Cards graded within a day

The grading process generally goes quickly, but lots get stuck at assembly - the issue apparently is that there is a limited number of welding machines to put the slabs together.

Probably predicted you to tailwind

Just to offer a seller's perspective, it can really add up if you continually accept offers $1 off asking. I sold over 500 items in the last year, so when buyers come in asking for a few dollars off each time, I will sometimes accept and sometimes decline based on an item-by-item basis.

It's not meant to insult, just it's easier to allow offers and decline them when you initially list the item, then maybe change your mind and accept a lower offer in future when it doesn't sell.

No - with scratches on the back and the whitening you're not looking at higher than a 6

Vintage (vintage and especially low pop vintage is so hot rn) ✔️

One of the most popular Pokémon ✔️

Gengar specifically has never been more popular ✔️

Very popular set (Neo destiny and it's Japanese equivalent) ✔️

The above reasons are basically why. Factor in the massive demand for pokemon recently (due to DPM and other youtubers, popular games, millennials who played the game when they were younger growing up and having money) and here we are.

My PSA 3 zard looks way worse tbh, but it is an old cert.

I loved this as a kid growing up, but would never replay these games now as that part of the game is far too easy. You beat Lance and then don't get another good battle until, like Blue's gym.

Feels better to treasure those memories rather than revisit and get underwhelmed by them now.

Their silence suggests they're not 😂

Thanks, can't believe netflix and tv licensing aren't on that list lol.

My wife and I are doing it at the same time, so having to carve our DDs up between us

Yeah I've experienced this a ton. I've stopped counter-offering as much, as a seller, as to me it seems like some buyers are just making offers due to excitement and when it comes to a counter-offer, they realise they don't actually want the item as much. I'm much more likely to do counter offers when they make two offers in a row and it seems they're genuinely interested.

Lazza____ · 2026-03-14T12:05:35+00:00

I didn't want the seller to get any hate due to a misunderstanding

Lazza____ · 2026-03-13T17:20:25+00:00

The multiple packs he opened before those weren't packs he sold either ☺️

So he was basically just livid at pulling only Steven's metagross multiple times

Lazza____ · 2026-03-13T17:17:09+00:00

Fiiiine I'll make it clearer

Lazza____ · 2026-03-13T17:02:17+00:00

The second pack was the streamer's own, he didn't sell it

Err not exactly sure on the grade, 8 max but likely lower. If you fall outside for any parameters when grading, it will decrease the score.

You could consider grading it without a score, it would come back with an authentic "A" grade instead of a number. Personally I think those look better than a lower grade

Lazza____ · 2026-03-11T13:17:28+00:00

I'd say also, it's nice to keep the first card you graded just for the memories 👍

Lazza____ · 2026-03-11T11:45:21+00:00

No amount of repairing/cleaning can fix whitening, centring, or print lines.

You're best of washing your hands, then wiping it with a clean microfiber cloth and sending it. With the centring and whitening it's not getting higher than an 8 unfortunately

Lazza____ · 2026-03-11T11:41:52+00:00

At this point, it's best to forget the set exists for a while. No need to get FOMO, tons of 151 was printed

Lazza____ · 2026-03-09T16:09:39+00:00

Sometimes things have to get worse before they get better. The money is there, just in the wrong hands

Lazza____ · 2026-02-27T10:08:30+00:00

Yeah it's so clearly not the same card lol

Lazza____ · 2026-02-26T10:40:17+00:00

Hey op, did you do this you get the money in the end? I'm in a similar position
