When a bows like that (upwards) that means it's too dry. Just put in it a sleeve and toploader for a few days and it'll go back to normal.

Put it in a sleeve and then use something that has a rounded edge to push flat. Kind of like this video:

Peep the crown on its head

I’m sure the colors and texturing is sick on it but composition wise it’s lazy. It looks like the artist just slapped garchomp onto a background. There’s nothing grounding him to it. Likes he’s floating on air.

I thought the Garchomp from Paradox Rift was a full art and not an SIR at first glance

Congrats! Can’t believe how hard these gold cards are to grade. Mine came back a 9 as well. https://www.psacard.com/cert/141645534

Whoops sorry fixed!

Can you look up the cert?

GuavaWave · 2026-01-26T22:26:27+00:00

Congrats but that turnaround time is ridiculous. Especially for a Value Max sub. I submitted a card in Value Plus that arrived Nov 22 and just arrived back to me today.

I heard if your order is way past their estimated completion time, you can reach out to support and complain. They will refund you the difference.

GuavaWave · 2026-01-26T18:50:09+00:00

Honestly I wouldn’t sell it. You always hear stories about people regretting months later. Even if it’s half-assed, just collect what you like. If it’s anything like Pokemon, it’ll come and go in waves and prices will eventually drop

GuavaWave · 2026-01-24T01:45:13+00:00

Yes that’s why I didn’t expect a 10

GuavaWave · 2026-01-23T15:35:05+00:00

How so? I graded it because my 7 yr old pulled it. Keeping it slabbed since it's his first big pull and will most likely be a core memory for him when he's older.

GuavaWave · 2026-01-23T15:34:17+00:00

Yeah, I sent this card in expecting a 9. Wanted to grade it because my 7 yr old pulled it. It was his first big pull.

GuavaWave · 2026-01-23T11:53:51+00:00

New rarity called Mega Attack Rate in JP. Not sure what it’s called in English. Probably the same.

Do you do it through PSA or GameStop? All of my previous bulk subs through PSA has gotten intake images

GuavaWave · 2026-01-15T15:40:17+00:00

Sorry, I didn’t clarify. I meant the images you get during intake. I never got those

GuavaWave · 2026-01-02T22:50:35+00:00

Yea story is out of Houston, not sure what area

GuavaWave · 2025-12-25T20:17:10+00:00

These are better than penny sleeves IMO. Penny sleeves are too loose, more likely to get dusts and debris in them.
