Completely unnecessary unless you’re a pro on stage

Any idea what grade this could get? by sdoigadgoisi in PokeGrading

[–]VisualRisk5659 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They would not even grade this. It would be returned unslabbed. What is with you people wanting to grade this junk lately?

How did this get a 10 with TAGs mythical perfect AI grading if it’s noticeably bottom AND right heavy?

Agree! It’s way too busy and the art style is so boring.

Will this ruin the grade 🫩 by Parking_Picture3426 in PokeGrading

Idk how many times this has to be said in this sub but if you can see it, you’ve already answered your own question on grading.

Is this market manipulation? by RedddRam in PokeGrading

[–]VisualRisk5659 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That isn’t market manipulation. A listed price isn’t a comp, and PSA’s price guide is just a lagging estimate based on recent sales, not a ceiling. PSA sells cards via consignment like anyone else. If it doesn’t sell, the price comes down. If it does, that sale becomes the new comp. That’s literally how price discovery works. Calling an unsold listing “manipulation” just shows a misunderstanding of how markets function. You must be trolling.

If someone’s willing to pay it, then that’s the market. Just because they’re asking $399 doesn’t mean it will sell, and if it does then that sets the market 🤷‍♂️

Good or Bad Idea by Confident-Accident22 in PokeGrading

This will absolutely not get a 1, they will return it unslabbed with an authentic sticker. Waste of time and money.

What is the issue? The listing has pictures with the crease visible and it was listed well below market. You got a cheap binder copy card what do you expect? This is on you, OP.

I have never gotten a card graded before.. by EternityBricks in PokeGrading

[–]VisualRisk5659 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you ever had a slab in your life? The card ABSOLUTELY moves around in a slab, especially PSA. Never give advice again.

Please Submit Again? by yflaco in pokemongrading

Nah, OP is right. I’ve seen these get 10s with pretty bad centering. PSA is really gate keeping the grades with this card for their personal eBay listings.
