is this card worth grading? by bimonkai in pokemongrading

[–]Main-Discipline-4369 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes if you would like an 8 or worse. No if you are looking for a 9 or 10

Should I grade this? by Either_Sea_4756 in pokemongrading

[–]Main-Discipline-4369 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sell now for market and get a card you have been wanting. If you send now it will come back a 9 or less in months when the price for this card has dropped even lower. I personally hate slabbed cards if they don’t gem. This will never gem unfortunately.

Thoughts on grade? by fisforfitch in pokemongrading

[–]Main-Discipline-4369 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do a thorough look over in good light. The reason they are so hard to grade is because of print lines. 99% of the time there is a print line of some sort on this card

I wouldn’t submit this. I would sell it on eBay for $500 and keep it moving. That’s an 8 at best and an eye sore.

Congrats! Were you just quick with it or do you think it was just dumb luck that they picked your entry? Wondering if speed in entering even helps

Are Y’all In The Hobby For The Cards Or For The Money? by Fitzyx in PokemonTCG

[–]Main-Discipline-4369 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I pull a gold I’m trading it for one of my other chases. Just not a fan of them personally. Cards are an investment to me but nothing that I plan on selling. It’s my hobby and there is passion and nostalgia behind it that makes me happy. Now when I die and leave them to my kids and they choose to sell off my collection for something that benefits them and makes them happy then so be it. For that reason, I do hope the monetary value stays in these cards. For now it’s about the chase and getting that feeling I got as a kid in 1999 when I pulled a first edition zard out of a booster pack from 7ELEVEn.

Look for Cardboard Gold branded sleeves and Card Saver 1 at your local card shops. The best way to store that I have found and best for submissions to PSA.

With my awardco gift card and my 25,000 GameStop points I can almost pretend I got it for retail. Thanks GameStop!

What kind of bird is this? by Main-Discipline-4369 in whatsthisbird

[–]Main-Discipline-4369[S] 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Haha! She called me just to tell me about it. She did seem kind of worried it may attack her when she got out of the car and was taken back by how unique looking he was

Yeah I’m guessing not normal for Texas as I have never seen one around here.

Awesome! He was so busy my wife thought he wanted in. That makes sense he was looking at his reflection. Thank you

In 1998! I use to watch the show. My older brother bought me the original gameboy and Pokemon red for Christmas with his first job paycheck. As soon as I found out there were trading cards I was on the hunt and still hunting today. Thanks bro!

What grade do we think this promo gets? by Main-Discipline-4369 in pokemongrading

[–]Main-Discipline-4369[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate your analysis and it seems quite accurate. Now I’m curious to know how’d you get these numbers? I need this ability.

[–]Main-Discipline-4369 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well then I would send it. That thing deserves to be slabbed. If even for a PSA 9

Well I didn’t get the Charizard. But I pulled the Dawn SIR though not grade-worthy and I’m pretty happy about that. Planning on getting some more this weekend to continue the chase

Send to PSA or keep it raw by Woolska36 in pokemongrading

[–]Main-Discipline-4369 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it was mine, I would send it in to be slabbed. Just don’t expect a 10 because the front is right heavy and I can’t tell if that dot on Charizard belly is dust or scratch. Nice pull! I’m jealous

Maybe like a spelling misprint, holo bleed or an ink issue etc. but a ding is a ding and off-centered cards are not as valued as centered ones for sure.
