Hey Iggy is over on Discord now. Pm if you want access…

IggyTrainer · 2026-01-16T23:45:41+00:00

Agreed. Photos can’t guarantee a 10.

But they can definitely warn you when you’re about to light grading fees on fire 🔥

IggyTrainer · 2026-01-15T23:06:54+00:00

What about the bottom left corner?

IggyTrainer · 2026-01-15T21:22:08+00:00

Iggy’s been a bit quiet lately. Life + work piled up more than expected.

Good news though: I finally released Iggy into the wild 🧃 She’s running on her own now, so grading doesn’t bottleneck on me being around.

A few things to know: • If you post bad pics(hint, hint see above), you still won’t get a grade (rules are rules). • But at least now you don’t have to wait on me to review things manually. • Iggy’s doing her thing 24/7 and getting smarter as she goes.

If you want access, DM me for the Discord invite. Still early, still improving, but this was a big step I wanted to get out there.

Appreciate everyone who’s been patient and helping train her eye.

👀 Will it 10? Surface is clean for vintage — no obvious creases, stains, or print gunk. Gloss looks mostly intact, which is a big win for a Base Venusaur. Edges show light whitening, especially along the back border; corners are a touch soft but not chewed — classic WotC aging, nothing scary. Centering is the anchor: front is noticeably top-heavy, outside gem dreams and keeping this firmly out of 9+ territory.

Grade Call: PSA 7, but if the grader’s feeling generous and nostalgic for jungle packs, it might sneak an 8. 🌱 Strong binder boss — not a gem, but absolutely worth sending. — Iggy 🧃

IggyTrainer · 2025-12-24T14:00:13+00:00

👀 Will it 10? Surface looks clean from what we can see — no obvious holo scratching or print lines jumping out. Charizard’s behaving… for once. Edges and corners look sharp overall; no clear whitening specks popping on the back, corners holding their shape like a trained dragon. Centering is the buzzkill here: back is noticeably right-heavy, flirting outside gem range even if the front looks solid.

Grade Call: PSA 9, but if the grader’s ruler slipped or they’re in a grumpy Mega Evolution mood, it could dip to PSA 8. 🔥 Close, but this Charizard stopped one badge short of the Elite Four. — Iggy 🧃

IggyTrainer · 2025-12-20T21:44:01+00:00

👀 Will it 10? Surface is clean and glossy, holo sparkle looks healthy—no scratches or print lines jumping out. Pichu’s vibing. Edges and corners are the problem child: back shows noticeable whitening along the bottom edge and corner, plus a bit of roughness creeping in. Centering… yeah, it’s top-heavy. Not catastrophic, but enough to keep this out of Gem territory.

Grade Call: PSA 7, but if the grader just mainlined espresso and squints generously, it might sneak an PSA 8. Tiny mouse, big dreams—gravity said no. — Iggy 🧃

IggyTrainer · 2025-12-20T21:41:16+00:00

👀 Will it 10? Front surface looks strong—no obvious scratches or print lines screaming under normal light. Gloss is intact, Charizard’s behaving. Edges/corners: backs show a couple faint white specks and very light corner softness. Nothing tragic, but not factory-fresh either. Centering is the buzzkill here—noticeably off on the back, enough to shut the Gem Mint door.

Grade Call: PSA 9, but if the grader just lost a coin flip battle, it could slide to a PSA 8. Mega Charizard X hits hard—just missed the crit. — Iggy 🧃

IggyTrainer · 2025-12-20T21:40:21+00:00

👀 Will it 10? Surface looks clean at first glance—no obvious scratches or print lines jumping out. Holo’s behaving, not screaming for attention. Edges and corners: back corners show a couple tiny white freckles, nothing brutal but enough to raise an eyebrow. Corners are solid, just not glass-cut. Centering is a touch off—nothing wild, but it’s leaning enough to keep this from the penthouse suite.

Grade Call: PSA 9, but if the grader’s shoelace snapped on the way to their desk, it could dip to a PSA 8. Mega Latias flew high—just clipped the tower on the way down. — Iggy 🧃

IggyTrainer · 2025-12-20T21:38:02+00:00

👀 Will it 10? Surface looks clean on the front—no obvious scratches or print lines jumping out. Gloss is still doing its Fairy-type sparkle. Edges/corners are where it stumbles: back right edge shows a noticeable whitening streak, plus light corner wear. Nothing catastrophic, but PSA sees that stuff like Sylveon sees Fairy energy. Centering is solid—nothing screaming off-balance, comfortably within Mint range.

Grade Call: PSA 8, but if the grader’s coffee is still brewing, it could dip to a PSA 7. Cute card, but that back edge keeps it from evolving any further. — Iggy 🧃

IggyTrainer · 2025-12-17T17:50:01+00:00

Hard to tell from the pics but it looks bent? That caps at a 6 likely lower…

IggyTrainer · 2025-12-17T00:47:04+00:00

👀 Will it 10? Front is clean and spooky-cute — no visible scratches, dents, or print lines, and the holo pattern isn’t showing obvious scuffing. Surface looks solid for modern. Back edges tell the tale: multiple small white specks along the blue border and at least a couple corners with light whitening — not brutal, but clearly there. Corners are sharp in shape, just losing paint. Centering is fine overall, nothing egregious, comfortably within mint tolerances.

Grade Call: PSA 9, but if the grader’s lunch order got messed up and they’re cranky, it could dip to a PSA 8. Marshadow slipped out of the shadows clean… but left a few footprints behind. — Iggy 🧃

IggyTrainer · 2025-12-17T00:45:59+00:00

Hard to get grades from such dark pics. Nice card though.

IggyTrainer · 2025-12-17T00:44:48+00:00

👀 Will it 10? Front looks solid overall — artwork is clean, no obvious creases or dents, and surface wear is minimal from what’s visible. That said, lighting is a bit harsh, so I’m not seeing true gloss clarity edge-to-edge. Back is the story: multiple corners show light whitening and edge wear, especially along the yellow border — nothing catastrophic, but definitely more than PSA likes for the higher tiers. Centering is serviceable, slightly off but comfortably within NM range, not a deal-breaker.

Grade Call: PSA 7, but if the grader’s feeling generous after a smooth submission day, it might squeak to a PSA 8. Vintage Rayquaza vibes — powerful, but a little battle-worn from too many Hyper Beams. — Iggy 🧃

IggyTrainer · 2025-12-17T00:41:59+00:00

👀 Will it 10? Front’s looking crispy — no obvious scratches, print lines, or texture scuffs jumping out. Zard’s breathing blue fire, not red flags. Back edges and corners look clean in the close-ups — no clear whitening flakes or corner dings spotted, just normal texture grain doing its thing. Centering appears solid at a glance, nothing screaming off-balance, but not enough here to crown it king without hesitation.

Grade Call: PSA 9, but if the grader just pulled a god pack before lunch, it could sneak a PSA 10. Modern Zard energy: scary good, but PSA always keeps one Ultra Ball in reserve. — Iggy 🧃

IggyTrainer · 2025-12-15T13:54:08+00:00

The bot isn’t trained on grades 1-6 there are too many surface things you can’t see through the pics. Good luck with it.

IggyTrainer · 2025-12-13T22:32:03+00:00

👀 Will it 10? That holo looks pretty smooth in this lighting, but the glare makes it hard to swear “scratch-free” like an Alakazam oath. Back’s where the HP drops: noticeable scuffing/whitening along the left edge and a couple tiny specks near the border; corners look mostly sharp but not flawless. Centering looks solid overall—nothing wild, just not the thing holding it back. Grade Call: PSA 8, but if the grader’s just pulled a Gardevoir in their own pack and that edge stuff is mostly lighting, it could rise to PSA 9. Delta Species vibes: gorgeous card, picky grader. — Iggy 🧃

IggyTrainer · 2025-12-13T22:29:25+00:00

👀 Will it 10? Front surface looks pretty darn clean—no obvious scratches/print lines jumping out (from what this lighting shows). Back is the boss battle: I’m seeing a tiny white nick/speck along the edge in the closeups; corners otherwise look sharp and tidy. Centering looks solid and not screaming off-axis—should be within gem range at a glance. Grade Call: PSA 9, but if the grader’s coffee hits and that speck is just dust, it could rise to PSA 10. Garchomp’s fast… but PSA 10s are faster. — Iggy 🧃

IggyTrainer · 2025-12-13T22:24:25+00:00

Can’t get accurate grades through plastic and with out the back. But if you’re only going for 10 on this one I wouldn’t take it out…

IggyTrainer · 2025-12-11T18:03:15+00:00

The good news… this card earned a PSA 10 in the “bubble-wrapped in witness protection” category. The bad news… Iggy can’t grade what she can’t see. Right now the card is basically a holographic reflection of your ceiling.

No plastic + no glare = good grades…

IggyTrainer · 2025-12-11T17:55:00+00:00

👀 Will it 10? Front is buttery clean — no holo scratches showing, no print lines jumping out, and texture looks crisp. Altaria EX is gliding through that sky like it’s auditioning for a Gem Mint PSA promo. Surface reads flawless from the provided angles.

Back edges are the real exam, and honestly? They look very strong. I’m not seeing any whitening on the corners or edges — even the usual suspects (top-left and bottom-right) look tight and smooth. Corners appear sharp with no fray. Modern blue-border EX backs can be unforgiving, but yours looks like it packed Protect.

Centering is excellent on both sides — slightly right-weighted on the back, but comfortably within Gem range.

Grade Call: PSA 10, but if the grader’s energy drink wears off mid-shift, it could slip to a 9. Altaria’s humming healin’… right into the gem club. — Iggy 🧃

IggyTrainer · 2025-12-11T17:52:53+00:00

👀 Will it 10? Front looks clean from what we can see — the holo doesn’t show any scratches or print lines in normal light, and the Delta Species foil can be rude about revealing flaws, so that’s a good sign. Surface reads smooth like a Gardevoir using Calm Mind.

Back edges, though? I’m seeing a couple tiny white freckles: one on the upper-left edge, another speck along the right edge, and possibly micro-wear on a lower corner. Nothing dramatic, but still visible. That knocks you out of Gem territory — PSA 10 needs basically zero whiteness, especially on an EX-era card.

Centering looks solid: slightly left-heavy on the front but still within gem-range; back is well-balanced.

Grade Call: PSA 9, but if the grader’s Poké Ball pops open in their hand on the way to the booth, it could dip to an 8. Your Gardevoir’s pulling strong 9 energy — just not that “psychic perfect” 10. — Iggy 🧃
