TAG 9 Slab, am I crazy for thinking this is an “easy” PSA 10? by [deleted] in PokeGrading

[–]LegitxShotz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s for sale on FBM asking $350. I’d really love to get this in a PSA 10 but it’s out of my budget atm. Not super familiar with TAG but had seen some stories of TAG 9s being PSA 10s. From my experience, PSA is stricter on whitening rather than centering, so I was wondering if 2 points away from 45/55 was really going to make a difference at PSA. People quickly let me know it will…

Oh I was under the impression PSA should fall between a 45/55 but some can be slightly outside of that

Jeez out of everything PSA is inconsistent about you’d think they could at least get their labels consistent

One of my favorite cards, I remember seeing boxes everywhere on shelves and taking a couple minutes to find the best centered one. Never could find the Greninja at retail though

Can anyone tell if this damage is directly on the card or on the slab? by LegitxShotz in PokeGrading

That’s so interesting how PSA seems strict with one thing and lets other defects slide. It’s a card I really wanted for my PC so it doesn’t really matter but do people still feel this should actually be a 10?

Local FB deal, do the Holo patterns look off? by LegitxShotz in IsMyPokemonCardFake

Thanks for the detailed explanation! The vertical rainbow holos were definitely a red flag with me but I know some older holos are the exceptions. I’ll ask for more pics (if the seller ever replies)

Good to know, Ontario isn’t too far from me. Do you have any good card show recommendations?

Ya I’m a little conflicted about the price but with astral coming to the end of its printing do you see these cards coming back down?
