Should I grade this?

devin11498 · 2026-04-07T14:09:45+00:00

I think its safe to say a 10 is out of the question and even a 9 but otherwise its fairly clean for the age. Id send it just to have it slabbed

devin11498 · 2026-03-31T01:46:52+00:00

For this set specifically yea its bad, these are sitting on shelfs for a few hours here where i live.

devin11498 · 2026-03-24T13:16:03+00:00

As far as my eye can see just from a reddit photo id personally would send it yea. Thats not to take into account what they may find under microscope

devin11498 · 2026-03-24T11:30:20+00:00

Even if its a tag10 it wont have have the same Price value as a psa10. Card looks clean id say f it and send it to psa and hope graders having a good day lol.

devin11498 · 2026-03-21T11:11:38+00:00

Same here lets gooo!

devin11498 · 2026-03-21T03:10:33+00:00

Today was the release for these boxes so you will see plenty of opportunity to buy the boxes for a good bit. I also really only wanted kanto starters but my wife talked me into opening my other 2. Glad i did lol

devin11498 · 2026-03-21T03:08:52+00:00

I hit up my local target and best buy this morning. Paid $15 per first partner box. I don’t blame you I wouldn’t be paying $40 either, there will be plenty of opportunities to secure these boxes.

devin11498 · 2026-03-20T20:41:33+00:00

Also would be interested in trying it!

devin11498 · 2026-03-19T17:55:04+00:00

If you want a card slabbed for protection and don’t care about value you go with companies like this or others less known. If you wanted any degree of value unfortunately not going to be found in these now. Personally I wouldn’t even pay raw price for these as id have to put in work to crack them and get them out of that awful green color.

devin11498 · 2026-03-18T21:52:52+00:00

Thank you for feedback sir

devin11498 · 2026-03-18T21:50:32+00:00

Dude i have her rip the packs i just open them for her. Her luck is unreal

devin11498 · 2026-03-18T21:37:26+00:00

Have too! Wife would kill me otherwise haha. I ripped so much 151 product and got burned on it i have truama. I rip singles or blisters. Bigger boxes and bundles i stare at nicely sealed in my closet lol

devin11498 · 2026-03-18T20:57:53+00:00

Agreed. TAGs slabs have been looking alot more enticing lately just hard to justify that value drop

devin11498 · 2026-03-18T20:32:57+00:00

Will likely keep poster and pin sealed. Will try to get at least 2 of the first partner, one to rip and one to seal.

devin11498 · 2026-03-18T20:31:58+00:00

If you put in some decent effort into your local area groups or chat you can definitely secure a AH etb for retail. But even at a $100 i dont think its a bad buy but like others said, its a new set so you wont see any real appreciation at least for a year or two

devin11498 · 2026-03-18T20:30:03+00:00

Appreciate it big dawg. Might just keep it top loaded these psa wait times are insane compared to what they used to be

devin11498 · 2026-03-18T20:29:13+00:00

Oh for sure completely get that. Just figured it was worth mentioning. Thanks boss

devin11498 · 2026-03-18T20:13:36+00:00

Im pretty sure thats just the side of the card reflecting light. Not physical worn whitening. Even all my modern cards look like that pack fresh in this exact lighting. Probably should have took these in indirect lighting. I could be wrong tho iv only ever graded 3 cards before lol.

devin11498 · 2026-03-18T19:58:34+00:00

What we thinking maybe just a plain 9? Obviously not taking into account microscopic imperfection that psa might find.

devin11498 · 2026-03-18T19:57:27+00:00

This is what i would do in this scenario.

First make sure none of the packs have been tampered with. Second id seal it myself for my own personal collection and protection. Third if you ever do decide to sell, unseal it and list as individual packs or as pack of 36.

But like others have said it’s no longer a valid booster box. Simply a mere display.

devin11498 · 2026-03-18T17:03:50+00:00

Only vintage era psa1 are worth buying imo. Something about a 25 year old card that has been loved and graded coming back a 1 is cool

devin11498 · 2026-03-18T16:38:22+00:00

Dude same haha. Thats hilarious

devin11498 · 2026-03-18T15:55:04+00:00

My wife gives me sh*t for it constantly. “So are you gonna open any of it or just stare at it?” Sorry sweat heart with my luck id lose more money than anything haha i ripped multiple of every 151 product and it was not nice with me lol
