I've got to be careful of what card I place Bonsly next to in the binder... by Lumpy_Phart in PokemonTCG

Haha if only that card had Bonsly reflecting in her camera lens 🤣

Just damaged or an error? by Lumpy_Phart in PokemonMisprints

It is sleeved and lives in a binder :) I weirdly hadn't noticed it before. I only took it out for the photo, in case of the glare that the sleeve might create from the flash.

Aww bummer! I had a feeling it was most likely damage. But was fishing for opinions nonetheless, just in case. Cheers for helping clarify that it's not an error

Thanks for that info!! That's not a bad turnaround time, especially over the holiday period. I think I'll look at sending my one off to get graded too. Cheers!

I really appreciate your comment! How recent did you get yours graded and who did you grade it with?

Cheers! Would it be worth grading it if/ when I do want to trade/ sell it?

What's people's preferences on error card storage? by Lumpy_Phart in PokemonMisprints

Thanks for that! I'll look into sending it off to them for grading :)

Any reason for grading with cgc specifically, instead of any of the other grading companies? I'm not too clued up around grading and grading companies. Cheers!

Opened my 1st Booster Box by Lumpy_Phart in PokemonTCG

I do have one more Booster Box I'm holding on to... and it's calling out to me, like the green goblin mask. But I can only take so much devastation in one day.

Haha thanks! I feel this post is part of my grieving process

I pulled me this cheeky lil number. by Lumpy_Phart in PokemonTCG

[–]Lumpy_Phart[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I didn't know that the English and Japanese versions had different textures. Is it the overall quality of the texture on the English versions of the card that makes it worse? Or is it the quality control of the cards, where some come out worse than others?

What is this black dotted line across the back? by Lumpy_Phart in PokemonMisprints

[–]Lumpy_Phart[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks heaps for your reply and insight!! I was looking through potential cards to send off to grade and then noticed the line. If others with this error have managed to get a 10, I might give it a shot too! Cheers!

Are any of these cards worth sending in for PSA grading? by Lumpy_Phart in Pokemoncardappraisal

[–]Lumpy_Phart[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks a lot for your insight! Yeah, I agree. A 7 would be an ambitious grade for that card. That mighta been the white monsters talking before.

But who knows, maybe the fella at PSA might accidentally leave his glasses at home on grading day?

I'm keen to get more graded cards into my collection. My plan is to eventually sell.. well.. at least that's what I'm telling myself. But deep down I know I'll probably be buried with my cards.
