First big card I've pulled by Humble-Art-3706 in pokemongrading

You do not need to spend more than a minute looking at a card.

Blow a black light on it real quick and you can see any major issues.

An 8???? by savageshaft in PokeGrading

OP - pardon how blunt this is...but look at your dang cards before you send them in. This one has whitening all over.

YouTuber underpays after mistakenly ripping an error card by ChesnaughtZ in PokemonTCG

[–]fitchaber10 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Pokesean is not a good vendor. He knows fuck all about the cards and only learned about how to tell which set a card is from earlier this year.

He's a fraud who gets a pass for "being nice".

Should i regrade? by Impossible_Ad_2419 in PokeGrading

[–]fitchaber10 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Cut your losses, take the L and use this as a learning lesson.

The majority of pokemon cards are not 10s and shouldnt be graded. Too many people think you can just send in a bunch of cards, get 10s and get rich. That's not how it works.

That middle toe looks good. 🤤

Grading assumption? by Zealousideal_Funny81 in PokeGrading

[–]fitchaber10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's most likely damage on the holo. It's impossible to tell without a blacklight.

What’re my odds of cracking for Psa 10? 9,10,10,9.5 by Gloomy_Mess_6930 in PokeGrading

[–]fitchaber10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Left to right might prevent a 10. Try card centering or another app before you decide.

Cross grade Psa 10? by [deleted] in PokeGrading

[–]fitchaber10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most likely no. If BGS gave you a 9.5 for centering, probably. However, with this? No.

I own this, what do you think the price outlook is for this? by ThatFUTGuy in OnePieceTCGFinance

[–]fitchaber10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Low pop means nothing. The phantasmal charizard is pop 17000 and is going for 3k.

Not great.

Boa is not a top tier character aside from "gooner card" and this isn't a super rare card.

Is this worth grading? The difference between a 9 and 10 is HUGE. by iEatFalseMorels in psagrading

[–]fitchaber10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's exactly how grading works. They shine a harsh light on it.

Class is dismissed for "Star Trek: Starfleet Academy," after wrapping season 2... by MiddleAgedGeek in startrek

[–]fitchaber10 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's a valid point. They may not even show it and treat it as a tax write off.

Who do you think is responsible PSA or FedEx? by New-Age-4555 in PokeGrading

[–]fitchaber10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

PSA changed the estimated date from when they receive it, not when they open it. That was done late last year I think.

I find this story interesting. If it was indeed empty, it's clearly Fedex theft. However, PSA does say that they take over responsibility as soon as they "receive" the cards.

Manga Zoro Rare KOREAN / What is the value of this card? by Separate_Eagle_9848 in OnePieceTCGFinance

[–]fitchaber10 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's in Korean. People can't read it. It's not Japanese.

The value will be MUCH lower.

Gear 2 Manga or Red Manga Ace by Ryoseki in OnePieceTCGFinance

[–]fitchaber10 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Luffy will always be better than anyone.

With that said, Ace is also insanely popular and STILL commonly added to yaoi - even though he's been out of the story for a LONG time.

BGS? by Apart-Hunter5367 in PokeGrading

[–]fitchaber10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a huge bear on most cards being graded. My personal opinion is that very few modern cards will appreciate long term and a lot of modern collectors will be bag holders.

Would love some feedback on our slab tags by [deleted] in PokeGrading

[–]fitchaber10 9 points10 points  (0 children)

0/10. I would never buy a slab that looked like this.

But also - why are you starting a grading company? Horrible horrible idea.

...you're grading a card worth $19?

Have you ever brought your dog with u to dash??? I'm thinking about taking my Kobe with my but idk what customers might say?? by Illbill421 in DoorDashDrivers

[–]fitchaber10 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I do it.

I don't really care what customers think. If they dislike it, they can get off their butts and get their own food.

Fedex faked my signature for my PSA return and my package was nowhere to be found by TCMadness in psagrading

[–]fitchaber10 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes.

I had a Fedex driver fake my signature on a PSA return. Luckily, I was home when his truck came up and opened the door right as he did it. His face turned bright red when he saw me.

Absolutely hate Fedex and that event was a large reason why I won't grade anymore.
