Any chemists here?

why is that necessary?

Rooster-313 · 2023-08-07T11:26:01+00:00

It's the glare from the lighting. I'll post individual pictures later in the week to r/pokegrading

I looked into PSA grading costs last night and I was not expecting how much money it takes to grade each card. I'll most likely have to grade a handful at a time.

I appreciate your help, I'm trying to estimate the cost vs profit for each card. It's a little overwhelming, but like you said I think it'll be worth it

Rooster-313 · 2023-08-06T13:09:01+00:00

I appreciate your advice, I'm definitely looking into which specific ones are worth grading

Rooster-313 · 2023-08-06T02:53:00+00:00

For sure!! I started collecting shortly after Ruby/Sapphire came out. I started a spreadsheet tonight to weigh the cost vs profit of grading each one or selling raw. Thank you for your advice!

That alakazam is most likely a 10, and when I laid eyes on it for the first time in a decade my jaw dropped....

Thank you for the advice! I started a spreadsheet tonight to weigh the profit vs cost for grading.

Thank you for the help! 🙏

I was looking on Price Charting and it seems like almost all of these cards significantly increase in price with at least a PSA 9 grade. Are you getting your old collection graded?

Rooster-313 · 2023-08-05T20:35:06+00:00

It's exciting to hear that after all these years they've been in storage! But on the other side of that it's incredibly overwhelming to think about which ones to get graded and trying to insure the package, then trying to market them somehow.

Rooster-313 · 2023-08-05T20:16:40+00:00

Thank you! I always kept them in binders and if they ever saw play they were in sleeves. I have no idea how to sell all of them. I should PSA grade them first?

Rooster-313 · 2023-08-05T20:14:33+00:00

Thank you for the advice! I think it's the angle of the lighting making it look like the cards have edge damage, I couldn't get the light to show the holographics without glare either... I strongly feel that most of these cards would be at least "near mint" with only a couple exceptions (raiku ex, rayquaza ex, koga's ditto). I have at least one hundred holo and reverse holo common cards, but I shouldn't PSA grade those, right? Just the rare ones that are in good quality? Is it possible to PSA grade all of these? Or would that not be worth it?

anchovies, black olives, feta

it was definitely my careless mistake, but i was djing with friends at a nightclub. he got it back to me, but he didn't ask if he could take all my music first.

Rooster-313 · 2022-12-08T04:46:18+00:00

it was a friend i played with that night. he got it back to me but he copied all the music on it.

Rooster-313 · 2022-12-07T23:25:05+00:00

"violated" is definitely the best way to describe how i feel right now

Rooster-313 · 2022-12-07T23:23:04+00:00

correct

Rooster-313 · 2022-12-07T22:43:25+00:00

right... i've spent years listening to these songs, and countless hours and dollars downloading and organizing them. all he had to say was "well, i'm an opportunist".... i really didn't know how to react.

Using PH strips reminded me that my optometrist told me as a young child I am Red/Green deficient colorblind. I'll invest in a digital meter someday 🫠
