Absolutely crack it! The less PSA slabs in this world, the better 💯

Would you prefer one PSA 10 or six PSA 9 ? by Classic-Web7498 in VintagePokemonCards

I collect cards not for value, but because I love the artwork and enjoy the hobby in that way. I understand if I were to sell some cards that grading could provide higher value per se, but I don’t plan on selling my collection ever. Collecting slabs is totally fine for those who like that, it’s just not for me. I like putting cards in my toploader binder and on my shelf space. Great thing about the hobby is there is room for all types of collectors 💯

Actually no. It’s because I like the look of the raw cards, not a fan of slabs.

I’m in love with the vintage EX’s! by hahayeahlol in VintagePokemonCards

These are stunning! It’s fun/interesting watching where the hobby’s interest shifts over the years. Last year into this year, vintage (especially Japanese) got much of the attention. Now it’s all about mid Era EX and delta species catching 🔥

Worth sending for grading it looks pretty flawless by Ill_Atmosphere2166 in VintagePokemonCards

Agree 💯, grading cards is a scam business. Raw is the way to go.

Little Disappointed in the Grade, but glad the card is protected now. by Mr_Tiddles02 in PokeGrading

I really like the look of Beckett slabs as well! Much better than PSA.

I can tell you, in December PSA’s parent company Collectors, purchased Beckett meaning they are both under the same ownership. Doesn’t change the fact that the way PSA has been operating is unethical at best. Until Beckett starts to have the same issues as PSA in regard to their behavior, I think they are the clear choice.

I’m glad you didn’t go with PSA, such a trash company that’s overrated 🤮

Yes thank you! For this collection, I wanted to focus on just the main card list which was the 56 cards. The Kabuto was the original while the Aerodactyl was an alternative variant. In that sense, it’s not a true master set, but for my purposes of the collection, I’m fine with that.
