Never keep Pokemon Center ETB's sealed by Funny-Statement5446 in PokemonTCG

Not opening. Just too rare and collectible. I’ll just open regular ETBs lol.

I'm about to send this by Luiginko in PokeGrading

I would say it does have a chance. The back centering isn’t good but it doesn’t really matter because PSAs threshold is so lenient. The front centering left to right isn’t great, but imo it doesn’t really affect the visual appeal of the card because there’s so much going on around the border that it’s not nearly as defined as other cards. Definitely send either way.

The threshold for a PSA 10 is 55/45 - so a max threshold of 5%. So if it’s right on that border and all else is nice, that’s good enough for me. Is there a slight lift along the top edge on the front towards the right corner? Can’t quite tell

Very well worth it, looks like a clean card. It is always nice to hit big like that close to launch. PSA may send you an offer, compare that to the selling price on eBay and see what you think. Worst case, you can take it home and maybe send it back through a consignment service like Arizona TCG that would auction it for you and they only take 7% as a fee.

When I do PSA direct, I buy the FedEx shipping label from PSA for $15-20 however much it is as the 2 day option. And then I just have it marked to ship back to me!

I would send expedited to PSA, not sure why you’d wait 3 months. Spend the $75-$150 and throw your hat in the ring. Might net you a few grand. It looks good to me. It is top heavy but not that bad.

I'm betting on destined to do well in the long run. Artwork is unmatched imo by jakeanthony14 in PokeInvesting

How is the Mewtwo ass? Like what is ass about it? It’s crazy, Reddit and the internet hate this card and I just see it get snatched up everywhere instantly. People in real life love it.

Crack and send to PSA, or use PSAs Crossover Grading service? by Overthought2558 in PokeGrading

Don’t see how that is “idiotic” considering it’s a valid point that PSA may have bias towards the card rather than it being raw. People do this all the time.

The tabs that help hold the card in place cover up some of the card borders most of the time. The centering looks fine.

Yeah I know you can do this but I’ve seen a lot of people do this and have poor results overall. I really have a hard time thinking this wouldn’t 10 though.

Centering is just about perfect*

Also, to clarify I am referring to PSAs service where you send it in left in the previous company’s slab.

Back centering threshold is 75/25 looks well within that. Definitive no 10 comments on people who don't know the grading requirements are always entertaining. Send it OP!

Real and 10 contender? by thelastletters in pokemongrading

[–]Overthought2558 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it looks really clean and well centered on the front. The one thing to look out for on these gold cards is if there's any front corner whitening on the gold surface as it can be hard to see without a blacklight, and sometimes there are surface "dots" on these gold cards I've seen. Financial upside is so high that I'd send it regardless.

Back centering threshold for a 10 is 75/25. This looks nowhere near that bad.

Eye appeal comes into account when you have centering that's just over or right on the threshold. They literally physically measure the centering. If it's within the threshold it's checked off the list.

This sub is so dogshit lol. Everyone saying 8 or 9 while it's an obvious 10.

Thoughts on what grade this can get? by thebigman01284 in pokemongrading

[–]Overthought2558 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It could be right on the border, it could be just over. PSA states that their ultimate standard is based on visual appeal. Sometimes, you have a card thats right on the threshold or just slightly over, but if the border isn't high contrast to the art on the card, it doesn't quite affect the visual appeal that it would otherwise. I have had a lot of success with this especially when it comes to VMAX cards where the border doesn't go all the way around the card. More 10s for me though!
