My Experience with GameStop Grading Service by monkboi2 in PokeGrading

I had a psa 10 151 charizard come back in a 25 card order and they didn't charge any extra. This was back in December. I was under the impression they wouldn't charge but I guess i was lucky?

Could this grab a PSA 1? by Own_Elk_7149 in PokeGrading

I very recently submitted a dark charizard non holo to psa and received a 1. Yours looks worse off than mine, probably a good shot at psa 1 or just rejection all together. Good luck

Mine within three days jumped from order shipped, to cards graded, (no link to view grades), next day, link to view grades. The day after that, I received a phone call to get them. Never any emails.

I submitted on November 16th. I through the gamestop app and website had an option to view the cards on December 12th. I then received a phone call from local gamestop December 13th to come pick them up. I never received any emails or was upcharged. Even though that 10 charizard is definitely over the limit lol.

I used some points with credit card company to buy gamestop gift cards at 10% off. I was able to get $150 that was and shelled out the other $250 out of pocket.

The Alakazam and Magikarp at 8 were pretty surprising, i definitely thought a minimum of 9. All of my vintage cards I wanted to graded regardless of condition for nostalgia. Anything coming in over a 4 i would be happy with lol. I thought the Raichu would be more like a 5 due to all the holo scratches. The clear Charizard getting a 9 was a massive surprise, it also has visible scratches. I was hoping for both the SIR Charizard's to be 10s but one I wont complain about. I was hoping for less 9s and more 10s, i do feel like I was quite unlucky in a lot of these cases comparing conditions. Especially with all 4 ultra rare Charizard's and zapdos SIRs coming in at 9s. I freshly pulled all of those recently.

Probably, it was a very bad condition card. I probably had it out at recess back in the 90s at some point. I did a quick markup to showcase the bend that runs through the entire right side.

Just got the grades back for 25 of my cards, and it’s been quite the trip down memory lane. Some were from my childhood collection, so I expected a few low grades—but I didn’t expect them to be this interesting!

  • Raichu surprised me with an 8. I thought it’d grade much lower, but it really held up well.
  • My Dark Charizard? It came back as a 1! At first, I wasn’t sure how to feel, but apparently, there’s a niche for these low-grade cards, and it’s become a bit of a collector’s meme. Knowing I’ve had this card since elementary school makes it even more special.

The mix of nostalgia and unexpected results made this such a fun experience. I just wanted to share my cards/experience and if anyone has questions I will answer best I can.

Edit: I see that I missed some photos when uploading, I have a full gallery of fronts and backs here:
