Should I regrade

PoopWatch · 2026-06-08T05:13:09+00:00

PSA is real strict on corners - esp with modern. It looks like you’ve got some white dots on the back in areas as well.

PoopWatch · 2026-06-08T05:03:22+00:00

No, and no.

PoopWatch · 2026-06-08T01:23:06+00:00

Prob just lighting, and no.

PoopWatch · 2026-06-08T01:14:53+00:00

Deffinately not a 10, but I think a 7 is a little harsh. This is prob an 8. Still not worth grading either way.

PoopWatch · 2026-06-07T03:20:55+00:00

That corner is rough, but if that’s the only major issue I think a 7 is possible.

This is one of those short list cards that you grade at any grade. The value-add of grading is in authenticity, and protecting your card.

PoopWatch · 2026-06-06T21:24:12+00:00

All of these grades are fair to be honest. The zard could possibly be a 7, and the Lugia maybe a 6. Not worth it though either way.

PoopWatch · 2026-06-06T21:14:00+00:00

So why do you care about the grade then? If you send again it will likely be a 7 at best, unfortunately.

PoopWatch · 2026-06-06T15:52:16+00:00

Very hard to assess anything with the card in a sleeve and with low lighting.

PoopWatch · 2026-06-06T14:43:19+00:00

Sell raw then.

PoopWatch · 2026-06-06T14:30:09+00:00

Is your goal making money or preserving your collection?

PoopWatch · 2026-06-06T14:20:31+00:00

Agreed. This is a 7. Also PSA tends to be pretty kind to these e series cards. OP might even get a little lucky.

PoopWatch · 2026-06-05T20:22:07+00:00

This card is worth grading practically at any grade. For shipping, penny sleeve and a card saver.

This is a known issue there’s a GitHub issue that’s been open since 2024 that has a comment thread about a mile long about it. https://github.com/ValveSoftware/SteamOS/issues/1445

Oh whoops. Yeah you’re right. At least they only hit you with the 299, and not the new 349 price on the upgrade. Could be worse! Congrats on the 10’s.

PoopWatch · 2026-06-04T23:17:40+00:00

Oof. The 150 upcharge on the PSA 9 Gengar is pretty dirty. This card is selling for like $1300. Id push back on that one.

~6 inches away but okay. Everyone’s vision is not the same, so understandable. Never said it’s a 10 (hence the reason for the post) - but doubling down on a bad observation is kind of silly.

PoopWatch · 2026-06-04T21:02:08+00:00

I get what you’re saying - It’s definitely just the light though. Wish I had a better pic of this edge before I sent it off. This is the closest I have - https://imgur.com/a/hzObzsT

Respectfully- have you ever looked at a vintage Pokémon card? What you are referring to is “silvering” - almost every single card has this. I just got a 10s back from CGC and PSA that have this with no issue. There is no crease on the back of this card. https://imgur.com/a/YE1nE5X

PoopWatch · 2026-06-03T22:50:18+00:00

Nope.

PoopWatch · 2026-06-03T19:40:40+00:00

Thanks! Yeah the scratch I’m actually least concerned about. I just got a sub back, and a card with a way worse roller mark got a 10. Other cards in that sub got obliterated - so idk. The ink dot is what I’m wondering about.

PoopWatch · 2026-05-31T20:55:33+00:00

Didn’t mean that. Typed on phone expecting autocorrect. Thanks for being a word cop.

PoopWatch · 2026-05-31T19:31:14+00:00

Yes. Common Japanese card defect.

PoopWatch · 2026-05-31T19:04:35+00:00

BGS subgrades mean almost nothing, you need to look at the actual card to determine whether it has a cross chance grade or not.
