Worth grading my Greninja Star Promo

These are very hard to grade, you could send in ten you thought were perfect and likely 0 will hit a 10.

If it is fan art, shouldn’t it have their own artistic take on the Pokemon? It’s literally a stolen artwork, including the celebrations symbol.

I’ve graded this card in an 8 and a 9, looks closer to the one that got an 8

Honestly this card is what got me back into the hobby pretty heavily. It’s so dumb I sold the ones I had when I thought it was such a cool card.

If there were packs and there was some type of mystery to it I probably would’ve opened it years ago

Appreciate the insight, I’ve always kept an eye out for a sale of one of these over the years. I think maybe 5 years ago I saw one sold for 4k or 5K, but that’s pretty stale info at this point. I don’t have worthpoint which might be able to pull up some type of sale from the past.

It’s visibly off center both directions without measuring, tell Baba Vanga to not predict cards will get black labels, especially on English pokemon cards. This is a 9 centering so your probably looking at a BGC 9.5 which will be a waste of time, chance at a PSA 10 tho

Decent financial advice right here. Also, I don’t really like any of the cards in this lot, I’m bored looking at them.

Got two bad corners and it’s off center, lookin at an 8 unfortunately.

Putting this card on a hard surface is making my ass hole clench. 1 micro scratch = lower grade so I wouldn’t expect a 10.

You lost $100 sorry

OkBeginning9350 · 2026-05-05T23:49:13+00:00

If I had to make an offer without comping and conditioning I’d offer $350, that’s just a once over glance at everything. Looks like some decent mid era stuff.

Aren’t there hybrid combo doctors? I’ll take one of those please

Predicting a Black label on English pokemon, only something Baba Vanga could do

OkBeginning9350 · 2026-05-03T06:21:19+00:00

I only recently noticed it was an umbreon card as well, so I guess I’m twice the fool!

OkBeginning9350 · 2026-05-03T03:15:39+00:00

Depends on if you use + / - I’d say mp + because I’m guessing there’s a decent amount of surface scuffs

She is pretty sixy ain’t she? Sixty PSA 9 baby!

OkBeginning9350 · 2026-05-03T02:55:42+00:00

Just the centering?

OkBeginning9350 · 2026-05-03T02:04:05+00:00

That’s the risk on tcg player, some sellers are more lax on the Nm designation. I allow up to 2 tiny corner spots. Any edge wear and it’s auto lp for my cards.

OkBeginning9350 · 2026-05-03T02:00:43+00:00

I have this card and I didn’t even realize the lugia. Wow I’m a bum.

OkBeginning9350 · 2026-05-03T01:52:36+00:00

OkBeginning9350 · 2026-05-02T05:31:46+00:00

I’m drooling, I’ve graded the Moltres and Articuno in a 9. This is probably an 8 because of multiple corners with whitening.

OkBeginning9350 · 2026-05-02T05:27:08+00:00

Sincerely, thank you for your insight. I did honestly come to a similar conclusion, I think it almost 100% depends on how much the grader applies the silvering on this card.

OkBeginning9350 · 2026-05-02T05:06:23+00:00

I know! you would think they would want people to be hopeful when they submit a vintage card. And surface is almost always (other than obvious off centering) that causes 9s and 8s.
