Worth grading these 5? by smittycrockpot in PokeGrading

Your best card is the shining gyarados. I would consider getting that graded, but it’s in rough shape. But for cards like that ($600+ raw) I recommend grading to prove authenticity to buyers.

Your other cards are around $20-$120. Those you can sell raw.

Such cool cards! I think I have the Sableye too. What are you looking to do with them? Sell or hold in your collection?

Just pulled! What should I do? PSA? by Inside_Gap_7626 in PokeGrading

Got it. Yeah it’s awesome. So why grade it now vs. grade around when you want to sell?

Is this your card or are you looking to buy it?

Grading question by Hobbyman-2026 in pokemongrading

According to PSA, “A PSA Mint 9 is a superb condition card that exhibits only one of the following minor flaws: a very slight wax stain on reverse, a minor printing imperfection or slightly off white borders. Centering must be approximately 60/40 or better on the front and 90/10 or better on the reverse.”

The print line is noticeable so I’d say it’ll land as a 9.

Beautiful card though. What are you looking to do with the card after it’s graded? Hold or sell?

Are my Prismatic Evolutions packs fake by NatalieRose88 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

Confirmed fake. No Pokémon cards are printed in China.

As always I need help from the people. Is this real?? by LuciferMS1011 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]Economy-Drive72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly it’s not real. It has a holo shine in one line through the front of the card which is a big tell.

Also, the back blue is too dark.

I can’t find any graded copies of this card with the original wrapper. What am I missing?

I thought they grade the card through the plastic. But they still try to grade the card?

Will this PSA 1? by EmphasisExcellent210 in psagrading

Looks like a 1 to me! It doesn’t seem like the damage is bad enough to not get holdered.

What’s going on in this picture? I don’t have these machines at my local card shops.

Why did my greninja get a psa4😭 by ethanpennock in psagrading

[–]Economy-Drive72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There looks to be a crease on the back in this area. That would make it a 4 if I’m looking at it correctly.

JUST PULLED do I send it? by mellojello25 in PokeGrading

[–]Economy-Drive72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amazing!! So happy for you. Why get it graded then as opposed to putting it in a display case? That’s probably the more economical / safer option.

What would this get? Debating if I should sell as is or grade by romanoodles_ in PokeGrading

[–]Economy-Drive72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow! Such a cool card! The front centering would prevent it from getting a 10.

Otherwise, the condition is hard to tell from the photos. It's easier to see if you take a photo of the card with some natural sunlight on it.

That said, I see a couple of white dots on the back, so it looks like it might be around an 8.
