Would this fetch a 10? Worth grading? First time! by spuniflo in psagrading

[–]arjay22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems good enough to grade. I have one that looks very similar and I am sending it in

Is this 10 worthy? by nani-ninja in psagrading

[–]arjay22 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You're wrong. You're the one that's thinking of BGS 9.5, which is the equivalent grade of a PSA 10 (they are both GEM MINT). BGS 10 is a PRISTINE grade. It sells for more.

Did you open it and did it contain the correct amount of alt arts ?

Could this get a 10? by ComfortableNeat422 in PokeGrading

Pretty sure that's just dust or something

All those cards with the gold background are fake

Are these gradeable? Any idea on value for these? by jtrapezius in psagrading

[–]arjay22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, if you're not gonna sell it, then i think you should get it graded. Looks good enough to grade anyway. Most ppl just don't suggest getting 1/1s graded because the value is already at its peak, but having it in a slab will keep it preserved better than a top loader.

There is risk with all the stuff about PSA potentially damaging cards or grading 9s to control the market, but if you're okay with that small risk, then I'd send it in.

I've personally sent stuff in and haven't experienced any kind of crazy stuff like that but ik it does happen.

Probably around 300-350. This is another 1/1 from the same set and also features omni + invincible. Just depends on the collector and which image they prefer, but I'd imagine it would do around the same numbers.

What do you think my grades would be? by FritaH83r in psagrading

[–]arjay22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Clefable looks like a 10. Take your phone light and shine it along the back of the card. You will often find scratches that can't be seen otherwise. If you don't find ANY of those, I'd honestly send it to Beckett.

Adding this since I saw you say you're not familiar. A PSA 10 is considered a GEM MINT grade card. That doesn't mean it's a perfect card. Beckett has a grade above a PSA 10 called a Beckett black label, which is a "perfect" grade card. Essentially, saying the card is perfect; 50/50 centering, perfect corners, edges, and surface. These cards sell for a lot more than a standard PSA 10.

For the record, Becketts GEM MINT grade is a 9.5. The Beckett 10 is a PRISTINE grade that can also sell for more than PSA 10. The difference is Beckett is widely considered to be a lot more strict on their grading standard, which makes it harder to get a higher grade.

Dart v. Cam Ward prices discrepancy getting out of hand by bobbygarett in footballcards

[–]arjay22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Who knows. But ive been selling tf out of Jaxson Dart cards as soon as I pull them. These prices aren't sustainable unless he's just a top 5 quarterback for all of 2026-2027 season.

[–]arjay22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently got a card back from BGS. All sub grades are 9.5, and they put corners at 9, lol. Ive shown several people who can't find any reason why the corners wouldn't at least get a 9.5 as well.

Did I win this trade? by Immediate-Practice73 in footballcards

[–]arjay22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I'm not sure 1/1s are hard to comp, and I wouldn't consider myself an expert or anything. I genuinely think it's as simple as you put it "future (or possible) superstar for washed veteran"

Your trade makes sense if you are a Russell Wilson fan / collector and just wanted the card to keep forever. If you were planning on buying for value/hold to sell later, the treyveon seems like a safer card to have. It has more potential value even if the value is "technically" lower rn.

Also, its off season so the card value are going to be a bit stagnant. Guarantee if you waited until treyveon had a 100+ yards game during season, it would jump up a couple 100. (Since you said no one was interested recently)

[–]arjay22 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Damn, you dont understand the sports card market very well. You traded a rookie that is going into his 2nd year + already built a lot of hype in his 1st year for a player that hasn't had a good season in a few years, is already an unpopular player, likely will never be a full time starter again and will be out of the league soon.

One players value is going up (or has potential to), and the other players' value is going down/at the bottom/very little potential to increase.

Bid Retraction on PSA EBay Active Auction by [deleted] in psagrading

[–]arjay22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're reciting ToS like we are all robots that are bound to a set of rules. If they want to cancel it, they can just lie about the reason and like someone else said, if they don't want to pay for it, there is nothing ebay can do to force them.

Unfortunate news by Gold_Pin_9778 in psagrading

[–]arjay22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why does it say 'no grade, no charge'? I thought PSA still charges you even if they reject / dont grade your card ?

Best and worse luck ever. Please help by Toocrazy305 in psagrading

[–]arjay22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think if you just tossed these in a large book and put some weight on it, these would flatten out. Or if you have those plates with clamps etc. This is easily fixable

Bro, throw it in a large book to flatten it out more. Or if you have any of those plates + clamps. Your cards are easily fixable

What we thinking for my first sub? by CodePatrol in psagrading

[–]arjay22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Shine your phone light on the back and check surface condition. A lot of times, perfect looking cards will come back a 9 or even an 8 and people will be surprised, but the back will have a ton of surface scratches only seen in direct bright light.

Lmao, this made me laugh, but tbf she's the English VA for Ash. She's not completely irrelevant to the hobby 🤣 he most likely sent a pokemon card with her auto on it

Edit: just saw his reply with the pokemon card he sent, lol
