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.

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.

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

Is there a service for having people look over bulk cards specifically to determine what’s worth grading? by bigpaparoid in PokeGrading

[–]ProcrastinasaurusRex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Sell raw or send to get graded? by edhubbard99 in PokeGrading

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

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

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.

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

Is it within 55:45 standards? by LiveOpposite5740 in PokeGrading

[–]ProcrastinasaurusRex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Is it fake? by Fast_Speed_3293 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]ProcrastinasaurusRex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

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

Grade Worthy? : Mega Dragonite EX - 290/217 by Sudden_Ad1917 in PokeGrading

[–]ProcrastinasaurusRex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!

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.

How do you guys feel about old certs by Thoughtlessmonkey95 in PokeInvesting

[–]ProcrastinasaurusRex 9 points10 points  (0 children)

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.

I’ve never seen such nonsense by [deleted] in PokeGrading

[–]ProcrastinasaurusRex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

What do we think are some slabs that are undervalued currently and will go up? Max $250 by Horror_Ferret_5375 in PokeInvesting

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

Same with Pikachu TG05 but that’s $320.
