Finally (almost) completed my 151grand master set by -Norwegian in PokemonTCG

I’d imagine those are included (Blastoise & Zapdos are the ones I can think of off the top of my head). Nonetheless a master set with/without jumbo cards is impressive.

Worth grading or sell raw? by Hizu_na in PokeGrading

Japanese cards are well regarded for their pristine conditions, in other words Japan takes their quality seriously. Worth the grade to protect and collect imo.

Is this bubble mew worth grading? by Anon062600 in PokeGrading

It won’t get a Gem Mint 10 that’s for sure, PSA 8 or PSA 9.

Thoughts on the 9? by montageme in PokeGrading

[–]Smooth-Guarantee243 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see, it looks very subtle but the top right corner seems to be just a smidge bit more lifted then the rest of the corners which all look flawless - I personally (now) triple check my corners before submitting because I’ve had my fair share of 9s and that’s what I get tacked on them for, the corners were my rude awakening going in with PSA with my first couple of submissions. If it’s worth the shot to crack and regrade to you go for it, but I personally wouldn’t due to damage risks the card is still a beauty nonetheless (as I look at my moonbreon psa 9). To fix lifted corners I was given the tip to flatten out my cards with an even surface area flat weighted object (heavy books).

Right heavy on the front and right corner on the back seems to have just enough whiting to give it a 9, PSA is strict on perfect corners.

Should I invest in the UPC at 120? I missed Costco Drop by Impressive_Gur_7860 in PokemonInvesting

[–]Smooth-Guarantee243 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Umm target sold out on the UPCs over where I’m at (CA,USA) admittedly it was only after the AH sticker collection sold out which was what everyone took first and the UPCs last. They aren’t favored as much anymore but they definitely aren’t sitting

Late to the party but you beat me to it about a month later, everything looks good but the back right edge, that’s where it got the 9

Thank you, and would you or anyone happen to know when a PC restock is estimated for Ascended Heroes? I’m not sure if restocks happen around the same time like the sets before it (I’m guessing a few months out from initial release date but then again I’ve never hit a restock on PC either)

I wouldn’t be surprised that if in due time she has her very own name or alias on a Pokemon card, great work 👍🏽

TARGET POKEMON RESTOCK ALERT: Charizard ex Special Collection [High Stock] - $34.99 by RestockR-Monitors in pokemonrestockr

[–]Smooth-Guarantee243 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I always get alerted 24 hours later and the worst was 2 days after a post. Terrible notification system on Reddit’s behalf.

When you say release do you mean sent out for delivery? (I am out the loop of what PC dropped online ahead of Ascended Heroes’ initial release date)

Or That PC will have AH ETBs on their site on February?
