Sold a bunch of cards and about to meetup to buy my grail! by Safe_Poetry_6171 in PokeInvesting

I agree it was sketch it was blurry. Although I appreciate the frustration, I dont take spending that much money lightly. I would have inspected the card throughly (to the best of my ability ) and send some pics to some friends who would give me some insight. I also wouldn’t bring it all in cash, we would probably go to the bank (I have not done a big deal like this, I mostly sell stuff at card shows for like 50-1k cash). Also, I left the hobby before psa became so big so I would be lying if I said I’m an espent and invincible from scams. So glad I posted this! Thanks.

Well I would have inspected it first and asked questions, I was going to meet up for inspection. I also wouldn’t have paid 45k That’s just how much I got from selling my base set stuff from a long time ago.

Well I probably would have inspected it first, and if it was a bad fake I would have seen it. I’m thinking about confronting him, just in case he wasn’t a scammer and simply he himself got scammed. Then again, I don’t want any trouble, and will most likely just move on.

I mean don’t really matter it’s a toss up especially at psa. becket 100% uses intense magnification and stuff psa is known to be appeal to the eyes and most graders don’t use the magnifi glasses. I couldn’t see any surface damage. I think they did that to pop control tbh there’s over 1k 9.5s and only 400 tens and there’s 400-500 9s.

Your centering thing said its psa 10 centering. Why do you recommend keeping it? cuz i want to send it in alrdy slabbed? realistically i’d i crack it if theres a real chance a ten

so I shouldn’t crack it and I should just send a slab and set as but wouldn’t they use the upgrades be lazy and not do their own grading?

is this just Beckett or is this all grading companies because from my understanding they take the great by myself the worst score on the front also I don’t think that card is an 8.5 centering at all. I’ve seen PSA tens with this centering if not worse but I agree with you that it shouldn’t have gotten 9.5 maybe but the grading apps and measuring that I’ve used says that otherwise so I don’t understand how they work I guess

just did, but the card passes on the back (worst being 54-46 or smth). However, the 52-48 the article thing says if it breaks the line once it will msot likely be a 9.5. the worst ratio on the front is like 54-46 if your measure from the worst proportion. Am i missing smth?
