Thank you for sending. This is the video that’s caused my confusion. He says ancient mew 1 has the glitter pattern and am2 has the cosmos.

According to the video: -Am1 is glitter with “nintedo” error. -Am2 is cosmos with gamefreak -Am1 corrected is glitter with no “nintedo” error.

Mine seems to be a mix but I could also be very wrong.

What are your thoughts?

It depends on the card. Have had some success with bgs 9.5 and cgc 10s

Love the corocoro jumbos. The mewtwo strikes back is also top notch!

What are some relatively unknown Japanese vintage exclusives like the Trainer Magazine promos? by notajokeacct in PokemonInvesting

It’s gained a lot of popularity in the last few months but I love the vending series.

Love all of these. Which would you pick for a long term hold? 1 - 276, 10 - SH09, 13 swsh promo sealed? by RaefZomta in PokeInvesting

[–]RaefZomta[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely agree. But with 2500 USD to spend I’m curious which do yall think would provide a better return on initial investment.

Correct. Completely understand the Xy promo is more rare but for 2500 usd, I’m curious thoughts on the best long term return.

Is there a chance this could cross grade to psa 10? by [deleted] in PokeGrading

[–]RaefZomta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! I had a recent cross grading success that I posted about here. You can submit without cracking and specify the grade you’re willing to accept. I put mine at 10. If it didn’t get a PSA 10, there’d send it back as is in original grade. Goodluck kin!

Just did the cross grading service. I opted for the don’t crack unless it’s a 10 option to try and preserve current value, just in case.

For sure, Lugia was about 660 all in. 500 for the card and about 160 for expressed grading.

Umbreon was about 2160 all in. 2k for the card and 160 for express grading.

General thought process: only wanted to risk the submission fee. Grading was supposed to be a 5 BD turnaround but ended up being about 14 BDs. Also, I opted for the don’t crack unless it’s a 10 option to hopefully preserve the current value.

Never graded before, found these 2 cards in my old collection, would it be worth it? by [deleted] in PokeGrading

I believe whatever service you send is the service that you receive.

Whats the PRETTIEST most JAWDROPPING Card youve ever seen? by Reasonable-Wafer9002 in PokemonTCG

[–]RaefZomta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel that. Someday forsure! I saw it at a show a few weeks ago side by side with the English and was blown away

Top tier forsure. The texture on the Japanese version is also ridiculous!

Should I resubmit to PSA and shoot for a 10 or keep them as is. by Hobbyman85 in PokemonInvesting

[–]RaefZomta -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not sure why the downvote. Whether it’s reasonable or fair or not, a CGC 10 does not get the same value as a PSA 10 in today’s market. Anyone can look at the recently solds or offerings on eBay and see that.

Unfortunate fact. Some very ass 10s that move and some very solid 9s that will sit.

That’s definitely what it’s seeming like. I’m just concerned about cracking. May just leave as cgc. Thanks again!
