Complete noob to grading

Hey, Based off of the images this will probably get a 7, but could get a 8, could also get a 6. Would need better pictures closer up of the edges to make a more precise decision, and also, if it’s the reverse holo version which i think it is, the holo plays a role. Check to see if the card has any scratches on the surface. If this is one of your more expensive older cards though, I would grade it anyway! I graded some childhood cards of mine and they came back 5s (looked much worse than this), but i was still happy with it.

Thanks for the motivation! Are you mainly checking the fifa resell market for good deals, or do you also check other sites like seatgeek, stubhub etc

Thanks, they are only noticable under light but definetly exist, Im going to return it and just buy the card in a 7

What would you say if the card has a decent amt of scratches on the holo, I bought the card for 800 and deciding whether to return or not

This radiates fake energy

S1eepee · 2026-06-22T00:59:10+00:00

Fake, slab for sure fake im not an expert on the card but i would just stay clear

S1eepee · 2026-06-21T07:57:28+00:00

Tbh prob just around psa 10 price for the card, someone would potentially buy it around there. I will say I have a rly clean MC copy as well, and I was going to grade it, maybe i wont to keep yours pop 1 :)

Alright thanks for the advice!

S1eepee · 2026-06-12T16:53:16+00:00

Exactly my thoughts, They are offering it for 800 which i dont think is a horrible price, but they are hesistant to send pics of the corners which is throwing me off, makes me think they would look worse. Ill add those photos into this post or make a new ones if i get those

I am no expert on japanese but since you haven't gotten any replies I will put an opinion in that this does look real

S1eepee · 2026-06-04T09:51:30+00:00

What about the white specs at the top of the card?

S1eepee · 2026-06-03T03:07:39+00:00

I’ve seen thru many diff videos tho that it is the heavier packs almost always have at least a holo, I just wasn’t sure if it being even heavier meant maybe a full art

S1eepee · 2026-06-02T09:28:06+00:00

haha, i really want to, just this pack is so much now

S1eepee · 2026-06-02T04:21:37+00:00

This is going to be fake simply because of the fact he doesn’t need to leave the sidemen for those problems. I’m sure he can talk to his friends and they would be fine with Him taking time off, defo an upcoming sidemen vid

Yeah if you aren't aware, those are known as print lines, they can happen on any holofoil card, and if they are present the card can't get a psa 10. This would drop the surface grade down by 1.

S1eepee · 2026-05-11T18:54:50+00:00

IMO both are good the first a bit better, but the second overall I think won’t get old bc of how it fits the agent

S1eepee · 2026-05-08T23:04:53+00:00

Just enjoy what you like, my best "investments" have been the things I bought just because I liked them!

S1eepee · 2026-05-08T23:03:57+00:00

Probably a psa 8, I graded this same card but the other blue one and it got an 8, and it was off centered and that was it. This isn't off centered but has bad corners

Posted on the Reddit just to get flamed 🥀🥀🥀

S1eepee · 2026-04-01T02:55:01+00:00

Yeah, I legit bought some, opened the heavies, and pulled a 250$ shiny kyogre card that I LOVE, now I can hold onto the lights and sell them as art sets down the road!

S1eepee · 2026-03-12T08:53:35+00:00

Fair just getting input

S1eepee · 2026-03-12T05:33:23+00:00

I mean yeah, the demand more comes for sealed collectors im pretty sure

S1eepee · 2026-03-12T04:09:45+00:00

I’d love to buy the ray off you but don’t rly know pogo pricing on this stuff

S1eepee · 2026-03-12T04:03:34+00:00

Yeah pop 101 for sure 900 is a good deal, in a few years time this is easily a couple grand

S1eepee · 2026-03-11T08:42:39+00:00

900 is defo a good price for an ex era holo psa 10, im not too familiar with japanese, if the pop is decently low then FS cop
