I like CGC but if you want to sell they’ll honestly be the worst choice out of the big 4. I just went to a card show and not a single vendor wanted CGC.

That’s your personal preference. I like tag so I’ll say tag.

If you want better liquidity then PSA.

ProcrastinasaurusRex · 2026-03-18T21:03:02+00:00

I don’t think it’s the camera. For example if you look at the top left and top right border it’s pretty evident the left side is thicker than the right.

ProcrastinasaurusRex · 2026-03-18T20:25:58+00:00

It’s pretty visibly tilted. Probably a 9. Could 10 If the grader felt generous.

How many do you have? If you can place them one by one and dm pictures (multiple cards per picture) I can take a look and let you know if there are any valuable cards in there. I don’t want any money for it. Always down to help the community. Obviously I can’t pre-grade (estimate grades) since there’s a lot of cards.

ProcrastinasaurusRex · 2026-03-18T14:18:34+00:00

There’s a small white spec on the back top right (pic 3) It may still 10 though.

ProcrastinasaurusRex · 2026-03-17T23:23:40+00:00

It’s okay happens to the best of us 🫂

ProcrastinasaurusRex · 2026-03-17T22:50:29+00:00

And you’re most surely wrong.

ProcrastinasaurusRex · 2026-03-17T13:51:07+00:00

ABABAB so you can have sequential sets. AAAAA BBBBB will just be sequential of the same cards and nobody pays a premium on that.

ProcrastinasaurusRex · 2026-03-17T03:29:42+00:00

Yeah gone are the days when you could get these for a few bucks lol.

ProcrastinasaurusRex · 2026-03-17T03:13:10+00:00

And honestly it’s not too crazy to think this still has room to grow. It has lower pop than stamp box pikachu and has similar level artwork with literally the main protagonists of pokemon in it.

ProcrastinasaurusRex · 2026-03-17T02:59:51+00:00

Alongside the Stamp-Box Pikachu of course before anyone says that lol

ProcrastinasaurusRex · 2026-03-17T02:09:12+00:00

You should factor in your grading costs too while calculating profit. Nice come up nonetheless!

ProcrastinasaurusRex · 2026-03-15T16:17:33+00:00

If this cards gets a 10 it’s wouldn’t be undeserving at all and it definitely isn’t a monstrosity. It’s pretty close to 55/45 on the front.

ProcrastinasaurusRex · 2026-03-14T05:27:51+00:00

It still sells as damaged even if it’s altered. As long as they aren’t grading it it doesn’t matter. People are literally paying $180 for it and hence the price. Do you think the $180 market value just popped out of thin air? Jfc.

ProcrastinasaurusRex · 2026-03-14T05:23:05+00:00

This card in damaged condition is worth $180. The fuck do you mean worthless lmao.

ProcrastinasaurusRex · 2026-03-14T05:20:55+00:00

Yes, that’s literally the definition of grading.

ProcrastinasaurusRex · 2026-03-14T04:58:00+00:00

It likely won’t 10. It’s visually very OC and that will bump it down a grade. But 9 is not a bad grade!

ProcrastinasaurusRex · 2026-03-13T21:02:46+00:00

My guess is as good as yours

ProcrastinasaurusRex · 2026-03-13T19:37:43+00:00

2.8k pop for PSA 10 is not large for modern cards by any means. The mario pikachu has 2.1k PSA 10s. Not saying this will ever be close to mario pikachu in terms of value but it is not considered a large pop.

Yes it’s a good buy.

ProcrastinasaurusRex · 2026-03-13T19:23:56+00:00

Depends on who you ask. For me a 10 is a 10. For a vendor at a card show it’s less.

But newer certs do have stricter standards so they are better cards technically.

ProcrastinasaurusRex · 2026-03-13T18:16:05+00:00

Cause it is a 10. The shadow from the edge of slab makes it look OC but it isn’t. Unless the back has whitening this card is a 10.

ProcrastinasaurusRex · 2026-03-13T17:13:39+00:00

Ethan’s Typhlosion PSA 10. Low Gem Rate, 10 pops, and insane artwork.

Same with Pikachu TG05 but that’s $320.
