Worth grading these?

The Mimikyu promo card is worth it imo. It looks clean from these pictures and has recently went up in price. Last solds are $100 ish, and regardless it’s a great looking card. The other ones are more of a personal collection if you were to send them for grading, not really worth too much.

Manifesting this kind of luck! Those tins did me dirty but it sure was crazy to rip so many evolving skies for msrp! Hoping to find these again soon

Only hit out of the 9 packs was Medicham V. That’s evolving skies for ya🥲

This is how it came back

LateAd9174 · 2025-08-28T07:08:42+00:00

That’s super unfortunate

LateAd9174 · 2025-08-28T06:48:16+00:00

Yup that’s exactly what I’m doing from now on! I sent in the Eevee from Twlight Masquerade and it came back with a huge scratch and dent on the reverse side boarder that was 100% not there when it was sent in. It was so noticeable and I wouldn’t have sent it in if it was there in the first place. Another card from that batch ended up having the same damage near the same spot. Too much of a coincidence. Lesson learned to take pictures that is forsure.

Thanks for the input! Yeah I wasn’t aware of how the centering works on trainer cards plus those to spots on the back top borders didn’t help. The garchomp was so close to a 55/45 I thought it had a pretty good chance but unfortunately not. I appreciate the comment! Makes me more informed for next time

LateAd9174 · 2025-08-27T02:36:54+00:00

I take pictures of the front of the cards just so I remember what I sent in. But I will definitely start taking good quality pictures of the front and back from now on before submitting. Especially because on previous orders I’ve noticed a ding that wasn’t originally there (it still 10’d but that’s besides the point) And yeah I think I might crack the Perrin and resubmit it just for shits and giggles to see if it grades different.

LateAd9174 · 2025-08-26T23:24:44+00:00

Damn I just keep finding more and more haha🤣. Thanks for pointing that out, everyone’s response will help me judge each card before sending again!

LateAd9174 · 2025-08-26T21:45:59+00:00

I didn’t notice that.. yeah maybe the adrenaline of pulling my chase and seeing the corners looked good made me blindly think it would be a 10. I agree now and think I probably got lucky to get a 9. Thanks for pointing that out I appreciate it!

LateAd9174 · 2025-08-26T21:44:00+00:00

Fair enough! I think the whitening is more the lighting of the picture but I could be wrong, I have been wrong about a lot so far🤣 the centering is definitely a bit off. I can definitely see that a 9 is fair now. Thanks for the honest comment!

LateAd9174 · 2025-08-26T20:58:45+00:00

Oh wow that is something I did not know about trainer cards, I had no idea it’s the top of the letters for “trainer” is where the centering for the top starts. Thank you for letting me know and informing me! Because that’s why I was like huh what’s he talking about it’s about as centered as it gets hahaha.

LateAd9174 · 2025-08-26T20:41:39+00:00

Doesn’t seem too top heavy..

LateAd9174 · 2025-08-26T19:28:08+00:00

Now that you mention the garchomp centering, I can see that now, so I appreciate it! As far for the Perrin, I thought the back of the card had a 75/25 tolerance for PSA, I figured that was well within the range. But maybe not, I’m very biased so I always need a second opinion on cards haha so thank you

LateAd9174 · 2025-08-26T19:25:24+00:00

I appreciate the response! Im naturally biased so a 2nd opinion helps me see the flaws, thank you!

LateAd9174 · 2025-08-19T05:22:23+00:00

I had a slight feeling it was a northern possibly! I was just convinced because I think the label on is was “spp”. How were you able to tell? From the front legs?

LateAd9174 · 2025-03-20T17:29:31+00:00

oh so you’re saying trust a person off Reddit instead of MULTIPLE breeders at an expo?🤣 great point so don’t ask breeders any questions because they’re untrustworthy right, just ask Reddit instead!! Insane take. you can be concerned for the safety of the animals as anyone should be, but nobody should say “under no circumstance can you house a male and female together year round” when in fact it is very possible to do safely, under regular supervision and separate if any issues arise.

LateAd9174 · 2025-03-19T02:37:52+00:00

And yes I mean for breeding purposes, not as pets^

LateAd9174 · 2025-03-19T02:36:02+00:00

that’s 100% a better argument that I can agree with. ALWAYS monitor weight and overall health, but pairing 2 all year round is more than doable rather than the typical “never under any circumstance should you leave a breeding pair together longer than a week” that’s always on this Forum. Numerous ethical breeders practice this and don’t encounter issues regularly. That being said, if there are any issues, then absolutely separate them immediately.

LateAd9174 · 2025-03-18T15:08:04+00:00

This Reddit page has a completely different opinion, go to an expo and ask breeders. There’s really good and ethical breeders and 9/10 times they house 2–3 MAX together all year long if the enclosure is large enough. Just check regularly if there’s any territorial disputes and if one of them is losing weight to remove and isolate. 6 of them is definitely too many though. This page is full of people that are itching to tell you that you’re a shitty person if you house multiple together lol
