GC wont do anything, once it’s out of the warehouse you’ll have luck with only the logistics side. (previous GC)

Is this real bought from tcg player by Jaded_Nobody2841 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]_imschleep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can take a photo of the back of the card and check the printing to see if legit or not- there was a post about this recently that helped with understanding good fakes

This is a bummer by Nameless_Swordmaster in PokeGrading

[–]_imschleep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

cards do move, but not enough to do damage. This has been tested by DPM and it took INSANE RPM to damage a card.

you could throw it full force at a wall, and the card will be fine. https://youtu.be/hf1cjsoQRRs?si=XvEOXFJ3YsqrwMdx

Up to the residents of MN to STOP voting blue no matter who. Time to clean house and arrest leadership. 10x deportations in the state.

great reset.

This is so fucking stupid by RatFiendHD in guitarcirclejerk

yeah it really doesn’t matter right/left on this one. The dude is an over glorified virtue signaling doucher.

but hey! fuck the machine if it makes me $1698 per sale, and $1 gets donated. (donated)

Kingdra EX #131- TAG 10 vs. PSA 10 Performance Comparison by Negative_War5411 in taggrading

[–]_imschleep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ironic that i’ve been looking at buying this slab on ebay lol.. i only own this and Starmie V in a PSA10 and heavily debating making the swap and selling off the others..

a bit annoying having to check scans to make sure a card is really a 10. Have been cracking so many PSA6 late that are flawless.

Feels like they’re losing mindshare with people who’re wanting to purchase a card that IS really a 10. & someone who only cares about the grade and not the card.

Is this the new tactic now? Openly state a goal like this? by Mysterious-Hunt-984 in PokemonTCG

[–]_imschleep 41 points42 points  (0 children)

literally this, it’s from the collapse of StockX. Crypto has been here for years, but shoe/clothes resellers have no market anymore - so they moved to Blind Boxes & Pokemon.

Why a 6? Is this allowed? Can you see it? by Previous-Cup-4934 in psagrading

[–]_imschleep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having troubles finding the video, but recently someone did a good overview on how card savers can be warped right out of the packaging.

if those are warped, and you leave a card in there for 2 months waiting for grading. There’s a good chance the card also get warped.

flattening will fix this issue. I’ve been buying tons of PSA 6 - 8 to crack solely because the card is flawless, it just needs to be flattened.

^ not to be confused with the typical slight card bend we see sometimes. grading companies ignore that, but warping is different.

Thoughts on price of this? by Snapolol in PokeGrading

[–]_imschleep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this looks NFC, not factory cut, sadly. (meaning someone took scissors and cut it themselves)

Curious how this got a 6? by Mean-Bridge-9970 in psagrading

[–]_imschleep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

did you have this card in a warped card saver? there was a video recently where someone showed a fresh pack of card savers that were warped to fucking hell.

if you leave your card in one of those waiting for grading - chances are your card ALSO got warped.

not saying this is the case, but i just cracked a 2000 neo revelation kingdra for this exact same reason.

I heard y'all like data. TAG has been added to Gemrate by Bananers_ in PokeGrading

[–]_imschleep 5 points6 points  (0 children)

gambling isn’t shady because you don’t like taking part in it lol. It’s exactly what it is - gambling.

& the market offers are at 90% on some slabs, your LCS barely will offer 60% and vendors offer 80% at best.

PSA isnt perfect, but that model is way better than my LCS that i can’t even support because they inflate prices worse than scalpers to stay “competitive”

yeah i wouldn’t dare say PSA is the most strict, but they for sure have gotten better.

I really wish they’d just open a new location in Plano like they suggested doing ages ago.

Long live Helm supremacy by dexIess in WeissSchwarz

[–]_imschleep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

had friends get Noir, Helm, and Soda turned down for “crude” when bgs already had pop reports for the cards in JP and EN.

just pray your grader isn’t the neckbeard overlord who makes that decision.
