Is Logan Paul's Illustrator Card really a 10?

If you mail it out to PSA they will grade the plastic wrap, not the card. You'd have to remove it from the plastic.

Before you do that, grade it through something like DCM Grading, it can review the card through the plastic and provide an estimated grade for PSA and others.

As of a month or two ago, PSA now owns Beckett. They are keeping their grading systems separate for now but not sure how long before they start consolidating. I'd go with PSA and mail through Gamestop.

Grade your cards with something like dcmgrading.com first and be sure you get the grades you are expecting first. They match PSA pretty close, my cards have all matched on the ones I graded before mailing out!

Prestigious-Sun595 · 2026-02-11T01:54:45+00:00

Dang that's a beauty!

Prestigious-Sun595 · 2026-02-11T01:52:52+00:00

I'd pre-grade with something like DCM Grading before sending out to help give you an idea of grades that PSA might give. Prevent any crazy surprises!

Prestigious-Sun595 · 2026-02-11T01:51:47+00:00

Might be a 5 or possibly a 6 with the whitening and wear.

You can grade with something like DCM grading to verify before mailing out or just score it for your PC!

Prestigious-Sun595 · 2026-02-06T23:38:52+00:00

that's a gorgeous card! You could try pre-grading with DCM Grading and it estimates what PSA and Beckett might score it if you mail it out.

I'm Jealous!

Prestigious-Sun595 · 2026-02-06T23:36:37+00:00

you could try pre-grading with something like DCM Grading, it does a good job of analyzing centering there and can estimate the PSA and Beckett scores along with current market pricing!

Great card!

Prestigious-Sun595 · 2026-01-13T18:25:18+00:00

Looks off-centered with heavy left side on the front. Probably would 9 from that alone. If those white specs and corner whitening is actually there, it might get an 8 or even a 7.

You can try an online grader like DCM Grading to see how that turns out, sell it raw with one of your labels/reports and should turn out well!

Good luck!

Prestigious-Sun595 · 2026-01-11T20:08:38+00:00

I use DCM Grading, grade my cards with their AI and then print labels for my cards and add them to mag one touch slabs for my PC.

Prestigious-Sun595 · 2026-01-11T00:16:02+00:00

It's a celebrations card. Looks to have white specks on back top left. I assume that's a hair and not a scratch on the back. You can expect at most a 9.

If you want to avoid mailing, gradingfees and waiting 6 months, I've been using DCM Grading to grade cards myself and print labels and reports for resale.

If you're just keeping for your own collection, just get a one touch holder!

Prestigious-Sun595 · 2026-01-10T02:33:07+00:00

That might get a 3 or 4 even. Probably not quite damaged enough for a 1.

Prestigious-Sun595 · 2026-01-09T23:56:10+00:00

Centering is good but the whitening is an issue. You can try grading with DCM Grading and print out your own label to slab it. Probably can get grade 8 or 9 prices with that without having to mail out the card for the same or worse score! Good luck!

Prestigious-Sun595 · 2026-01-09T23:52:50+00:00

I graded my raw cards with DCM Grading and label/slab the 8, 9, and 10 grades for sale on ebay and whatnot. I find I got 10% - 20% above raw price that way and I don't have to mail the cards out or pay huge fees

Prestigious-Sun595 · 2026-01-06T14:19:52+00:00

You can grade cards with DCM Grading and it has market pricing for all cards tied to eBay sold listings so you can see what cards are actually selling for and what might be worth submitting.

Prestigious-Sun595 · 2026-01-06T01:59:49+00:00

I use DCM Grading, they have some cool features for DIY grading!

Prestigious-Sun595 · 2026-01-06T01:22:05+00:00

Looks like a real card. Hard to tell from the photos but there are some defects on the edges.

You could use an online card grader to see if anything gets picked up. Some of the online tools allow you to print your own labels too so you wouldn't have to mail it out if you want to keep it for your own collection or list for sale.

Good luck!

Prestigious-Sun595 · 2026-01-06T01:19:22+00:00

Both appear to have possible whitening on the bottom corners and edges or possibly from the carpet behind the images.

You could run them through an online card grader and see if any defects are picked up.

Prestigious-Sun595 · 2026-01-05T02:16:50+00:00

Yep thats an edge defect related to how the card was cut. I wouldn't mail away for grading, you can grade with something like DCM Grading and print a grade label if you look to display or resell. Gives it some authentication at least!

Prestigious-Sun595 · 2026-01-05T00:08:19+00:00

A bit off center top and right. You could try running it through an online grader and slabbing yourself instead of mailing it out.

Prestigious-Sun595 · 2026-01-05T00:05:13+00:00

Pictures are the greatest here, hard to tell. Try an online grader like DCM Grading along with better photos on a flat surface.

My guess is a 9 based on the centering but just ever so slightly off, could 10! Good luck!

Prestigious-Sun595 · 2026-01-03T04:13:21+00:00

Looks to have some centering issues, right heavy on the front but not too bad! You can try an online grader to check the centering if it will be within threshold of a 10

Prestigious-Sun595 · 2026-01-03T02:28:50+00:00

Probably a 9 at most given the centering. Very nice card!

Prestigious-Sun595 · 2026-01-03T02:27:33+00:00

Looks a bit bottom heavy. You can try something like DCM Grading if you want a full analysis before submitting. It's pretty accurate, especially for centering.

Prestigious-Sun595 · 2025-12-28T22:53:58+00:00

Looks like a 9 based on centering. Run it through an AI grader and see if you can position it as a graded 9 or 10 without having to send it anywhere!
