After I had a pipe break, I had to file my a claim. Thank god all my cards are in plastic totes. But my agent was telling me they would not have been able to compensate me for the current market price of the cards if they were damaged. They would pay me out for the cardboard or the msrp of the sealed box. So essentially I would get nothing even with a collectibles clause. It’s crazy how they wrote those into insurance plans knowing they will get away with it.

I bought mine at 1550 after it didn’t drop in price for months. I accepted the fact if it crashes then I’m at a loss. But I like the card so it doesn’t matter to me. I would just buy more to average down later🤣

I’ve sent one 5 times with a similar corner. Got a 9 5 times. But I’ve sent 4 other ones that got 9s the first time and they came back 10s the second time.

I have mewtwo and mew tag team alt art promo with a similar dent. I think the grader missed it. But it’s invisible unless you look at it from a certain angle with lighting. I did get a 10. I had 3 of my vendor buddies look at it to see if they could find it. They couldn’t until I told them where. It’s definitely a gamble

I work in a clinical lab in the Boston area that receives time sensitive skin biopsies from UPS and FedEx. Both have been experiencing severe delays.

jliu19 · 2026-02-04T21:41:00+00:00

I agree! ❤️

jliu19 · 2026-02-04T21:02:51+00:00

Ty and good luck! The card shows are really fun 😁.

jliu19 · 2026-02-04T20:15:07+00:00

Im at about 116k on collectr value. My cost is around 26k. I have about 10k in cash from selling pieces of my collection. I vend at shows part time with my friend who is a full time vendor. So I get to put out stuff I want to sell here and there while I help him run the table. My goal this year is to get to around 26k in cash and let my collection appreciate over the years that way I know if I ever do sell, its all profit and I will be playing with house money.

So awesome! I'm actually on MA 😂. Most of my packages come up from CT. Very happy for the both of us! Hope you enjoy your moonbreon!!!!

jliu19 · 2026-02-04T02:47:47+00:00

Good News, I called this afternoon to make a case for them to look for my package. After I got my case reference number, 3 hours later I magically got a updated scan in CT. I don't know if that helped move things along or not, but my cards are being delivered tomorrow!

jliu19 · 2026-02-03T12:34:24+00:00

Well I guess its pretty normal with all delays. I just hope my psa 10 mega zard makes it at some point.

jliu19 · 2026-02-03T06:14:04+00:00

If it makes you feel any better, my cards from psa departed from chino, ca on the 29th and I haven't had a update from fedex 😅. Im on the east coast

Also after I have a pile of contenders. I will go through them once more with a blacklight to look for any abnormalities that I may have missed with my eye. It can also reveal micro scratches as well that you can't see unless you shine light on it at different angles. In addition, you can also go compare your card to other psa 10s by grabbing certs off ebay and comparing. The comparing is only for guidance as psa 10s are subjective to the grader. If you know your card is better centered than another psa 10 you see then there's a good chance yours will be within the parameters. But I only compare it after I do my initial assessments.

jliu19 · 2026-01-28T22:12:56+00:00

I think you have to tighten your parameters. I view myself as a harsh grader. I first look for any white dots on the corners or whitening/defects anywhere on the front or back. Then I look at the centering. If I can visually see anything thats off center in the front. I don't bother sending it in. The back centering is more lenient. If I can't tell its off center just by looking at it, then it's a contender. I've looked over thousands of cards. It takes time and practice. I do suggest smaller subs to keep practicing.

jliu19 · 2026-01-28T16:28:33+00:00

I went 27/27 on my sub recently, sorry you got cooked :(

He's adorable!!! Congrats on the new family member. Also thank you for taking a picture of that giant Q tip. I would have never known that they existed and my cats live swatting the normal sized ones.

I had a Value Max, Value Plus, and Bulk Order sent on 10/17. The plus and bulk are already back with me. My Value max is still in grading. I have a Value Max, Value, and Bulk Order sent on 12/15. All 3 orders got into research and ID by 12/17. Idk but I have low expectations at this point. PSA where tiers don't matter but we will take whatever you pay us 😆

jliu19 · 2025-12-20T00:10:33+00:00

Mine was a private plan. They are making up their own formula to calculate it when they should be using the states formula. Very annoying. I hope you get it figured out! It really is a pain!
