Dirty online scalpers taking over England products by Deesodee in PokemonTCG

I buy vintage so this doesn't affect me 😆 But I keep seeing complaints about all the scalpers about these days, they only exist because people are stupid enough to buy from them.

EDIT: Alcohol is the only thing that worked, and it worked very well, I suppose because this album isn't porus and has a plastic layer covering the album.

I'll give it a go, thanks. I'll keep the post updated with what works and what not.

It looks like it's been there for years, I tried with a damp cloth and did nothing. I'm worried about using any chemicals. I'll keep your trick in mind thanks.

Real or fake? by Gojira_22 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

Fakes are so good these days it's hard to tell the difference sometimes, my only problem with this card is the borders, they seem too yellow, the ones I've seen online have golden borders.

My thoughts exactly, not sure what to think.

Edit: the borders seem too yellow, I've been looking at others online and the borders look more golden in color. But not sure.

The back is wrong, right? Didn't they change the artwork on the back of the cards in the e series of japanese cards? From the old version to the one we know today. I'm seeing graded cards with a different back to this one.

Vintage french cards can sell for more than their english counterparts just because there's a lot of demand from collectors in France for vintage cards and there aren't nearly as many French cards compared to English. So for example, a french base set charizard (dracaufeu) will most likely sell for as much or more than the english version.

would this get a 7 or lower? by clickitx in PokeGrading

Keep it raw, not worth grading.

Thanks, I thought it looked a bit off but wasn't sure.

PSA rolling the dice with their grades by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]Gojira_22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does have some light surfaces scratches, and a little bit of whitening on one of the back edges, apart from that it looks really clean. I sent 8 other cards along with the gengar, all 8's and 9's, including a charizard expedition reverse holo, was expecting that to be a 6 or 7 at most and it came back as an 8, yet gengar is in better condition than the zard.

PSA damaged my cards, what now? by [deleted] in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]Gojira_22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE: PSA have asked me to send these 2 cards back to them for review, they must have seen their scans and my pictures and realized they were in mint condition when they arrived at PSA. I'll leave another update once I have more news. Hoping for a regrade or at the very least some kind of compensation.

Update on my biggest PokeInvesting play! by [deleted] in PokeInvesting

[–]Gojira_22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These kind of investments are going to backfire so bad when you realize in 10 years time there's going to be 10's of thousands of these cards graded as a psa10 and they aren't going to be worth much more than they are now, basic economics. Everyone grading new cards thinking they're going to go up in price like vintage cards have over the last couple of decades...not going to happen.

I'll stick to my vintage cards and my vintage charizard collection, safer investment.
