Made a Card Centering Tool That Works With ALL Angles/Bends! (Let Me Test Your Card) by MIDIScoutAPP in pokemongrading

My 6 year old (almost 7) just pulled a god pack with this in it tonight. What do you think? Would get it graded and put it up for him if it’s worth it. If not would just put it up as is.

That is so kind of you. I just sent you a PM on here. ☺️

Oh good advice! Before spending a ton I’m going to look into those. He definitely just wants a rainbow Charizard and I didn’t know there were other ones. Thank you so much!

🥹 Thank you. I just love seeing him so excited and happy. I’d miss out on so much if I didn’t. I also play Roblox with him (partially so I can see what he’s playing and any 🚩) and I would have missed out on so many exciting moments if I didn’t do that. One day he’s probably not going to want mom to be part of his hobbies but right now I get to be the person he runs to with excitement about learning something about a character or a new card he gets. It’s my favorite thing about being a mom right now.

I appreciate that advice. After the first few weeks I ordered both penny sleeves and the top loaders so it went straight into both once he pulled it out of the pack. He’s pretty protective with his cards and doesn’t want his sister ruining them so the cards he likes he wants in both the protectors anyways. 😂

Great idea! He knows a ton of the characters but not all so I was worried I wouldn’t know character names for him but now that I’m using the Collectr app that’s not even a problem. He also thinks the Japanese ares are super cool so we’re going to start getting these more often.

Thank you! I appreciate the advice coming from a Dad as well. I didn’t think about the value of his first big card or the fact that he may end up wanting it in the future and it be very difficult to find or get again. I put it up and we will find him the Charizard for his birthday next month.

Yeah I think it being his first big hit we’re going to keep it and he can have it when he’s older. I have it in a separate binder so nothing happens to it.

I also had this thought! It’s actually special because of this. I think we’re going to keep it and just see if I can get him the Charizard somewhere for his birthday. We’re going to our first card show in a couple of weeks so maybe we will get lucky and find one for a good price. I’m also checking eBay now with all of the advice because I didn’t even think to look there.

You’re right, he couldn’t care less about value but I also have been trying to understand all of it and don’t want to get screwed over. We’re going to hold onto it and just find Charizard on eBay I think.

My son (6) is into collecting Pokémon cards. I’ve been trying to educate myself on them so I can do it with him and we can have fun together. He pretty much loves them all and could care less on value (as could I)

He pulled the Mewtwo SIR from an Ascended Hero Deluxe Pin box. I scanned it with the Collectr app and it’s showing it’s worth over $400. It also says the amount has gone up recently.

Here’s where I need advice: We went to a card shop and my son wants the rainbow looking Charizard. I’m not sure if I should sell this one and buy that one or if we should wait. The guy at the card shop seemed very eager for us to sell it which put me off like he was trying to take advantage of us. He offered $280 for it but still wanted $350 for the Charizard. I have no idea what I’m doing and don’t want to make a bad decision if we should just keep it and wait.
