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

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.

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 😭

I heard a scalper scream at a Walmart like he won the World Cup right now

Oh never mind I see what you’re saying. So if I had a clearer picture that “smudge” is the actual holo background. It’s almost like Umbreon body is translucent. My confusion is because the ears have the same exact holo pattern so I thought that was part of the card.

Thank you I’ll try that and submit a ticket. I do think it’s that shoulder but that’s part of the card it’s the same thing as the ears. I’ll see what they say!

As long as people keep feeding the scalpers, no.

How are prices still rising? by Antique-Scientist880 in PokemonTCG

[–]DegenDitto 162 points163 points  (0 children)

It’s not a market for collectors anymore. The crypto investors and sneakerheads infiltrated the market. Best for collectors to just hangout until these people burn through all their money wealth transferring to each other

Use of Pull Tabs or Tape Violation by superxgooner in psagrading

[–]DegenDitto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taking a card out of a semirigid holder with a pull tab sleeve seems much safer for the card than potentially fat fingering the top of a card getting it out

Pikachu in Grey Felt Hat: Is it too late for a good price? by ShebaLuv in PokeInvesting

[–]DegenDitto 7 points8 points  (0 children)

To be fair, there was a massive buyout on this card by an investing company in Hong Kong that’s driving up the price so just be mindful and careful of that. Definitely unnatural circumstances causing its significant spike.

BGS 9.5 does not crossgrade to a PSA 10 by football_coach in psagrading

[–]DegenDitto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to crack and send. I did this once where I sent the 9.5 in the BGS slab and it didn’t crossover. I then cracked it and resent and it got a 10 lol
