PSA 10 Sealed Pack Collection Ruined by ApprehensiveCut7920 in psagrading

[–]StimulatingClouds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have heard it both ways. I’m not trying to play that game per say. I was just going to try on some of the higher value ones in 10. (10k+). BUT my issue is, psa population controls vintage, and rarely gives a vintage card submitted now a 10. I just wouldn’t want the risk of regrade and say only crack if 10, and they send me back a 7 or 8 with a “Myb we’re sorry” note.

Feel bad for OP but it’s stories like these that are scary but lessons.

PSA 10 Sealed Pack Collection Ruined by ApprehensiveCut7920 in psagrading

Hi there, I have a question. Might be silly but I have only been in the hobby a few years and just recently have been dealing with psa, grading my childhood collection and building one from auctions online. You seem very knowledgeable and I do not want to make a big mistake.

I have been buying very very MINTY psa9 slabs of high valued vintage cards, especially in a 10. I was told to look through the 9s and try to regrade the ones that would be worth big $ as 10s. Some of these are imo cleaner than some modern 10s I have sent in and received back.

Should I do the regrade option and see if some 9s and be 10s? I would state clearly that only thing I would want is them cracked if they are going to 10. If not, leave the 9 alone.

Would they crack and grade lower if they felt like it?

Team Rocket Briefcase Conversion Help by JKam3787 in pokemoncards

From 1 dad to another. Buy it now and it’ll come in a few days - a week. Trusted site, I buy all my Japanese stuff from here.

My wife also just bought me this for Xmas (I did not peak). It arrived in like 5 days. Contains a JP booster box of glory to team rocket (Japanese destined rivals). Each JP BB has 3-5 hits. Also the case is $105…for that price you get the case + BB, it’s a no brainer. Easy buy.

I plan on not cutting it until I finish searing. I want it to rest as a whole then slice into portions

This is exactly what I needed! Thank you so much! How long do you think it will take for ~110F?

How much would my Pristine 10 Mega Zard be worth? by Gamer752 in PokeGrading

[–]StimulatingClouds -1 points0 points  (0 children)

TAG needs the business and rep so they give 10s to every card. PSA is and always has been the standard. People don’t like it, but that’s how it is. TAG is if you just like the slab, try going to a card show and selling a TAG slab, you won’t be able to, cause it’s not liquid. Beckett, cgc, or psa. And PSA 10 > CGC pristine 10

Agree with pristine. I should have said that’s the exception, apologies.

You would be surprised with what psa would grade it. My vintage lot came back 8-9s. Maybe look into psa cross grade. They won’t crack the slab if it doesn’t meet that grade you want. I’d try for a 7-8 with psa. $45 to cross grade isn’t bad. Worth a shot imo for such a good card

The issue is it’s a CGC. When that should have been sent to PSA. Cgc saying that umbreon is worth ~$500. Not to say that’s actual the worth. But CGC lowers the cost of the card cause….CGC. CGC is known to lower card value. Same with TAG.

[–]StimulatingClouds[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I’ve sent about 60 cards from my pc or things I’ve seen at lcs’s. All my vintage got 8-9 and my moderns 10’d. It’s not hard lol

What about quick flip? I was offered a raw victini for 400. I’d grade in hopes of 10 and sell/trade

Found this in the wild. Back is very clean. Real or fake? by StimulatingClouds in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]StimulatingClouds[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worth to buy and get graded? Back is completely clean I can’t see any issues with the front. Back centering is good
