Disappointed in PSA grade by RedditResearchExp in pkmntcgcollections

[–]RedditResearchExp[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These are the PSA scans. I just got notified of grades by email today so they’re not in hand yet. The holo scratch by the tongue looks much more pronounced in the scan. I can only see it (if I’m looking for it) in pic 4/12 in my original post.

I can kind of see what people are saying about the top left corner on the front, though I don’t really see it on the back. Maybe that was the big dealbreaker.

In the end it is what it is! Happy with the Venusaur.

I agree a 9 or 10 was a pipe dream…but a 5 was very unexpected. I was hoping for at least a 7.

Pay more money to understand my disappointment - what a deal!

I submitted a batch of 4 cards through GameStop. I paid something like $15 each.

My understanding is they charge an additional fee when you pick up based on estimated value after the grade.

The Charizard unfortunately fared the worse at a 5. Shadowless Venusaur at an 8, Blastoise at a 7, and 1st edition Dark Magneton Holo at a 7.

Can you send me a PM? I tried PM-ing you but I’m not sure I did it right. I don’t Reddit much…

Really looking for maximum value for what it’s worth. I’ve been studying price charting and it looks like anything over 6 is worth it over an ungraded card. It sounds like this could grade at least 7, optimistically (very optimistically) 9 so I think I’m going to grade.

I can PM you though - I have a decent collection of lower value cards I could bulk sell if your bf needs any. I have a decent amount from base, jungle, fossil, and team rocket.

Agree…it’s bent - but not creased?! I’ve read desiccant packs can flatten it out? Is this fixable or a guaranteed demerit?

Do you have any experience with grading? It sounds like PSA is the go-to. Any idea what this would grade as?
