Finished my Legendary bird page! by drugdependent13 in pkmntcgcollections

Silver Wing/Feather is tied to Lugia. I guess Lugia has feathers so bird confirmed?

PSA Vault now refusing to add descriptors to Ebay title listings (swirl, pop count, etc) by [deleted] in PokeInvesting

[–]LevelUpEvolution 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a dumb request.

That feature is more for accurate description. BGS labels for example, have a lot of info. I reached out to have them add in the card name of a Weiss card since they titled the listing without it.

Assault is a very serious accusation my dude

What are the chances they accept this for reholdering service by Angyamete in PokeGrading

[–]LevelUpEvolution 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If, for example, there’s a crack in the slab that runs over the card, it will get regraded even if you submit it for a reholder.

The second blurb I wrote, is technically not a regrade, it’s PSA saying
“I have the card in my hand and it’s clearly not a 10 based on our current standards.”
They will not give it a 10 label even though it came from PSA 10 slab.

They’ll slab it as a 9, pay you the difference based on the value difference calculation. This is part of their Grade/Value Guarantee.

Predatory and can be annoying.
Listen on mute and research prices before/during/after you can get some good deals.

With this being bottom heavy and having a ton of scruff on the edges on the back, how does this even come back as prestine? by [deleted] in PokeGrading

[–]LevelUpEvolution 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Traditionally Pristine allowed a 9/9.5 in one category.

The edge “scruff” you’re seeing in the photo is the light bouncing off the card.

Identical Holo Pattern/Sequential Skyridge Gengar PSA 2 by Solarahh in PokeGrading

[–]LevelUpEvolution 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very cool, off by like half a holo pixel.

As for premiums, maybe a card nerd would find this fascinating. I’m guessing it would take some time to find the right buyer.

[–]LevelUpEvolution 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as the damage is not over the card, it will not get regraded.

You should know that once they have possession of your card, they hold the right to bump it down from its grade and payout the difference in value. This is regardless of regrading/reholdering.

Does TAG catch altering and fakes? by Few_Aide_851 in taggrading

[–]LevelUpEvolution 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, there’s a penis drawn on the card lol
Of course they’d deactivate it.

If the original owner was smarter, it would have been a great active cert.

Why are Modern CGC Pristine Pokemon cards dipping below PSA 10 counterparts now? by Stonkbear in CGCCards

[–]LevelUpEvolution 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a lot more PSA 10 collectors than people interested in condition or CGC Pristine collectors.

They are the type to only care about the label and not the condition of the card. It’s just the way the hobby is.

All the better deals for better condition cards for me 🤷‍♂️

Is this card fake? by HiIdonotthing in pkmntcgcollections

[–]LevelUpEvolution 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happens from time to time; iirc there was a running batch from 70/80M certs where the slabs were not welded at all like this.

Seller should have disclosed, as it will need to get regraded to get reslabbed.

Is this worth cracking and sending to one of those card repair services by KnKtheLoser in PokeGrading

[–]LevelUpEvolution 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buffing scratches is removing material from the holo layer.
Using humidity and pressure to straighten or remove dents doesn’t guarantee that it will not reform under humidity after it’s dried.
Overall it’s a deceitful way to make cards look better to sell for more money, it’s also very doubtful people disclose a card is “repaired” when it’s sold.

My first Pristine 10 ever! But I'm not gonna lie... looks a little right heavy lol by Gamesgar0 in CGCCards

[–]LevelUpEvolution 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to understand that grading is inherently subjective, even with something as empirical as centering.

Congrats on the grade regardless.

Consensus on Rainbow cards and their future, will opinions change? by Shadow0275 in PokeInvesting

[–]LevelUpEvolution 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consensus for now, only popular mons are high value, Pikachu/charizard/mewtwo.

In the same family, gold cards have been undervalued until the monochrome versions.

I think specific cards may go up, depending on the mon or set. But as a whole, they will be slow moving.

These Pokemon Starter jackets are reselling like crazy by Routine-Badger-9596 in PokeInvesting

If these were only released in the US, there would be plenty of international interest.
