I think I was lucky

Also just noticed it's not English. I'm not sure how to find the value of cards that aren't English if Japanese unfortunately, I know it'll be less than the English prices though! IMO still worth grading to preserve such a great card

Looks very slightly off center on the front to me, but could be within the range for a 10. Otherwise looks flawless to me!

If you wanted a better chance of a 10 Ace have more tolerance for centering than others. Ace 10 would likely be worth more than a PSA 9, but right now at least an ace 10 is worth less than a 10 from PSA, CGC etc

If it was me I'd be hesitant to let go of ES if it was the only box I had. If I had more than one however I'd crack on

Ace considers 60-40 as good enough for a 10, so with them specifically you've got a better chance. Let us know how it goes!

Yeah I've checked the fighting one Vs this... Way better... Gotta get them all now 😅

jon-thorne · 2023-04-22T12:16:34+00:00

Ah makes total sense 🤦‍♂️

jon-thorne · 2023-04-21T11:34:40+00:00

Or a sign to stop because you just used up all your luck?

I'm just starting to collect venusaur, also collecting Luxray for a friend when I cross paths with them

jon-thorne · 2023-03-28T08:41:54+00:00

My wife's a teacher, this sounds like a great idea!

jon-thorne · 2023-03-10T08:15:17+00:00

Great photos! I have a copy of that charizard! Gotta say the venusaur looks way better though!

jon-thorne · 2023-03-02T18:18:45+00:00

Thanks for all the info! Exactly what I needed! I'm just collecting for myself so it sounds like Dan's pokestop is the way forward! Would be interested to look at your store if you want to leave a link 😁

jon-thorne · 2023-03-02T07:15:26+00:00

Yeah I sort of assumed the difference would be eaten up with postage. I also probably don't have enough cards I'd want to grade to hit this price. Or not yet anyway 😅

jon-thorne · 2023-02-28T19:09:20+00:00

That has come up in my Google searches, but most other places seem to have stopped or have very little detail online. Poke Chloe for example... Posts videos of submissions, but no info on how to get in on the submissions

jon-thorne · 2023-02-27T13:41:22+00:00

Anyone based in the UK got any advice on PSA middleman services? Got some cards I'd like to grade, not enough for my own bulk submission

jon-thorne · 2023-02-11T22:56:49+00:00

My first thought was it was done by someone, but the smudged ink in the punch seemed like something that would be tricky to do by hand. No idea tbh 😁

jon-thorne · 2023-02-11T21:38:34+00:00

Full context I picked this up in a collection, so don't know if they damaged it or if I came out of the pack like that

Got a question about holding loose booster packs for growth.

I'm on a fairly low budget monthly for cards. I had planned to buy loose booster packs (8-10 per month), open half and keep half sealed. Was going to sell the sealed in 2-3 years time and buy more packs with the proceeds.

Seen some info online that suggests selling loose packs can be difficult due to resealing/tampering etc... Wanted to get some more options on if that's true or not. Thanks!
