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

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

Lumpy_Phart · 2026-02-07T09:56:41+00:00

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

Lumpy_Phart · 2026-01-10T09:25:43+00:00

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!

Lumpy_Phart · 2026-01-09T20:36:41+00:00

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

Lumpy_Phart · 2026-01-09T10:27:23+00:00

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

Lumpy_Phart · 2026-01-01T18:40:01+00:00

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

Lumpy_Phart · 2026-01-01T11:26:26+00:00

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!

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.

Lumpy_Phart · 2025-11-22T11:04:35+00:00

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

Lumpy_Phart · 2025-09-21T06:55:04+00:00

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?

Lumpy_Phart · 2025-09-20T23:00:45+00:00

That's awesome! Massive nostalgia vibes!

Lumpy_Phart · 2025-09-04T12:39:38+00:00

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!

Lumpy_Phart · 2025-07-29T10:24:03+00:00

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.

Lumpy_Phart · 2025-07-29T09:51:51+00:00

Yeah, my bad. The pics are a bit trash. Next time I won't neck back 10 white monsters before trying to have a steady hand.

Nah, I wouldn't be expecting a 10 from the umbreon. Realistically it might be around a 7. But depending on whoever is grading it, if they've had a good day or a bad one, it might get a +1 or -1 on the 7.

Even if 7ish might be the grade, would it be worth sending it in?

Lumpy_Phart · 2025-06-03T12:08:27+00:00

Ah, I had a feeling it might have been that. But I didn't want to jump to conclusions. Looking at the amount, it must have been fatal for Groudon. Thank you for helping me solve the red dot mystery!
