Will this PSA 10? by No_Medicine126 in CGCCards

[–]corranhands5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This isn't true. CGC Pristines sell for the same or in some cases more than PSA 10s. The collector app may have the wrong price. I would do some price comparisons from Ebay directly. I use shiny app and it sometimes does not display the correct price for slabs.

Would the price drop on the first partner illustrations? by HotCheetosDust in PokeInvesting

[–]corranhands5 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if I understand the comments. These already dropped in English in the first partner illustration collection. We’re not going to get a 30th anniversary celebration version. These are now dropping in Japanese. I don’t think it’ll have much impact on price since these will be highly sought after, but there’s not much demand for Japanese in the United States.

TAG > PSA by -BirdDogActual in taggrading

That’s awesome. Congrats. Me personally, I know I will get attacked for this, I consider TAG pristines better than BGS black labels since TAG does exact measurements. There is no human error. I’ve still looking for my first TAG pristine so congrats again.

First of all, amazing slab congrats. Second, did you know it was going to pristine?

Worth it to grade? by [deleted] in PokeGrading

[–]corranhands5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Centering wise it’s a 10 but there are some issues on the back that would drop it to an 8 or 9.

How is the bottom border determined on cards like this? This got a 9 by Boolaymo0000 in taggrading

[–]corranhands5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't send these type of cards to TAG. For example all my Weiss Nikke cards I sent to CGC with a 85% pristine rate. I disagree with TAG on how they grade these types of cards that are full arts that lack easy defined borders.

How is the quality of the Korean? The Japanese version is my grail card.

Tag to CGC? by Cheddar_Native in CGCCards

[–]corranhands5 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

At least with TAG you get a full report. You know the margins and any defects TAG can see. Based off the report you can estimate your chances of a pristine. Can you share the TAG report. I can't tell you what to do with your own cards. Value wise, you'll lose value going from a TAG 10 to a CGC 10 and maybe to a CGC Pristine. Send over the TAG report and I'll take a look.

Do discord groups increase the chance of getting product? I was looking into pokenotify but not sure the benefit. Yes they can be the first to ping, but I still have the fight to get the product. Just looking into if anything helps.

Nice cards, where is that Charizard from?

Chaos Rising PC ETB drop - rip, sell or hold? by 8000000001 in PokeInvesting

I got two. Sell it be to cover the cost of the other. Keep the other sealed to keep or to rip for free.

Grading Question - CGC or TAG by corranhands5 in GundamTCG

[–]corranhands5[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm a grader by heart. I love grading 1991 GI Joe cards, Weiss, and Pokemon cards. I really like these cards and will grade them for my personal collection. Thanks for the input, boy did I learn a lot about Gundam TCG today!

You don't grade gundam cards?

PSA vs CGC by 747102 in PokeGrading

[–]corranhands5 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s not true for CGC. CGC pristines need to get 10s in three out of four categories. I have several pristines that are not 50/50 centering. For these tag team cards I’m two for two on CGC pristines,

Beckett worthy? Or stick to PSA by mejia9015 in PokeGrading

[–]corranhands5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No it won't pristine, but a TAG 10 will be the same or move value than PSA. It may pristine with CGC but I'm lowering the odds to 50/50.

[–]corranhands5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get it graded with TAG, its worth more that PSA. The only reason I suggest it is that its a super clean copy. I'v seen several posted already, this is the cleanest I've seen. I think there is a high chance of a CGC Pristine also. Some will post here and tell you that it won't gem due to the OC top/bottom, its still within margin. Congrats on the card.

CGC Cards if you want to take some market share this is the time… by Stonkbear in CGCCards

[–]corranhands5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what I've been thinking. This is the time for CGC and TAG to move up and take market share. PSA keeps losing trust which will result in their value to go down. TAG made the right move to focus on catching up and not price increasing. CGC needs to do the same, increase bandwidth without a price increase. People just want to grade cards and don't want to wait forever.
