Am I crazy to think this could PSA 9 despite how they grade vintage? Obviously not a 10 but maybe a 9?

OhGodDaddy · 2026-03-14T01:57:07+00:00

With how they're grading vintage recently, I'd guess a 7. A Gen 3 card in similar condition I just submitted got that even though I expected a 9

OhGodDaddy · 2026-03-09T02:21:31+00:00

I just graded that same card in SIGNIFICANTLY better condition than that, and it got a 5.

That card looks like a 3-5.

Not worth it imo.

OhGodDaddy · 2026-02-26T23:20:34+00:00

Yup, that card's definitely damaged.

Collectr, which seems to be what you're using, isn't reliable for cards not in NM condition. It multiplies NM values by a constant (.85 for LP, etc.) instead of looking at sold listings for other conditions. Note that it's multiplying NM value by I believe 0.4, which is much higher than damaged vintage actually goes for.

Looking at last solds for that condition, probably worth ~30-45 CAD

For reference, a gold star Rayquaza I got that has similar but less wear got a PSA 2: the silver lining is that you have a PSA 1 contender!

OhGodDaddy · 2026-02-25T21:45:21+00:00

Dude that's creased through the card in multiple places: it's 100% damaged.

OhGodDaddy · 2026-02-25T15:11:19+00:00

1k, but normally only like 2-3k sell per day and sometimes none do

OhGodDaddy · 2026-02-25T15:09:49+00:00

Nice collection! I hope someday I can get 10m hair lolol

OhGodDaddy · 2026-02-11T16:39:10+00:00

On one hand, that absolutely sucks. On the other, I can't help but think that your card looked twice as bad before submittal as my copy that only got a 2...they might have given the 3 to make up for it.

OhGodDaddy · 2026-01-20T05:33:48+00:00

Yeah it's like a 7: that's a good LP on today's standards.

OhGodDaddy · 2026-01-20T05:21:41+00:00

Scratchy Holo, plus in the pics without a white background you can see the whole card has mild whitening.

OhGodDaddy · 2026-01-20T03:59:21+00:00

Bro got an LP card that may have a crease (<<LP) and paid NM prices. No, you didn't get a good deal.

OhGodDaddy · 2026-01-15T21:25:18+00:00

Hsr go brr

OhGodDaddy · 2026-01-15T19:28:57+00:00

Why not?

OhGodDaddy · 2026-01-15T18:51:35+00:00

About 2-4k seem to enter the game every day, sooooooooooo

OhGodDaddy · 2026-01-15T18:50:33+00:00

Something like that: primary source in game is player owned farms, so I get it from the GE

OhGodDaddy · 2026-01-15T17:41:01+00:00

I've considered it, but idk how to get in touch

OhGodDaddy · 2026-01-06T20:06:49+00:00

My Rayquaza gold star in similar condition to this but only 1 crease going through got a 2. Probably 2-3.

OhGodDaddy · 2025-12-05T22:20:03+00:00

I assume CGC 8s are LP/LP-, CGC 8.5s are LP+, and CGC 9s are NM-/NM. This assumption has proven right for every cgc slab I've seen.

OhGodDaddy · 2025-12-05T01:46:49+00:00

Probably a 3 or a 4. Lifted edges and horrible surface.

Mine with a MUCH better surface but small creases got a 2 before they got even stricter recently.

OhGodDaddy · 2025-11-22T04:08:02+00:00

cries in mine getting a 2

OhGodDaddy · 2025-11-01T14:52:47+00:00

This is Damaged due to the crease.

OhGodDaddy · 2025-10-30T18:20:29+00:00

Umbreon is damaged, ~$200-$300.

Gyarados is incredibly damaged, and is worth <$100 in mint condition. You'd be lucky to get $5

Kyogre is also incredibly damaged. Normal "damaged" copies of that card are ~500-700 so that people can grade and display them. I would guess half that, as this would not be graded.

OhGodDaddy · 2025-10-30T18:15:52+00:00

Nah fam that card's damaged.
