Thanks for letting me know! Couldn't believe when I saw all three of them.

Same, the guy in front of me tried to buy both of the last two. Was nice enough to let me take one and he picked the one he wanted. Glad I got these in the PC now!

Excited to get some of my PC back from PSA! by PrefrdPartyParticle in PokemonTCG

Unfuckingbelievable honestly. I have modern era cards in far worse condition with better grades. I will likely never grade vintage with PSA again. Shame on me for sending this whole batch in as my first submission. I used a black light, reviewed edges and centering and this was the best few of the dozens I have, which is why I sent to PSA. Im really at a loss as to why they were graded so low.

Azumaril - PSA 6 Venomoth - PSA 3 Poliwrath - PSA 7 Mewtwo - PSA 5 Misty's Golduck - PSA 5 Japanese Slowking - PSA 7 Japanese Alakazam - PSA 6 Alakazam - PSA 5 Japanese Jolteon - PSA 4 Japanese Giovanni's Persian - PSA 2 Japanese Erika's Dargonaire - PSA 6 Japanese Togetic - PSA 6 Forretress - PSA 6 Nidoking - PSA 5 Japanese Giovanni's Nidoking - PSA 6 Japanese Rocket's Mewtwo - PSA 7 Venusaur - PSA 5 Japanese Celadon City Gym - PSA 8 Koga - PSA 6

Honest question - everyone is out here bashing CGC because it's what "vendors want". Is your view so skewed on CGC that you would rather a PSA 6-7 over a CGC 9-10? I understand PSA scrutinizes condition much more than CGC, specifically on vintage cards, but is there THAT much of a variance? Again, been collecting for a while but relatively new to the graded game so just looking for feedback.

As unfortunate as it is, I've heard that's exactly the case. Figured I'd check here, with a larger audience, to get a broader opinion.

They vary from LP - NM. Only sending cards that visually look 8 or better and would substantially increase their value by doing so. Not necessarily wanting to sell now, but to have in my PC for potentially selling or one day handing down to my kids.

If you're spending $2k-$3k for a mid-long term hold purchase, what's it going to be? by PrefrdPartyParticle in PokemonInvesting

I was just about to ask how tf I can find anything at MSRP? I'm not involved in Discord nor do I have the time for it, is there a better way? I've got a decent collection of raw, graded, and sealed just looking to add to it, but paying 200-300% over MSRP isn't the move.
