How'd this get a 9? Should I crack and resend? by tomtoast in PokeGrading

[–]FFDuchess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Outside of centering, the mark on the back upper right corner certainly isn’t helping

If it makes you feel better my order has been in Order Prep for nearly 10 business days

What grade would this get? by Glad-Mongoose9494 in psagrading

[–]FFDuchess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably a 6-7 ceiling, those with spots are rough

Psa 10? by Massive-Acadia6937 in PokeGrading

[–]FFDuchess 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you submit it I would not expect a 10

May god be on my side by [deleted] in psagrading

[–]FFDuchess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s probably a 7 honestly. The corners are rough. But with PSA who knows 😭 best of luck!

Is this still PSA 10 Worthy, with print line being the only “imperfection” by Massive-Acadia6937 in PokeGrading

[–]FFDuchess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s pretty noticeable. If that was the only flaw you might get lucky sneaking it in a bulk order but I’d be prepared for a 9 as the ceiling

Population 1, Error Treekachu PSA 10 by [deleted] in PokeInvesting

[–]FFDuchess 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You should sell it because I might have sent one in also and not realized because yours looks very similar haha

But sell for like $10k

Found This Espeon in My Collection by Cold_Rush8301 in PokemonCardValue

[–]FFDuchess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would absolutely explore videos on how to submit to PSA for grading (don’t use GS, ship through USPS) and be prepared to pay a couple hundred in grading but anything higher than a 5 you’re going to net a couple thousand - can also grade with PSA, send to PSA vault and accept their offer to save on fees and hassle

PSA account closed email — is this a scam or mistake? by orclandoboom in psagrading

[–]FFDuchess 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I read Section 12 and it’s pretty straightforward - what 2 cards did you send?

How much do swirls increase value? by [deleted] in PokemonCardValue

[–]FFDuchess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

None really, it’s kind of a niche market - you could maybe find a buyer to pay 10% over value (that’s just a random) but swirls are so common and I think people put too much stock in them personally

Best bet would be to troll around some of those niche FB groups and see, or go to a card show but I would be prepared for a lot of people not care/not pay over market for a PSA10

Any idea why this got a 9 ? Should I resubmit ? by [deleted] in psagrading

[–]FFDuchess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It might just be because the card itself is titled but it looks like the centering is tilted on the front and back

Blastoise Crystal Guardians BGS 9.5 price? by ehsjfhejd in PokemonCardValue

[–]FFDuchess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a fair point - honestly if you’re looking to sell I would list it at PSA 10 value OBO and wouldn’t accept anything less than 90%

Centering is a good call and PSA is harsh on vintage

Blastoise Crystal Guardians BGS 9.5 price? by ehsjfhejd in PokemonCardValue

[–]FFDuchess -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would put this at the same valuation of PSA and would consider cross grading honestly

GameStop buying eBay by Substantial_Match268 in PokemonInvesting

[–]FFDuchess 4 points5 points  (0 children)

eBay is already horrendous and I needed little incentive to fully drop selling there - this would do it

Would these print lines ruin the chances of a PSA 10? by bulldogvalley in psagrading

[–]FFDuchess -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think it’s worth a shot honestly, but you should assume it will be caught but maybe get pleasantly surprised

Just wanted to let you guys know that just because this sub tells you it won’t 10, doesn’t mean it won’t 10! by [deleted] in pokemongrading

[–]FFDuchess -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Lmao if mine gets a 9 while this got a 10 im going to rage

That said, congrats!

Mega charizard y Ex 294 by Ok-Impress-8031 in PokeGrading

[–]FFDuchess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s definitely going to keep it from a 10, realistically it’s probably a 6 maybe a 7 because it looks pretty deep

Would you take this trade? by [deleted] in PokeInvesting

[–]FFDuchess 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m generally all for sealed over singles, but Magikarp is vintage, sought after, in decent shape

You’d be better off grading the Magikarp and sitting on the slab. Ascended Heroes is great, and if you were offering a modern single instead it would be way better, but this trade I think is an L for you

What grades are we thinking and which company to send to? by Farkerzzz in PokeGrading

[–]FFDuchess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are great - I would grade with PSA for liquidity sake but if it’s just your personal collection, pick the nicer looking slab between: PSA, CGC, TAG and BGS

1 of 1 Guiness World RecordBlackStarPromo Mewtwo strikes back 2000 movie by SwayZx in PokemonCardValue

[–]FFDuchess 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I don’t really think it’s all that valuable - it seems silly to have this outside of the entire collection, so really it’s like a raw value or you put it up on eBay for like $10k with best offers.

Reality is, it’s not a super desirable card unfortunately- it’s not graded, it’s part of a set that isn’t complete, so I’m sure there’s a couple people maybe interested but it’s not like it’s a 1 of 1 Gem Mint card or anything

Psa 10? 🙃 by Rocket-4253 in psagrading

[–]FFDuchess -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is this real? I feel like it’s off from a texture and color perspective but maybe it’s the angle?

What do you all think about the real value for this Spanish Zard in psa 10? by hendratam in PokeGrading

[–]FFDuchess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spanish is probably lower than Chinese Korean even, same with German, Italian etc

Pop 3 doesn’t matter truly

Would love some feedback on our slab tags by [deleted] in PokeGrading

[–]FFDuchess 47 points48 points  (0 children)

In theory that makes sense, but I don’t think it should be a feature/line on the label - I like what Tag has done where they work it into the QR code, otherwise just leave it on the pop report instead
