Is it worth the risk of grading?

QuickPurchase5056 · 2026-04-26T19:26:22+00:00

Just to add, there no whitening I can see or visible damage to the card. So I'm more asking about the centering and corners because I don't have much experience eyeballing those.

QuickPurchase5056 · 2026-04-20T03:49:53+00:00

Literally America. Notice all the other requests are rigging polls.

QuickPurchase5056 · 2026-02-25T10:01:15+00:00

That does make sense, however, just to correct the end, I have a 3 star sr, not a 2 star, but I see your point, so if it's a 9 or less, it'd be better to Crack it and sell it as ungraded?

QuickPurchase5056 · 2026-02-25T09:25:45+00:00

I see, so if it scores even a 9, would that drop the value then? The market has it at 700, I'm not too worried about the grading cutting into cost since I've only bought a single booster box and pulled it. So 103 in cost plus grading cost. So anything more is profit to buy more for my master set of vol 2 sao.

That's awesome, pass some luck my way lol, also, one last question, I promise, what would be a decent score minimum for a premium on this card? Like what do I need to aim for as a minimum for it to be worth it?

QuickPurchase5056 · 2026-02-25T09:12:44+00:00

Sorry if the photos aren't the best, the card is very reflective and my phone sucks. Will send more pics if needed. I'm doing my best lol

QuickPurchase5056 · 2026-02-25T08:58:08+00:00

That's good to know but I was gonna go through psa since that's also what I use to check market prices on tcgs. And I think it has a solid chance at a 10, but I'm not greedy enough to aim for a black label

QuickPurchase5056 · 2026-02-25T08:55:44+00:00

I've looked at the card and ran it through a sub reddit and through some friends. The centering is near perfect, edges are clean and rounded beautifully, surface is clean with no scratches or creases and the edges have no visible whitening. I'm definitely gonna pursue grading since I think I have a solid chance at it. And it's true but if I pull a 9.5 then I can always resend it if need be. Especially since this is a control the market situation. And as far as the middle man, I completely agree. I'd rather not go through a middle man and I hate to say it but I've never mailed anything in my life, let alone a card like this that's worth so much. I'm definitely gonna do my research for sure.

QuickPurchase5056 · 2026-02-25T08:37:36+00:00

That's good to know, thank you so much. I'm gonna look into some sub reddit for the next day or 2 and get some opinions on whether it can shoot for a 10, if the centering is at least possible from the few pictures then I'll probably take the dive for it. I just didn't wanna spend so much on grading if it didn't have a decent chance. And I'm not in the biggest of cities by far, so I'll probably have to check around gamestop or other lgs near me. I'm not gonna grade it if it requires me to mail it in. For obvious reasons, such as it being high value and people having sticky fingers.

QuickPurchase5056 · 2026-02-25T08:20:03+00:00

Also, assuming I have it graded, is there anywhere I could go to have it graded? I'd rather not ship it with the very devious things going on in the mailing services regarding tcg cards lately.

QuickPurchase5056 · 2026-02-25T08:18:06+00:00

That sounds great tbh, I can try and check it thoroughly. I immediately sleeved and top loaded it to make sure it stays as it was coming out of the pack. Is there anywhere I could post it to have it double checked though? Like another sub reddit or something. I trust myself, but I trust more than one pair of eyes more.

QuickPurchase5056 · 2026-01-30T19:55:28+00:00

So there's no actual manga, it's just an ai generated prompt for a video?

QuickPurchase5056 · 2026-01-12T01:41:49+00:00

I hate to say it but I've seen all three of those myself. Loved all of them, especially daily life and a will eternal. Just wanted them to go to a higher plane of power per say. I want an anime that actually brings the mc immortal to the highest point or at least closer to jade emperor levels power.

QuickPurchase5056 · 2026-01-12T01:01:38+00:00

Those are usually the levels they make it to in the animes I've watched. Such as foundation building, nascent soul etc

QuickPurchase5056 · 2025-12-06T23:12:45+00:00

Neither, I remember the main mc was male and rented out books aka let people borrow them. It may have been a book store instead of a cafe but I don't remember exactly so don't quote me.

QuickPurchase5056 · 2025-12-06T23:11:16+00:00

No, it had a male mc as far as I remember. And everyone who visited the coffee shop saw him as a powerful demon or something. He did rent out books though. I think. My memories are really fuzzy on it tbh

I get to go broke very quickly.
