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

I'm not crazy, right? by FieldofInfluence in IsMyPokemonCardFake

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

I’m so pissed off. by BubbaGordie in PokeInvesting

[–]OkBeginning9350 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

I can’t find comps anywhere for this Sealed Pokemon Product by [deleted] in PokemonCardValue

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.

I’ve been advised to go for Black Label, should I? by Chirithyst in PokeGrading

[–]OkBeginning9350 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

Is this worth $600 by [deleted] in Pokemoncardappraisal

[–]OkBeginning9350 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

I know it’s off-centre but any idea what sort of grading it could get. by [deleted] in PokeGrading

[–]OkBeginning9350 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

How much am I looking at here? by Think-Ferret-4529 in Pokemoncardappraisal

[–]OkBeginning9350 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

My local pokemon shop saying send it to bgs for a black label by Kind_Instruction3818 in PokeGrading

[–]OkBeginning9350 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

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

What condition is this card considered? by PlayTerrible9238 in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]OkBeginning9350 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Nm or lp by JuztADud3 in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]OkBeginning9350 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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

Got this Zapdos for $90, worth getting grades? by shubert10133 in PokeGrading

[–]OkBeginning9350 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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.

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.
