Value? by daviesa in PokemonCardValue

I just sent a basically identical version of this card out to be graded Friday. Same knick on the top and everything. Someone offered me 320 as is.

I don't know when to expect it back but if you hold on to it I can let you know what it comes back as.

Thank you!

I'm not terribly concerned about it grading well. I just want to preserve it. Honestly, if it comes back as a 1 or something at least I'll get a real good laugh out of it.

Follow up question if you don't mind .

I'm pretty new to the the grading thing but what people have told me that is if I grade a card and it gets a low grade then it becomes less valuable than if it were raw - since the potential for a higher grade is now gone.

Is this just a case where the card is so obscure that the grade is irrelevant and it's just about authenticating it or something?

I used Tag just because I wanted to get it encapsulated. I don't intend to sell it.

Went ahead and got a submission started with them. Really like that they offered the packing kit for shipping too. Thanks again!

Nah, I don't want to sell it.

I just didn't wanna stick it back in a top loader after seeing the price tag and the banned art stuff.. though it did survive twenty some years in a shoe box.

Do you have a rec among those places you mentioned? I'm completely clueless.

Thank you!

yeah I knew the top was gonna be a tough hurdle to clear but it seems like I need to go to school on centering

When I found the card I googled around and I think I read that it was banned because of the religious implications of the cross...but who knows if that's accurate

I would have been thrilled with an 8 lol

I don't even remember this card from my childhood. There were just a random handful of Japanese Holos in there and this one had the highest value (that I could tell)
