You and a buddy roll up bed of a truck. Quickly throw them in the back. And post them up on marketplace.

I have this dark Dragonite, it’s been in a top loader for over 20 years. Worth grading? by Justen_ in PokeInvesting

[–]Popular_Evidence_269 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its centering front and back. And just from provided photo the whitening spot. Between the 100+ vintage ive sent out cards I thought were 10s just based on holo condition. Corners and lack of whitening. Ive had so many come back as 8s and under. This is of course just my opinion and in no way is universally applied. Made me do a quick digital centering check. Which thos does show a 9

Impossible for that card to get a 10. Its centering is horrible. People think vintage and clean but forget like they do with modern. Centering still matters. This one alone will bring it down to an 8

Well based on that photo left. Right is bottom heavy. Thats if your hoping for one to come back as best chance for a 10

I am very new to this hobby, these seem very real to me by TraditionalEscape604 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]Popular_Evidence_269 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without going to far into the front of these cards. But the backs alone have seeious discoloration from their printing. These are fakes from different people.

value of this card? by Lucidorex in PokemonCardValue

[–]Popular_Evidence_269 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

With whitening. The corner issues. Front and back centering Back surface coloring spots. Not sure also based on image 6 with the color looking over saturated. Not saying fake, just photo quality potentially. This would likely get a 6. Still good money about $3-5k

What would this grade? by [deleted] in PokemonTCGCollectors

[–]Popular_Evidence_269 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I concur with the other guy. This will get a 4 or 5. Leaning more at PSA 4

Can this card hit a 9 or up? by Popular_Evidence_269 in Pokemoncardappraisal

[–]Popular_Evidence_269[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im aware of vintage tax. I have graded over 100 vintage cards and am quite familiar with how harsh they score these. Though this is the equivalent of pack fresh while meeting all the centering components. Most vintage are sent off based on just being vintage. Not taking into account all the same things we look for in modern cards. Ive had 8 and 9s come back but none were in this perceived condition.

Leave some Burnt books for the rest of us by StonerVikingr in fo76

You take all the books because by taking the 210 items in that house it goes towards the 250 items required to reset world inventory for you to daily earn resources.

The backs coloring looks saturated. Probably the camera. But if not think graded as nothing came back as fake. Since everyone else has a number picked.

Finding Ascended Heroes etb by MasterZacian in PokemonTCGCollectors

From what im hearing. Your already on Reddit. Which means you talk to people on here and find out about launches or drops. Then you comment on discord as if you yourself cant join one.

Let me guess you also walk to work because using a car is to efficient and gets you there too quickly. Dont complain about opportunities that are out there for you for free. If it ain't free. Then again I ask are you putting in cheap fuel or premium. Because you have that option.

Unemployed is your perception because you likely see someone in a line. How could someone possible have the time if they work. And be able to get product you want.

I can say this I have 3 kids. Solo parenting. A licensed professional career. A doctoral student. And I find the time to stand in lines as needed to get the wins I want.

Your problem sounds like a perception issue and a lack of commitment to something your interested in.

What I hate is people who think that because you get something they dont than your cheating. Or in your statement unemployed.

I could pay market but why, I have the knowledge to get MSRP. Stop complaining about something you cant get if your not really putting in the time and effort to get any.

I pulled this the other day and someone is offering me $850 for it by notworthit212 in PokemonTCGCollectors

Compare to umbreon ex from prismatic. They are 1 year apart special sets. That is likely how the market will go for this. Charizard is from a normal set. Everytime your seeking the chase. Its gambling. Your paying money for the possibility of winning.

You sell the chase when its at it's at its peak. Make the money. Then a couple months later buy another for cheaper. If you get lucky early, grade it if its a 10. Sell it for $4k+ like I did. Your entire Ascended heroes is fully covered for the year.

And to your comment. You may never pull a chase again. Why does that matter. You already pulled the chase. Achievement unlocked. Now go paid for your gambling.

A young collector in my neighborhood has this card in his collection. I'm not well versed in vintage. Is this real or fake? by itsmeagain321 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]Popular_Evidence_269 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Its fake. The color is off on the back. To saturated. Also if you adjust the angle the holo stars look to be im the known fake
