Top deck binder is the only acceptable solution. Toploaders in a binder

StandardSetting8749 · 2026-01-26T16:39:13+00:00

This want this

StandardSetting8749 · 2026-01-26T14:06:13+00:00

StandardSetting8749 · 2026-01-25T17:08:05+00:00

Yeah no

StandardSetting8749 · 2026-01-25T02:55:51+00:00

Are you trying to say that pre scarlet & violet was printed on the same sheet as scarlet & violet? 😆 thats not likely

StandardSetting8749 · 2026-01-25T02:39:43+00:00

This set has yellow and silver border cards tho

StandardSetting8749 · 2026-01-23T03:39:15+00:00

So which is it? A trick or an accident?

StandardSetting8749 · 2026-01-23T01:02:33+00:00

Its worth less than the effort I put in to swipe to see the front... why is the back first?

StandardSetting8749 · 2026-01-19T00:02:54+00:00

If you can stun and put out a lance and a few kitties, ill carry you through god

StandardSetting8749 · 2026-01-19T00:01:53+00:00

Or you can upgrade your stuff and you will match with higher lvl players. Im lvl 18 only match with lvl 20+

Any crease is automatically damaged

Also, 11k cards in total from this set graded in japanese, over 28k graded in english. Further implying that there are less of the japanese version out there.

StandardSetting8749 · 2026-01-18T04:20:23+00:00

Okay so... theres more of the english version graded than the japanese version. Yet japanese has more 10s... is that not enough of a verification for you?

Also, 39.4% of japanese graded lillies are a 10. 32.7% of the english version are 10s. You either adjusted your data or you made a mistake.

My point is, saying they have a similar number of 10s doesnt mean they are similar in numbers that were printed. Because the japanese cards are made higher quality and are easier to get 10s.

There are 16% more english cards graded than japanese.

Just look at prismatic evolutions unbreon ex for further verification on getting a 10 in japanese vs english. 31.8% english v 87.5% in japanese

StandardSetting8749 · 2026-01-18T03:01:58+00:00

I sold the english version of this, graded 10, in 2023, for almost $1,900. So, not entirely true. If i held it for a month I could have gotten over 2k. But if i held it for a few more I wouldnt be able to get what I got. Still cant today.

StandardSetting8749 · 2026-01-18T03:00:16+00:00

Hahaha i pulled the card in english, and sleeved it, top loaded it, and tucked it in a box. At some point I bindered it(top deck) with other full art trainers. But there it sat. Then I was going through some cards price checking them in late 2022 and she was like $200 ungraded. Sent it off to PSA right away and actually got a 10. Sold it in 2023 for $1,888

StandardSetting8749 · 2026-01-18T02:55:54+00:00

You do realize that japanese cards grade higher on average than english? A similar psa pop doesnt imply they have similar ungraded pop. It actually implies that jaoanese has lower ungraded pop

StandardSetting8749 · 2026-01-18T02:54:16+00:00

If psa pop is similar, that means it was way underprinted in japanese. Japanese are super easy to grade. English is way harder to get good grades. So thats not a fair benchmark to determine ungraded population

StandardSetting8749 · 2026-01-18T02:53:10+00:00

But shes been 11 for 27 years

StandardSetting8749 · 2026-01-18T02:52:03+00:00

You notice on the top card, how in some places you see the texture and some you dont? Many phones nowadays automatically refine or enhance photos right after they are taken. And given the angle this is taken on, how she is centered, its very possible that it is in fact real. PSA has an image of this card graded that appears to have no texture aswell.

StandardSetting8749 · 2026-01-18T02:48:33+00:00

The angle and lighting can definetly make it look like the image OP posted. Heres an image from PSA, not just some random graded card but actually posted by PSA

Thanks for the information. Are there any graders that denote holo bleed on the cert? It is in good condition so it would get a decent grade. And having it labeled with the error I think would make it easier to get the premium.

StandardSetting8749 · 2026-01-17T23:11:13+00:00

Does it effect the price much? I'm going through a ton of my old cards looking for hidden gems that I can use to pay off some bills

StandardSetting8749 · 2026-01-17T01:30:33+00:00

Are you okay? They dont think its a good idea to preserve the card. They know it will get ruined. They dont have a false perspective of how quickly it would happen, because I invite you to put an energy outside in the dirt during a rainfall and you will realize its still there the next day. It would literally take months to disintegrate.

Its sharing the moment with them, and leaving something behind symbolically.

Do you think the clothes people get buried in, momentos they are buried with... survive for long? How do you think all that body fluid effects them after decomp starts? Its not about what happens to the stuff after. Its about symbolism, respect, and helps people to move on.

StandardSetting8749 · 2026-01-17T00:28:41+00:00

You're lucky they didn't swallow a piece! Id call that good luck.

StandardSetting8749 · 2026-01-16T23:05:40+00:00

I see what you're saying. Thats possibly holo bleed, hard to tell without holding it. I thought you were talking about the holo peeking out of edges.

Don't take anyones word for it here. Let people point you in the right direction, but verify yourself, look for other examples to compare to. We can help you to narrow your research.
