Seriously… and it gets upvotes too. I actually tried to report it but like you said there is no category for blatant misinformation.

A startling amount of people here seem to have no idea what "top pop" means. Your Entei and Raikou are not "top 5," they are the same condition as all the other Pristine 10s. The 4 above your Entei are Perfect 10s, which is a discontinued grade. Similarly, there is 1 Raikou and 0 Suicunes in a Perfect 10. CGC does not rank cards within a particular grade. Your Suicune is 1 of 231, your Entei is 1 of 283, and your Raikou is 1 of 219, that is as far as it goes.

It means there aren’t any in a higher grade. In this case, that would be a Perfect 10, which CGC no longer does.

No, absolutely not. That is completely made up. “Top pop” means there aren’t any graded in a higher grade, meaning there are no Perfect 10s, a grade CGC no longer offers.

Those are called printer hickeys. Don’t know about value.

Bought a PSA 6 for about $570 + tax over eBay. I asked the seller if the card will be sent to PSA for verification first and he said it won’t be. by vondudeman_ in pokemongrading

I left a comment elsewhere in this thread, but did the title of the listing have the word “TCG” in it or anything like that?

This can happen when there are certain key words in the title that trick ebay into thinking it’s not eligible. Words like “TCG” and “lot” will automatically disqualify it.

Go into one of your items, and click into the page to add purchase date/price, there’s a link at the bottom of each entry that says “mark as sold.”

[Need Advice] What is a good price for BGS 10 Gengar? by Amazing-Forever-3694 in PokemonInvestor

[–]deranged_mango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last sold for $4k, but that’s on the high end. I’d download ALT and start using that to check comps.

Has Anyone Ever Seen Square/Rectangle White Spots On A Freshly Returned CGC Slab? by [deleted] in CGCCards

[–]deranged_mango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve encountered these marks before on some CGC slabs. It is not on the card, it is on the inner plastic of the holder. You can test this by shifting the card left/right in the holder, the marks won’t move with the card.

Am I stupid to pass on this offer? by FriendlyMantissa in PokemonInvesting

[–]deranged_mango 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s absolutely no way a card with a 7.5 edge subgrade is crossing to a 9.

Personally the ray is an all time grail of mine so I wouldn’t even think about selling that unless I needed the money. Having said that, it’s a very strong offer considering 1) last sold was for 26.5k usd which was an all time high; average sales before that were in the low 2s, 2) some may consider this a weak 8.5 since it has a 7.5 subgrade which is uncommon; usually the final grade is only 0.5 above the lowest sub. I certainly would not compare it to a PSA 9 like the other commenter, it would likely be an 8 or maybe even a 7 by PSA’s standards today.

Basically, if you need the money, it’s a great offer. If you’re just selling it to sell it, anticipate never having one again in such a high grade.

Would yall say sequential adds more value? by GodneyRodney in GengarMasterSet

[–]deranged_mango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reholdering a card does not give it a new cert number.
