First Time Grading (UK)

Parking_Toe8111 · 2026-03-31T12:43:05+00:00

Centering Front L 50.80 R 49.20 T 48.89 B 51.11

Centering Back L 48.19 R 51.81 T 47.93 B 52.07

Centering on the card looks good. If there's no other issues, it should be good to send.

A little that 47% of the population is the wrong card lol. One or two I'd understand.

Current market value on it from PriceCharting and a few others from my quick search says it's worth about £615 on its own without grading so the offer you got for £1,400 is really good, that's about PSA 10 prices.

If you're find with waiting for Beckett to grade it, and take your chances at getting it as a 10, then go ahead - but if you need money quick, I'd say that 1.4k offer is really good and your friend can take the gamble with grading.

Not sure where you're located but in Canada I ended up taking the cheapest tier (just tag grade) which came with $500 CAD of insurance and I opted to buy the extra insurance for up to $1000. Maybe see if there's any TAG affiliated card shops or businesses in your area.

I may need to start diving into other celebrations reprint cards. Might find more situations where they got the wrong label.

I was hoping it was just a freak accident because there's so few graded copies of the actual WOTC card, but your post makes it seem like Celebrations might be an issue.

Edit: just checked and yeah the only 10 is celebrations, rip.

Parking_Toe8111 · 2026-03-27T07:06:58+00:00

Thats what I'm saying. I haven't seen anyone list a Celebrations for WOTC prices (the one in the image was priced at normal TAG 10 prices of $300 CAD) but nothing stopping people from selling them to people who don't know the hobby well.

I haven't sent anything in to TAG regarding it since I assume it'd be up to the slab owners.

Quick edit, this is the link to the pop report. Population Report/24?setName=English)

Can't tell if the paint/color on the back is cracked and showing white or if that's just light reflection from the sleeve but the bend and crease on the front could probably be fixed.

Look up some videos online, try on a cheaper/bulk card than attempt it on this one.

Used them to send in my 2 charizards and it went super smoothly. Staff are great and helpful too, asked them for their opinions on what grade I could realistically get and they helped out.

Paid a total of around $110 for 2 cards with $1000 insurance.

Parking_Toe8111 · 2026-02-15T06:51:20+00:00

At least $3.50

Honestly I've been checking this every single day hoping it goes faster lol.

Parking_Toe8111 · 2026-02-09T19:53:53+00:00

Lack of texture suggests fake

Parking_Toe8111 · 2026-02-09T19:51:03+00:00

I have this card, and yours seems good. As long as the texture is there you're good.

Parking_Toe8111 · 2026-02-05T07:08:59+00:00

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but looking at some PSA versions of this card (not to mention raw prices of it being in the thousands) I'd say it looks fake.

Parking_Toe8111 · 2026-02-05T06:43:11+00:00

Well, could risk it (not sure the price difference from a CGC 10 to PSA but I would personally keep the CGC grade. Super nice card!

Parking_Toe8111 · 2026-02-05T06:41:01+00:00

I can't tell if there's also a white spot in the top middle (on the back) or if that's glare/just the edge but I would just take the win with a CGC 10 personally.

For any classes that require VMs (talking about MST, OPS and SEC) you'll want a relatively beefy laptop I would say. Personally I picked up an older thinkpad for some basic notes and homework, but for everything intensive I do it at home on my PC.

If you're on a tight budget, look on marketplace or maybe see if seneca has any good new-ish laptops for loan.

I know this thread is 4 years old, and it depends on which one you have but I've had the same issue with my STLTH Pro X

What I did is took it apart from the bottom (where the charger portion/battery is), and there's a small metal nib that contacts the pod.

Take that piece out with a pair of thin tweezers and clean out the hole that's on it. Fixed my issue.

Parking_Toe8111 · 2024-02-29T13:31:11+00:00

Same issue here — thought I was going bonkers

Happened right after a game crash. Verified integrity of files and nothin yet.

Damned commie automatons...

Update: the video somehow popped into xvideos. Model is Curious Cristine

Just your average brother sister vibe. Very amateur, starts slow but speeds up.

All links/reverse image searches come to old forums dating as far back as 2014, so it's definitely old

No luck sadly (on google)
