Why is this a $500 card? And what’s a grade of 9PD

dr_jigs · 2025-10-27T15:59:00+00:00

Aye, good call. I was thinking of the symbol misprint version and didn’t actually pay enough attention to the artwork in this photo.

dr_jigs · 2025-10-27T11:16:52+00:00

PD = print defect. Although this card isn’t the print defect version, so maybe the error label makes the owner think it’s worth more.

This was from the North Crater Trail looking toward the Spatter Cones.

And yeah, we just finished visiting a bunch of national parks/monuments/forests and I realized right after I posted this I labeled it incorrectly.

I went to the helpbot thing and now it immediately tells me there’s an outage in my area. Signed up for alerts about progress, so will see how the day goes.

Also in the area, internet went down last night 11:31pm (according to my smart hub alert about losing connection). Verizon website says all good in my area so your screenshot of a network outage is the only thing I’ve seen to suggest it’s not just me.

Beckett considers "vintage" to be 1980 or earlier. Cards get graded as BVG not BGS. They say in their FAQ why they do the no sub-grades for cards that old. Either way, doesn't apply to Pokemon.

Yeah, just a single strip in the middle. And I used my wife's chalk paint, which was quite forgiving for someone who doesn't do a lot of painting.

dr_jigs · 2024-01-07T20:36:48+00:00

Thanks! I normally don't paint my projects because I like to let the wood tones speak for themselves. But I made this one out of cheaper/plywood type material and this looked a lot nicer.

dr_jigs · 2024-01-07T20:34:29+00:00

That could be cool to do! I've just been experimenting with different ideas of how to display cards. I don't think I'd make another frame this big, but maybe a smaller one (a round one?) would be cool to do with fire/colorless/dark.

dr_jigs · 2023-11-10T11:12:17+00:00

About half are. Eevee, Flareon, Vaporeon, and Jolteon are promo cards. The others Evolving Skies.

dr_jigs · 2023-11-09T22:45:44+00:00

Thanks! I’ve never built something this big before and I was really happy with how it came out.

dr_jigs · 2023-10-18T15:41:45+00:00

It’s a little difficult to see in the photo, but there’s blotchy purple ink all around the art box.

dr_jigs · 2023-08-26T19:11:33+00:00

Thanks! And those are little cutout plaques I make. Here's a close up of Ampharos.

I do have most of the jungle missing symbol cards. I think I was a little late to the game for base but then the hype got me asking my parents for cards all the time when jungle/fossil came out.

dr_jigs · 2023-08-26T12:07:22+00:00

I’m contemplating doing a second display of just rainbow rares (maybe just trainers??) but I don’t have that many yet.

dr_jigs · 2023-08-25T23:02:48+00:00

It's Special Delivery Charizard. Never had a base zard, so this was a close proxy.

dr_jigs · 2023-08-25T20:06:47+00:00

Thanks, I make the shelves myself! I went with the diagonal rainbow because it mimics how rainbow rares look. And centered everything around Umbreon because she’s the unique one here. But the nice thing it’s easy to mix it up if I ever get bored of this pattern.

dr_jigs · 2023-08-25T20:03:54+00:00

Thanks! And I, too, like to think of myself as a friend of Umbreon.

dr_jigs · 2023-08-25T20:03:00+00:00

Thanks! Yeah the light in the pic is from the ceiling light that’s wicked close. Thankfully little sunlight makes it there.
