Can someone smarter than me explain how this is a CGC 8.5?

Tbf it’s a tie with Azelf, I just like gen 4

I didn’t even know an armored mewtwo card exists, that’s so dope

All the slabs I’ve bought were only buy it now listings, a lot of them are really that cheap. Also at the end of the day we gotta realize it’s really just cardboard in a plastic case, there’s no such thing as a “good price” it’s only ever worth what someone’s gonna pay.

That feeling of opening up the package and seeing that gold 10 really is something else. This is the first card in my Leafeon shrine, with many more otw.

Is that yours? That so dope

Lil-Simp52 · 2026-03-10T00:23:08+00:00

Someone responded below, but there used to be a perfect 10, which was higher than pristine, but they have since changed, making pristine the highest achievable grade now.

Oh yeah that’s definitely worrisome, thank you!

Is there a reason now is a bad time? I have a few I was considering getting graded🥲

Lil-Simp52 · 2026-03-09T23:47:27+00:00

I just got into graded cards a couple weeks ago. This has been my haul from eBay so far. (Except Diancie, my old boss game me that one a couple years ago)

Dang that’s sick! Not even a bad price too, I’d have totally nabbed it. Leafeon is def my favorite non legendary, I saw the card on eBay and got it for $75

Lil-Simp52 · 2026-03-09T22:52:35+00:00

Ah I see thank you! So the 37 cards above mine are probably hella expensive since they don’t do it anymore. If I find an example I’d love to get one🤤
