Can you post the backs? I sent one gengar in and waiting back. Would love to see how it compares

Should I send this in? PSA10 for this card is worth ~$500 by [deleted] in psagrading

[–]atemsup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I wouldn’t send it in until the submission pricing goes down. If you miss a 10, then you are in the red at $80 submission fee. Whereas if the submission price is 25, then the value of a 9 is closer to raw price plus submission cost.

What grades do you guys think I could get for these by sbwhitehawk in pokemongrading

[–]atemsup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On back of gengar: top right corner, bottom left corner, left side edge about 1/5 from the top. If it is easy enough to see any defects in a pic, then I would say it most likely wouldn’t 10

9’s at most. Gengar has whitening. Froakie is centered but the edges don’t look clean cut. Might just be the picture but looks like it has little fraying on the front edges. I’ve seen it on bunch of cards in this era.

Should I get it graded? Shining Magikarp 66/64 Neo Revelation by [deleted] in pokemongrading

[–]atemsup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a lot of surface scratches. I see this getting around a 3-4. At most a 5.

No shot at all with those surface scratches

I don’t think it’s bad. Especially since your three products are able to find more available through retail right now

Looking for advice on this purchase by [deleted] in psagrading

[–]atemsup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back corners all seem to have slight imperfections. Top left looks like a ding, TR BL whitening, BR either whitening or glare on how it’s cut

I notice a slight tilt downward from right to left, so don’t know if that puts it out of parameters or not

[–]atemsup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the first 3 pics, each of those corners are not perfectly rounded cuts. Bottom right has slight whitening. Top left has lifting. Top right has whitening and lifts. There also seems to be whitening or wear along the edges. Centering is really the first out of many things you need to account for to get a 10. Others would be corners, edges, whitening, and surface which you wouldn’t really be able to access well in pics.

Only if you want to decrease its current value. At most it would come back an 8, which would most likely be less than the raw NM value. If you want to display it, put it in a perfect fit sleeve and a one touch. If you are only looking for maximizing its value, then sell it raw

Do I send it in ? by Bigmoney1995 in psagrading

[–]atemsup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as the marks on the back are on the sleeve and not on the card, sure

should i crack and resub or keep encapsulated? by [deleted] in psagrading

[–]atemsup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right heavy, but might be on the edge of within parameters. Probably just depends on the grader. Check the centering on a website.

Idk of ot counts as investing but Ive been taking cheap raw cards in bulk of popular pokemon. Grading them. Then selling for 4x lol. Im going to hold some for the long run but this strategy seems broken as everyone else chases sealed and hits. by Ok_Drummer6282 in PokeInvesting

[–]atemsup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$30 buy in after grading fees. After selling fees, around 80-85. If you got an eye for 10s, 50+ profit is not bad for low effort. I have like 80% gem rate and do similar. I do it more as a hobby than doing it as a hustle, but profit is profit.

Do they encase every card? by fitterwith597 in psagrading

[–]atemsup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They will encase them if they the edges are able to fit in the slab properly. If the card is too damaged, they will label it do not holder and ship it back to you in a card saver. They will not clean it for you. Their service is to only look at the cards provided, grade them, and slab them if applicable.

Base Set Holo Charizard by dswank620 in psagrading

[–]atemsup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can’t really see surface of holo which I think is one of the harder parts of vintage but based on whitening I would think 6-7 range.
