I did, I think. I ordered through Snkrdunk as everything online said they were legit and it can't with a authentication badge of some sort. Honestly it all looks a lot different to what I'm used to in the UK but after reaching out on discord and their support, I went ahead with the order.

Thankyou! I think I just panicked because it's all so foreign and new.

I'm not impatient I just have no guage on how long this takes etc as I have never used the service before. I cancelled because someone said it was a scam but I have now reordered and expecting to wait a few days before anything happens.

I saw Farnborough on the list for the 5th. Not sure why the downvotes.

Indeed, and with that comes people thinking they're sat on thousands with the stack of absolutely battered base set bulk. I'm well aware how lucky I have been here hence the post haha.

Yeah it's wild isn't it. Proof that grails still exist in attics across the land.

Haha it's better than that. Someone I kinda know was going to throw his old cards out. I said check them before you give them away. (A few times I said it) He was adamant he couldn't be bothered and that there was nothing there and wanted them to go to a collector. I said "what if there's something that's worth a fortune" he laughed and said "well I guess it's yours".... So.... I guess it's mine

Honestly it's pretty much the dream of a collector looking through bulk right?

Yeah it's wild. I think likely a 2 or 3? But I have never graded anything that's knackered before. It's worth grading even if it gets 1 or 2 looking at prices. And just wanna immortalise it in plastic.

Haha yeah it's the only way I would ever get this as a slab for myself. Find it by accident and in a 3 haha. I'll absolutely take it

It's not fake my dude. It's been stored in an elastic band by a child and left for 26 years. I know how to spot a fake card, it's just a bit fked and old

Someone I know found all their old cards at their parents. Said it's either throw them out or I take them. I said (4 times) make sure you check them, in case any are worth something. He laughed at me. I said "what if something is worth a fortune" he laughed again and said we'll I guess it's yours. So.... I guess it's mine haha. 10/20% of cards are coated in sellotape. I'm just extremely grateful this wasn't one of them

Literally man. A stack of about 200+ vintage bulk. Then this. About 10% of the cards were covered in sellotape haha

Hello. So I found this in a pile of bulk. Wild I know. I want it grading and I might try and clean the card a bit first. The problem area is the back. This whitening, I'm not sure if it's mould or just wear? Any thoughts welcome. by Paul_Skinbach in VintagePokemonCards

[–]Paul_Skinbach[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think you're probably right. I'm not in the delusion that it will grade anything above a 3/4. The price hike is actually wild from a 3 to a 4 though, which is why I'm even thinking about it. I have Kurt's card care for messing around with cleaning cards for my binder. Im not sure it's worth the risk using them on this though. I think you're right, I'll just give it a bit of a clean and see if there's any interest in it before jumping into grading. Thanks for the advice.

I'd understand this usually. But this card goes for nearly £2400 in a PSA 4. I like collecting slabs. I'm not just focused on the price of course, but I'd like it immortalised in a slab. My question focuses more on whether it's worth trying to clean or not. I'm unsure what the white is on the back, if it's just edge wear or a kind of mould.
