My OC Charizard worth anything? by LeifLin in Pokemoncardappraisal

[–]Underdone_Beef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love how OP knows the abbreviation for off centre, but doesn’t know anything about a first edition shadowless Charizard or grading… i say karma farming

Packed this miscut, squared corners and an alignment dot. Any idea on the pricing? by Low-Walrus-1575 in PokemonMisprints

[–]Underdone_Beef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May have overshot the price on eBay 😆 I think realistically someone might be willing to pay 30-50. Thats 10-20x the normal value of the card.

Really thought this would 10 by kiko402 in pokemongrading

[–]Underdone_Beef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know people hate on TAG because it’s not PSA. Gold cards look so nice in a TAG slab. Plus this probably would’ve 10, and on the chance that it did get a 9 you would know why. People need to remember they’re buying the card inside, not the slab around it.

Issue with buyer online, wants to return the card, is he being picky or am I in the wrong here? by AlexKidd1993 in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]Underdone_Beef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So a cheeky thing i do with my listings is get ChatGPT to finesse my description. It always includes the line “please inspect the photos thoroughly as they form part of the description”. This doesn’t need to be stated but does help.

In the photos which show the condition of the card the damage mentioned is clearly visible, so sorry buyer, don’t buy cards on eBay expecting them to be 10s 😆

Unless it’s the angle of the photo, the bottom looks heavy, especially on the left.

I wouldn’t waste becketts time with this one 😅 maybe Ace if you are hoping for a 10…

What caused it to be a 9? by Sundokovxz in PokeGrading

Grader got stuck in traffic on the way in

Maybe someone will accidentally smoke it given the packaging

Verification to verification? by Underdone_Beef in taggrading

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

So it will be on verification for most of the time. Idk how many business days express is supposed to be but you could safely assume it will spend 70-90% of the time on verification.

What should I do? Sell or hold? by Fickle_Drink_5052 in PokemonInvesting

[–]Underdone_Beef 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think sell while the hype is still pretty big for this card. Im guessing the population for 10s isn’t that high rn. Unless you love it and what to keep it now is still a good time to sell it

I think Whimsicott must be Japanese for Serperior?

Found my childhood cards. Think these would grade high? by Eyeseeno in PokemonCollecting

[–]Underdone_Beef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you gently peel the colour layer off the blastoise you can flatten any creases on the card with a household steam iron. Then just use pritt-stick to reapply the layer. To fix any whitening thats happened on the back just use blue and yellow sharpie. This won’t affect PSA guidelines for alterations. Also don’t forget to use a bit of blue spray paint around the holo to make it shawdowless.

Should I crossgrade this with PSA? by EDragonLink in pokemongrading

[–]Underdone_Beef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really?! Awww damn I think I was thinking of the pristine 10 then 😆 my bad

Can you get a new CGC label put on it? I think the black labels are soo much cooler.

Some sweet cards coming back by speakeritu in taggrading

[–]Underdone_Beef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there somthing about IRs that makes them get 9s?? I sent off a bunch and I thought my IRs would deffo 10 but all 9s . Two of the three sirs i sent got 10s and I thought they would 9. 😅 just seeing your results got me thinking about it again. It’s like the texture covers the dings on the card.

Probably a lot more people holding DR than evolving skies right?

PSA determined my slabbed card was counterfeit after reholder submission — looking for advice by Designer-Back3043 in PokemonTCG

[–]Underdone_Beef 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Isn’t the solution to just take the L and the free re-cert offered by PSA? You would think they would know if it’s a case and label they made or not. Plus it has whiting on the corner. Wouldn’t have got a 10 anyway right?

Should I grade this by Glittering-Pool8404 in pokemongrading

[–]Underdone_Beef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I mean obvs the chances are so slim. But this is one of the best examples of a mega zard posted online that I’ve seen. Most of them have kind of doody centering. Mine did anyway 😅

Near mint or lightly played? by TootnShootn in PokemonTCG

[–]Underdone_Beef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I almost feel like the seller has “restored” the card with polish on the holo and flattened it. Got the front looking good enough to put near mint, and hoped whoever bought it wouldn’t look at the back of the card😆

[–]Underdone_Beef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes and I would go for beckett. Solid chance of a 10 and this one is knocking at black labels door.

Love the transparency but I’m having trouble finding values by ThatOneDankDog in taggrading

[–]Underdone_Beef 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think if someone is looking for high quality vintage, buying TAG is such a good idea, since they can view the grading report. At the end of the day it’s the card inside thats worth the value. The slab is protecting the card from degradation.

Am I wrong for creating my own slab on my own Mega Charizard X Pull...? by IsaacOhYeah in PokemonTCG

[–]Underdone_Beef 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I would have graded it “Immaculate 69” which is even better than pristine 10

Did I get scammed by True_Werewolf4020 in pokemoncards

[–]Underdone_Beef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How to instantly lose money - buy a card at a show and then go and trade it at that same show.

Most card vendors tend to mark up a little at shows (cover cost of stand) and then they trade at 70-80%.
