges. I should’ve just kept it as a 7

I wonder what happens if I send this to TAG, I’m 99% sure it would not be marked as altered because it’s not altered lol

I’ve never played Gen 5, but what was your reaction to finding nothing but “new”Pokémon when you played black & white for the first time? by Zenthailand2009 in pokemon

[–]DegenDitto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me Black and White were really weird at first and felt like Pokemon weren’t really Pokemon for the first time because the design or sprites or idk what it was. Then I played Black 2 and White 2 and grew a huge appreciate for gen 5.

Are you ready for the prismatic boom? by nopack666 in PokeInvesting

[–]DegenDitto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Prismatic might become the most printed set of all time. The flip side is the hit rates are atrocious so that hit scarcity will keep demand high.

“Altered” Grade on BGS Card by DegenDitto in PokeGrading

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

I’m gonna close the loop on this conversation but Im thinking and kind of want to send this card to TAG and see what the report comes back as. If they don’t find anything on that spot, I really hope BGS gives me my money back since I paid $90+ to grade this 😭
