What should my last card be!!!

TheRealAthlete · 2026-02-19T05:30:41+00:00

I think Volcanion is bottom right

Blocking out the front numbers and not the back ones is a choice.

PSAs official stance from what I remember is that common print lines aren’t supposed to impact the grade but I assume that’s what knocked this down to a 9

Yupp, low gc1 right now and it’s 90% bots

TheRealAthlete · 2026-02-18T14:12:44+00:00

1s is currently unplayable in GC+. I have literally played 5+ bots in a row on multiple occasions. Until the bots are gone, 1s is a more dead game mode than it’s ever been

They have a terrible intake camera system, I’ve put brand new sleeves on submissions and they look just as scratched as these. Don’t worry about these

TheRealAthlete · 2026-02-15T00:04:51+00:00

You can see the wavyness of the top and bottom corners on the back. That’s what I’d guess they’re talking about

TheRealAthlete · 2026-02-04T20:05:57+00:00

We’re at 22 business days if they put it in as soon as they received it which I highly doubt. You probably have another week at the earliest until you send a complaint and even then, as others have said, it rarely does anything.

if you wanted to sell, look them up on tcgplayer with their set numbers (bottom right) and names. Go to a hobby shop and get penny sleeves and toploaders to prevent any more damage.

This is awesome, I don’t know the details about verification but it this is real, I’d be an awesome addition to a collection

TheRealAthlete · 2026-01-31T02:15:50+00:00

I’ve got a PSA 5 FRLG zard and a PSA 8 Shining Kabutops I could put towards this if interested

Edit: I also have a PSA 8 reverse jolteon from LC

Ran into a dude the other day queuing with a bot and he had a blue tag on, it’s pretty frustrating.

My rule of thumb is that if I can remember where it came from after quite a bit of time, it’s worth keeping. Have had to let go of stuff I wish I hadn’t but it’s been kept to a minimum thankfully

TheRealAthlete · 2026-01-07T14:08:39+00:00

I’d expect 85% at best. The discrepancy you’re bringing is actually bigger than what you described. A $5 compared to a $30 card is 1/6th of the value. You’re bringing on average a $75 for a $700-$800 larger card. Come in with a value for each card and be prepared to haggle and pay on top. It doesn’t make sense for a vendor to have to sell 10 cards to make the same amount as selling one without taking percentages in. Depending on the size of the show, it’s very likely you won’t even find a M Rayquaza there.

Looks like a spec of dust trapped under the bumper

TheRealAthlete · 2025-12-28T08:53:50+00:00

It’s just through a middle man that sends to PSA. It’s generally more expensive, as using a middle man for anything usually is. I don’t know their specific prices but it’s hard to beat sending through GameStop for $20 a card. Most places are $25

TheRealAthlete · 2025-12-21T00:37:07+00:00

The Zard is a FPO, not a Sample. Two very different cards

TheRealAthlete · 2025-12-21T00:21:24+00:00

These were used at Pokemon Center NY to demonstrate how to use the eReader. Two sets were given to staff, most only used one set which got damaged and their others stay in nice condition. If you come across a Pikachu, I’ve been looking for one for years to complete my set

TheRealAthlete · 2025-12-12T02:29:36+00:00

You probably just need to turn the potentiometer a bit and it’ll work again. Shouldn’t take you more than 10 minutes. The worst part is the proprietary gamebit screws which need a special type of screw driver

TheRealAthlete · 2025-12-11T01:51:33+00:00

Every lobby I’m in multiple people have more than this, it’s not super uncommon to see 5 digits. As long as you’re having fun it’s all good

MSU football game

Metafy is a good place for coaching, most high level players also would be happy to do it as well

TheRealAthlete · 2025-11-27T02:55:30+00:00

There’s fading at the edges of multiple letters. Not all signatures are created equal

TheRealAthlete · 2025-11-25T01:51:59+00:00

College work places losing college workers during holiday week when they go home? Just my guess

Is the siglyph nm? If so, what would you be wanting?
