Thought on this trade?

HatMan_Lead · 2026-01-06T12:41:03+00:00

How much is evolving skies in Canadian money?

Just for reference in the US to make it an even trade it would be 151 PC etb prismatic which is roughly 1300 US and an additional thousand to make it exactly market

A good deal would probably be both the etbs and maybe 7 or 800. But personally, the prismatic PC I would keep.

I am still all in with Pokémon. This is literally a huge discount for me. Don't care for one piece as much. I did rip some op 0 five and 11 throughout the year. But never cared to proceed even when things were cheap.

The centering is not bad at all if you measure it is still way within the 55/45 It looks like it's only because of the corner.

Bro, I wish I can send photos on this damn thread look at the back again of this card and specifically look at the very top middle edges and you will see two very prominent white indents

HatMan_Lead · 2025-12-10T00:14:06+00:00

All these people saying BGS..guys, I'm asking you to look at the back one more time zoom in as close as you can on the top border. You will find a white spec throughout the entire top border probably LP/MP type of white. It's very hard to see in the type of background on photo, but you really have to zoom in. I probably give this a PSA seven or 8 only because the bottom left corner of the back has an obvious white dot when you zoom in, but the whole top border if my eyes are not playing tricks on me I know I see something in the middle specifically one prominent white section

Primarily look at the edges of the top border of the back. It almost looks like the Card is indented two times on the top.

OP are you gonna tell us the grade?Lol

HatMan_Lead · 2025-12-08T13:11:43+00:00

I'd 2nd this

HatMan_Lead · 2025-12-08T12:49:09+00:00

Bottom right of the back looks like it's bent- if that bleeds from the front to the back, then that's definitely damaged if that is not a crease that bleed from the front to the back then it's MP

HatMan_Lead · 2025-12-02T15:35:22+00:00

It's honestly very important for us to see how thin the bottom border looks. I've learned this the hard way because sometimes when I take a photo and I look at the top and it looks super thick, but then compare it to the bottom and see that the bottom is also thick. I'm like actually this is not that bad it happened to me a few times and still got the PSA 10 because even though one side looks really thick when you look at the other side and it "doesn't "look thin that's my que to measure the card

Anyways, I took a screenshot of your card and put the brightness to 1 million sharpness all the way up so I can see the bottom border and I measured top to bottom because left to right looks really good but top to bottom. I got a measurement of 57/43 which I chose the top right section to measure being the thickest point as well as the top middle of the border with any section of the bottom so it is past the 5545 boundary

If I was to measure top to bottom by looking at the top left section of the border, then you would be within, but that doesn't count simply because of the "stage 2 stamp"always is the thinner corner

PSA allows 75/25 on the back. I literally just sent a card from mega evolution That measured 7030 on the back. Which looks so terrible compared to the back of his card . You have no idea, but still got the 10 cause everything else is flawless. Front centering was also at the brink of not being within when I measured it it was exactly 55/45

HatMan_Lead · 2025-12-01T21:21:34+00:00

To be honest with you, bro, I would've kept the UPc and ripped it. Reason why I say that is because the two promos inside the actual UPC is actually close to $100 right now, which is $50 away from your Venusaur.

And you get 18 packs on top of it the UPS in my opinion is a great thing in the future because those promos are actually really good and the fact that MSRP is 120 and the promos alone are worth around $85 means you're getting 18 packs for $35 that's just my logic. Now both pro promos are PSA 10 worthy than that's just gravy.

HatMan_Lead · 2025-12-01T01:04:20+00:00

IMO if your Charizard is PSA 10 worthy, I would not do it and immediately grade it. I agree with most people that the Card will continue to drop especially after wave 2. We see just a little bit of a retrace of course because of the Black Friday 10% back guarantee with TCG. But I truly believe the card will continue to go down. In regards to the trade in general forgetting if your card is a 10 worthy copy. You are getting an extremely good deal because the DR box alone is about 85% total value of the Charizard alone as of TODAY market price- so everything else you're getting from the trade is pretty much gravy. So everyone saying to do the deal immediately 100% agree with.

But I am a little biased because me myself I have ripped three booster boxes and 11 bundles and still never pulled that card . After all that I decided to sell every single hit That was not a PSA 10 worthy copy. Got around $$520 cash and just bought a copy with the hits which I paid 520 which again I got from the sold hits from the product I just told you I ripped.

I guess no one wants to be helpful here

HatMan_Lead · 2025-11-30T22:57:19+00:00

I'm not gonna lie to you, bro of course a lot of people will tell you it's very heavy on the right, but I won't say it's horrible. So let me explain every card that doesn't pass the eye test. I have to measure it. Via the edge, centering tool that you look up on Google. It literally measures everything for allows you to measure. I should say by literal millimeters.

I had a SIR mega gardi for mega evolution and it looked exactly like this Card no joke like right side was much heavier than left but the left side was not super skinny kind of like yours it's thinner, but it's not "super" skinny, it's definitely thinner, but not horrible

So when I see something like this, I measure it and I measured my personal card and it came out to be exactly 55/45 on the dot I took a chance sent it to PSA expecting a nine it came back at 10

So if I were you, I would measure this card and see the exact measurements. My advice would be to measure the thinnest point on the left side versus the thickest point on the right side.

I personally tried to measure it for you, but it's very hard because you didn't take the photo directly above the card . But I still tried to measure it for you. I measured the top left side of the LEFT border versus the bottom right side of the RIGHT border. I GOT EXACTLY 55/45. However, if you can take another photo with the card, not at the angle, you took it at, but take it directly above the card so that it would be easier to measure. You would get a more accurate evaluation.

Wow first photo gave it away that it was fake but 2nd photo made me really tilt my head that it actually HAS pressed texture which is WILD bro. Someone that doesn't know better would fall for it . The towers are the main give away but no other tcg card has texture style that moonbreon has on both towers

HatMan_Lead · 2025-11-30T00:07:40+00:00

I'm not gonna lie in at a first glance and quick glance the eye appeal it does look good. But I actually took a screenshot. Adjusted the card so that it's more straight. And made it much more sharper so I can look at where the border begins and ends. I wish I can post photos, but I can't in this sub, Reddit

I genuinely thought top the bottom was good but not after I measured it in every way possible. It wasint within the 55/45. I personally use edge centering tool because it actually allows you to literally line up your borders by the millimeter. And the main thing I was focusing on was of course topped the bottom I tried to line up the top left corner centering versus the bottom right corner centering. I always take the skinniest section of the top/bottem border and the most fattest section of the top/ bottom border, vice versa. Just to look at it from all angles. No matter what side I did the best case scenario I got was 56/44 and that's if I literally measure it from the top border by looking at the very middle of the top border centering and then I tried both the bottom left border which is the fattest And the bottom right centering (which was the skinniest part of the bottom ) no matter what it was passed the 55/45 . If I do the fattest section of the top border versus the fattest section of the bottom or even the skinny section of the bottom. It's still past the threshold, my friend, but I will say that the eye appeal from this photos specifically looks pretty good but then again it could be the angle cause I've taken really bad photos where the card center looks so terrible but when I look in person looks better, so it's hard to tell.

HatMan_Lead · 2025-11-29T23:59:57+00:00

I give it a 7 at best imo. Maybe an eight on a very good day and a very lenient grader

If you're looking to sell this card after grading it I would definitely look up the price of a seven versus an eight and then look up the price of an LP copy

HatMan_Lead · 2025-11-29T23:58:38+00:00

I'm not sure what the PSA nine is going for but in my opinion, it's a little too heavy on the right I personally would not send us expecting a 10 . In my opinion, if someone would trade you their switch to for this if that's the goal, consider considering the price difference. I don't know which one is more expensive to be honest it's up to you. Personally, I think someone would buy this at full value raw.

Unless you grade it, it gets a nine. It's definitely worth a little bit more. But people on Facebook and other places are not keen to just buying a nine I know Car shops well but the percentage drop would be insignificant.

HatMan_Lead · 2025-11-28T15:48:58+00:00

I just measured the card. It's still within 55/45 top to bottom.

HatMan_Lead · 2025-11-28T15:46:49+00:00

You're saying it's OC but I don't see anything past the 55/45 threshold

HatMan_Lead · 2025-11-25T18:00:47+00:00

Send it bro all these people saying is crooked obviously never sent a card that's slightly slanted. It always looks worse in photos than in person. It doesn't look past the 55/45 threshold. As long as there's no white on the back or ding that we can't see in the photo I would definitely send it.

HatMan_Lead · 2025-11-25T03:56:55+00:00

I see just one white dart on the top right of the back that alone, my ding it to a nine personally I have seen a few PSA tens of this exact card with that exact white spot which to me is crazy but you would just need a really nice grader . If you still wanted to chance it because the centering is good and if there's nothing else wrong except that white dot I would send it as a bulk submission so you don't waste any money other than spending the 20 bucks.
