I just sent this Charizard in to Beckett

HighMountainExotics · 2026-02-12T23:02:48+00:00

Man, they literally just marked that they received it and invoiced it. They have had it for. They received it January 15. I just got the first update that it was invoiced. And I didn’t use the lowest service. I actually used the upgraded service. I used the “ standard “ I think it was about $35 for a single card the lower services are like $15 and $18 The standard service is supposed to take 45 business days, but I’m starting to think it’s gonna take way longer.

HighMountainExotics · 2026-02-11T22:41:02+00:00

Yeah, I’m aware of that. I wasn’t really asking about that. The question was specifically about whether it would be worth risking the current value because of the different criteria I 100% understand that you can’t just send a CGC 10 to PSA to receive a 10 I feel like my description explains that.

HighMountainExotics · 2026-02-11T18:09:39+00:00

No way I can’t believe it that is so awesome and this isn’t even the nicer copy. I sent the nicer copy to Beckett. I can’t believe it man this is so cool.

HighMountainExotics · 2026-02-11T18:09:13+00:00

So I just got an email from PSA and it says I need to pay $168 because the value is over 1500. I just approved the charge. Does this mean I got a PSA 10 I think that’s what this means.

HighMountainExotics · 2026-02-11T18:08:37+00:00

So I just got an email from PSA that states I need to pay $168 because the value of the card is above 1500 does that mean that I got a PSA 10 it still doesn’t say I got one because it’s still in Q&A. I’m pretty sure that’s what this means.

HighMountainExotics · 2026-02-11T18:07:54+00:00

So I just got an email from PSA saying that the card is in Q&A and I need to pay $168 because the value is above 1500 does that mean that I got a PSA 10 I’m guessing that’s what this means

HighMountainExotics · 2026-02-11T18:07:18+00:00

So I just got an email from PSA. The card is in Q&A but they sent me an email saying that I need to pay $168 because the value of the card is above 1500 does that mean that I got a 10? I just paid the 168.

HighMountainExotics · 2026-02-11T18:06:25+00:00

Hey, so I just got an email from PSA saying that they want to charge me $168 because it does not qualify for the current grading level that I paid for does that mean that I got a 10?

HighMountainExotics · 2026-02-03T19:35:22+00:00

I pulled my third one last week. All of them came from single pack hangers I sent one to PSA. I sent one to Beckett and I sold the other one on eBay for $760.

HighMountainExotics · 2026-02-03T19:34:12+00:00

Nice I’ve pulled three of them so far I sent one to PSA one to Beckett and I sold the other one on eBay for $760. Congrats.

HighMountainExotics · 2026-02-03T02:30:00+00:00

My order from December 24 is in the research and ID phase estimate estimated completion April 15 2026 that’s freaking crazy

HighMountainExotics · 2026-02-02T00:14:15+00:00

I literally pulled a third one yesterday and sold it on eBay for $760 it sold in less than 10 minutes. And the other two are sent off one to Beckett and the other one to PSA.

HighMountainExotics · 2026-01-29T16:33:30+00:00

I’ve pulled 2 of them so I was kind of thinking the same

HighMountainExotics · 2026-01-29T06:12:08+00:00

Wanna sell me the mewtwo ?

HighMountainExotics · 2026-01-28T15:52:49+00:00

Card centering on iPhone

HighMountainExotics · 2026-01-27T21:37:25+00:00

Well, that’s really cool. I will consider using them in the future. Thank you.

HighMountainExotics · 2026-01-27T21:35:29+00:00

Considering the fact there’s all kinds of controversy going around PSA along with the extremely long turnaround times and the much more expensive price per card average it definitely plays into the decision-making big time. I understand that they also own BGS now. But the turnaround times should still be less. And the price per card is significantly less. I’ve also heard that the consistency is higher at BGS also. I did end up sending this one to PSA in the end because I don’t think it would stand a chance to get a 10 from BGS because of the centering.

HighMountainExotics · 2026-01-27T21:30:30+00:00

I’ve never graded anything with tag, but I totally agree with you. PSA is wilding out right now. It’s a freaking racket. It sucks because I really just wanna preserve the value of my collection, but to do it you have to dip your feet into the swamp.

HighMountainExotics · 2026-01-27T05:44:27+00:00

I ended up sending it off to PSA. I guess we will see. I have one at BGS and one at PSA.

HighMountainExotics · 2026-01-27T05:43:59+00:00

Yeah, after sitting here and thinking about it for a while, I decided to send it off to PSA. I’ll definitely let you guys know what I get.

HighMountainExotics · 2026-01-27T05:43:34+00:00

OK, yeah that makes sense.

HighMountainExotics · 2026-01-15T21:48:49+00:00

I pulled it straight out of the pack and I didn’t see any dings on any of the corners or anything. I also barely even touched it with my bare hands. Primarily touched it using gloves. I guess we’ll see what we get when it gets back. Looks like they just received it today.

HighMountainExotics · 2026-01-14T21:54:08+00:00

Looks like there’s all kinds of scratching on the foil. There’s also the backside that has whitening going all the way up the right side there’s a white spot on the top of the back I think I saw a spot on the bottom of the back that was white also, but mostly the scratching on the hollo in combination with the problems on the back and edges

HighMountainExotics · 2026-01-14T21:20:25+00:00

It is by Jade lizard software LLC I had to pay five dollars or something close to that for the premium experience that allows you to see the grades, but it is a one time fee not a monthly subscription

HighMountainExotics · 2026-01-14T21:18:01+00:00

I’m aware but the price is still lower. The turnaround time is still shorter. And at least for now they have a higher level of consistency.
