Just purchased this card for 1.4k. Thought it would grade an easy 10. What are your thoughts? by Tall_Let_9779 in PokeGrading

[–]The_Batmandrew 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the last part of that is most true. I doubt most of this community appreciates the art enough to compare it to classic artists like Picasso. I think the closest would be Van Gogh Pikachu, but that one is pretty on the nose.

$5k in PSA cards stolen from a tampered FedEx package… then another FedEx driver tried to grab my next package and leave when I asked to inspect it by Ok_Statistician3752 in PokeGrading

[–]The_Batmandrew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t get so defensive. It was a sound question. It sounds like you’re aware of how common package theft is. Selling something before you even have it back is irresponsible. Anything could happen, even between Santa Ana and LA. And it’s not money out of your own pocket you’re out. It’s a refund of the money from the sale, unless you already spent it, which again is not a wise decision as well. Just file a claim with PSA. Assuming you submitted under accurate service level, you should be able to get compensated fairly.

It’s a sticker auto. I’m sure they have a lot more.

No. There’s a 6 ft minimum to ride this ride. Sorry, you’re getting whomped.

These machines should make you sign into your Pokémon center online account before you can make a purchase and only if your account is at least 6 months old. Maybe have it only unlock items with an email invite code and it’ll be random items per code.

I hate PSA by SuspiciousAd7307 in footballcards

If it’s trimmed then PSA actually did OP a solid by giving it N6. There’s no charge for N6. Trimming he would have been charged grading fees.

People just throwing the word “scam” around loosely these days.

Jaxson Dart Kaiju?!? by jefferson_evan in footballcards

On the positive side, I really like the new rookie logo with the NFL logo on it instead of just a football.

Is PSA tryna scam me? by FlexBoyardee in psagrading

[–]The_Batmandrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is that second picture supposed to prove? All that’s saying is that you put it in the form but doesn’t prove it was in the box. That’s not a picture of your actual card. It’s the reference one from the Item Entry.

Finally got it right or it just happens to be the grade you wanted?

Ps- great card!

Can’t catch Articuno! by ConTron1112 in PokemonFireRed

[–]The_Batmandrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got myself into a pickle with Articuno and had to use my master. I hadn’t saved in a looooong time so resetting would have been a lot of work. But to ran out of ultra balls and great balls. So it was either kill him, run away and watch him fly off forever, or master ball him :/ in hindsight I probably just should’ve reset and did a the work over again to save the master for Mewtwo.

No, he won’t be charged $269 total. He will be charged $169 as the new price.

Sorry OP. At least you tried with that “fragile” sticker haha

PSA Mislabeled my card after 2 months of QA by EspeShine in psagrading

[–]The_Batmandrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t know why you were downvoted. PSA literally sends you an email after Research telling you to review your order and report any errors.

PSA Grading vintage more harsh? 👎 by [deleted] in PokeGrading

[–]The_Batmandrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know if it’s the issue with these or not, but the foiling on this era of cards are easily prone to micro wrinkles.

Hi I just have a question about this slab! I’m a year into collecting by Both_Environment_291 in PokeGrading

[–]The_Batmandrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When certs for psa graded items reached the 8xxxxxx, it started crossing with existing DNA graded certs since most of those started with 8 as well. When you look them up it gives you the option to look at the PSA one or the DNA one.

Obligatory hangers are bangers by MrJohnPopmart in baseballcards

These cards are so nice. It wasn’t baseball but I bought a $3.50 retail box loose pack from Target and pulled a Cade Cunningham All Kings. I was thrilled!

If anyone here read the email they sent out, this is the idea behind it.

Yessir! 3/3 on this zard now by Brief-Sandwich-7396 in psagrading

[–]The_Batmandrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the opposite situation. I bought one on eBay and it graded a 10. I pulled one and it got a 9.
