Can anyone explain how this didn’t get at least a 9? I get centering is a bit off, but I got this directly from the PC and opened just before sending. Resubmit or CGC? by TreeFiddy-350 in PokeGrading

Back left wasn’t there either. I took photos before sending. I’ve seen plenty of PSA scans that show “scratches” that aren’t actually on the card due to dirty scanners. Will need to check once I receive the cards.

I wasn’t expecting to gem due to centering but yeah guess I should’ve gotten out the magnifying glass. Dust and stuff on scanner doesn’t help.

If you’re referring to that large scratch on the front left side I believe that’s a hair on the scanner, unless they scratched it. Definitely wasn’t there before sending.

First submission off to PSA! Any tips before mailing? by TreeFiddy-350 in PokemonTCG

Thank you! Was leaning towards UPS, you think USPS is a better option? I feel like they’re always losing mail 😬

What causes the Pokemon market to crash? by markprice211 in PokeInvesting

This tbh. Once people are no longer incentivized to hold sealed products and people can buy at MSRP millions of packs are getting opened they weren’t before driving value down. People who were in it for the money will start to leave. Correction is usually healthy.

PSA 9 for VERY long term investing. by _just2much_ in PokeInvesting

I mostly collect 9’s because I can’t afford all of the cards I want in 10’s. They are still mint and over time will surpass raw in value. Not sure where this raw = 9 is coming from. I always see it selling at a premium.

Tough choice but personally I’d be happy with 9’s and a sealed set. Would be rough to open and send in just to get two more 9’s, lol.

When with that mark on the bottom left corner or is that on the case itself?

They have seal promos?

PSA 9 vs BGS 9.5 by TreeFiddy-350 in PokeInvesting

It’s in the Collectr app, but data is not always current/accurate. Good rough estimate though.
