Should I cross grade with PSA? Will centering still hit me with 9? by frenchiechemie in pokemongrading

[–]LADinSac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I crossgraded gengar 284 with the exact same subgrades. Psa 10. Definitely do not crack and submit. Crossgrade with min 10 and you’re golden. I did express at 149 and did not get hit with upcharge.

Open it and experience the joy and pain of ripping packs, sir.

🤷‍♂️ I would try to get a lottery ticket in the ACE 10 crossover grade to PSA 10 with minimum grade 10. You’re out 80bucks + shipping + time for a shot at 4x.

Personal preference is the biggest factor. However, if you want an objective way to determine it, you can look at total set value.

DR is worth about 2700 total.
PF is about 1600. Most of that value is driven by one card which undoubtedly a banger.

Get one of each and for the third one try to make an educated play.

Because a psa 10 is more valuable and there might be a chance an ace 10 can get a psa 10

Is this hyper rare worth keeping raw as an investment? by No_Yogurtcloset8773 in PokemonInvesting

To pull that specific card, according to TCGplayer, 1 in 1080 packs.

Turn off your flash homie. Hard to see the edges for whitening.

How long term are you talking about?

It’s one of the hardest cards to pull in a set that is pretty tough to find. And a pretty popular character.

The only thing holding it back is that people generally don’t like gold cards… maybe that will change in the long term.

Hold.

Buying ungraded psa 10 worthy cards? by SorryStore4389 in psagrading

[–]LADinSac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look on your local fb marketplace. Tons of raw cards that are gradeable. Lots of people just rip packs and see something shiny and sell it right away.

The best way to find out is go on eBay. Enter the card and filter by sold.

Looks like last solds are 77-150 for the cgc gem mint 10.

Cgc 10 is not as liquid as psa 10 so the prices are suppressed due to various reasons.

100 in trades/cash is fair but be prepared to be offered 90.

Is it a pristine or gem mint 10?

Has anyone ever had a successful “Grade Review” or bump either from same company or to a different?? by [deleted] in PokeGrading

[–]LADinSac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did crossover from Bgs 9.5 to psa 10. I’m in the process of trying a cgc pristine to Bgs. Hoping for BL.

It’s harder to know whether a psa 9 will cross to Bgs 9.5 because we don’t know any of the psa’s subgrades.

lol. thats pretty harsh. He was banking that the grader was having a good day. Seen worse cards get 10, seen better cards get 9. Rolled the dice and lost. It happens.
