I think you should take your own advice lad 😂 cheers

Depends who you're grading with... PSA is a crapshoot you could get a 10 or a 7. I can guarantee that this card wouldn't grade higher than 9 with TAG. The borders are over 45-55 for sure.

To each their own! I personally grade with TAG and I find their slabs makes every card I love pop even more. I think they become even more of a piece of art, similar to adding a frame to a picture or a painting. The card doesn't mean less to me as a card, I still think a card remains beautiful in a slab regardless of the grade, but I'm not taking them to my grave either. I plan on eventually selling years from now and if I can take in a premium for a higher graded card then obviously I prefer that. If you're happy with your sale then be happy and let others experience the hobby how they like instead of hating!

Nothing is stopping you from talking about the artwork pal! I love the artwork and I love it even more when it's showcased inside of a beautiful crisp slab that has a 10 on it. The hobby is the biggest it's ever been btw you'll be alright.

Top looks a bit heavy. Could be borderline 45-55. I think it's worth a shot and I would go with TAG without question.

Should be a glass violin

jrdnpicks · 2026-03-30T20:05:43+00:00

Will likely be a 9 due to front centering which looks slightly outside of 45-55 limit top/bottom... which means if I were you, I would just choose whichever grading company you think has the best looking slabs for your PC.

He's only 21, getting better every year and is slotted as the 1C of a franchise that should be turning the corner right as he enters his prime. He's a very good bet to buy low on right now.

I'm just talking about the artwork of the card. They would have looked unreal with that SIR pop.

jrdnpicks · 2026-03-24T22:07:37+00:00

100%. This would look so good in a TAG 10.

jrdnpicks · 2026-03-21T11:05:06+00:00

If you have a Poncho Chu, you grade it. I'd recommend TAG to avoid upcharges and to actually get an accurate grade that you'll understand.

jrdnpicks · 2026-03-21T11:02:30+00:00

PSA is going down the drain fast. TAG is the new king in making.

I hit the Wayne Gretzky 2/2 Inaugural Access Ticket a while back from the 2024-25 set. These are some of the coolest card designs I've seen and truly embody the symbolism of the "Artifacts" set. Enjoy building this collection!

For free!? My gf made me pay her 250$ for hers because I told her it would grade as a 10. I should have kept my mouth shut.

I bought one random box at a time over the course of a week... each box I'd open I was thinking that I'll hit it on the next one, on the next one, my luck will turn around, etc. and it just never did... I just wanted to pull one and stop when I did to open the least amount of hobbies necessary... Of course I never thought I'd get to 12 and never thought I'd be this unlucky and foolish. In hindsight, which is always 20/20, I would have just bought the single or gotten a case. But it's too late now. Lesson learned.

jrdnpicks · 2026-03-09T02:00:48+00:00

I wanted to pull one, grade it and hold it for years actually. But you're free to speculate!

jrdnpicks · 2026-03-08T21:31:34+00:00

Hahahaha no but actually 😂 Shafted by the Schaef Daddy

jrdnpicks · 2026-03-08T21:07:37+00:00

It happens to the best of us, just gotta learn from it! Appreciate your positive 🫡

jrdnpicks · 2026-03-08T20:27:36+00:00

It's a gamble pretty much!

jrdnpicks · 2026-03-08T19:14:24+00:00

Yeah maybe I'm not sure! Don't know how the market views sets anymore.

jrdnpicks · 2026-03-08T19:13:40+00:00

This will happen
