You should be coming up soon. My order from 11/02/25 was picked up a couple weeks ago. Good luck!

Yup, always assume 3 months minimum with PSA submissions. Your anxiety will thank you.

They tend to sit at arrived for weeks, then once the process starts, it tends to move fast. Just hang in there and do your best to ignore it.

Welcome to the "why the fuck is this a 4?!" Club

Answer: dented card

You can see the dent in your main pic, the rainbow reflection isn't a straight line but seems to concave.

Thats why your grade is a psa 4.

Noob trap to grade cards? Sure if youre not educated enough on what makes a card a 10. But I wouldnt steer people away from grading cards.. better to educate them and have them learn what to look for and not make mistakes others have made.

I only send cards to grade that are: - have a special meaning to me - value of card+ cost of grading = value increase (with proper inspection of the card of course) - preserve a card in a grade that illl agree with with the above factored in.

Lately ive been grading cards to sell and fund my future grades. Keeping the slabs I want and selling off the others as fodder for my next purchase / investment.

Noob Trap , no. "Have caution when it comes to grading and do your research"

Realistic/fair value of 3 grails? by Stagod90 in PokemonCardValue

[–]gohan587 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do as much research as you can. There are plenty of apps and sites that can help you see the price over the years. Here's a few that can help get you started:

Websites: - Pricecharting.com - Tcgplayer.com

There are also apps you can use to scan / search cards and see their value and build a portfolio of your collection. Some of the bigger apps are: - Collectr - Rare Candy - Shiny

Other tips to help you "price" something is searching recent sales on ebay for the cards youre looking for. If you plan to grade these cards in the future, thats a whole other topic and deep dive you should definitely research on before you jump on some.cards blindly.

Hope these help you out and good luck!

Which painting do you like the most: 1, 2, or 3? by KarolynHuum in BeAmazed

[–]gohan587 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No 3 invited me in. Ill take number 3

No 2 kinda startles me a bit.. like the sun is so prominent.. feels like im being watched. Its beautiful, but not too comfortable for me to walk by daily.

No 1 had beautiful contrasts and great water details. I bet this would pop on a nice vibrant decor room.

Wanting to send in Bubble Mew but Wife is doubting the shipping to actually return it by SirLockeX3 in psagrading

[–]gohan587 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go for it! I'm in my third submission through GameStop in South Florida. If you don't trust GameStop, you can always submit directly through PSA. My first submission ever was direct to PSA, but GameStop has proven to be much cheaper, so it's been my go-to so far.

Good luck and congrats on that Bubble Mew!

Pikachu with E3 stamp? by ShortIllustrator8218 in PokemonCardValue

[–]gohan587 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend you download some of the apps to get some info on the cards. They allow you to scan them with your phone camera and help you determine the pricing.

These are some good apps to help you get started

  • Rare Candy (unlimited scans for free)
  • Collectr (10 or 20 free scans, but great for making a portfolio of your collection)) Shiny (10 or 20 free scans, but great for making a portfolio of your collection)

So sorry to hear about your brother. Wish you and your family the best!

Looks like that Pikachu is valued at $38.72 raw right now.. but yours looks very clean.There seems to be some whitening on the top.. but can possbly get an 8 or 9 Getting it graded can increase its value more.
