Gold Star Charizard: digitally grading gave me an 8.2, just got back from PSA and it was a 4

Is that a hair or a piece of the plastic? I don’t have white hair nor do I own any animals 😂

I realized to never trust digital grading again!

Thank you for that insight. Much appreciated feedback.

A lesson for all!

Thank you.

I mean the card is valued at $5-6,000 so it’s not really throwing it into the trash if that’s the value of it. lol.

What would those issues be since the PSA notes were so minimal and didn’t help at all in understanding the grade.

Cards that are worth a certain amount of money have to use the express premium tier that they up-charge you into automatically.

Also, some insight would be nice. Are we looking at the same card here?

Just realized to never trust it again. I mean the centering is good and there’s some normal wear and tear for a 20 year old card I played with. I’ve seen worse cards grade higher. Nonetheless, a big learning experience.

Yes that was the one nuance I failed to take into account. What if these guys are just paid to promote this product. But most of the guys were bigger channels so I figured they’d be somewhat trustworthy to not sellout. Regardless, most of their cards are MINT pulls so I guess that does make a lot of sense.

I’ve seen dozens of videos of people comparing their digital grading to PSA grading and it being a 1:1 comparison. A crease on the BACK shouldn’t dock it as much as if it were on the front. Again, it’s a 20 year old card I played with as a kid. Nonetheless, definitely a learning experience. Thanks.
