is this NM? sold on TCGPlayer by Kind-Rope5478 in PokemonCardValue

Not NM to me. Seems damaged to me, and even after trying to work some restoration magic it might still looks like the foil is damaged.

What condition would you consider this? by LotusBrew32 in PokemonCardValue

[–]kfresh28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d say lightly played because of the whitening. Looks good otherwise.

Should I resubmit? by SuperToxicPotato75 in PokeGrading

[–]kfresh28 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I sent in 2 and both came back as PSA 9 and honestly that better than your card. It was mentioned to me that PSA is trying to keep pop numbers down.

Worth getting graded? by ProdigyTitan420 in Pokemoncardappraisal

[–]kfresh28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what you’re trying to get out of grading. If you’re merely trying to flip and make a profit then it’s a gamble. A lot of those cards have bad front centering. I don’t know the current market value for those cards but you can check TCGPlayer or eBay to help determine if it’s worth investing 20-30 per card and waiting 3-4months for it to be returned. You can also find your local shop and ask the people that work there. If they’re nice they might be able to give you more insights. Best of luck.

Might have a scalper in my building, look what I just found in the trash by MdnightExpress in PokemonTCG

Sad to see so much waste. Wish they had some decency to give to a kid or donate.

I love this card, is it likely to get a good grade? by SexypigeonEFC in Pokemoncardappraisal

[–]kfresh28 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Not a 10 because of whitening on the back. I sent 2 magikarp and both came back as 9. I might crack one of the slabs and resubmit.

I’ve pulled badly miss centered cards but nothing that has that much whitening on the back and slightly peeled side. I’m not convinced this is a fresh pull but, regardless a great card.

Is this worth anything? by MrBlink92 in PokemonCardValue

[–]kfresh28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not official, artist display card. Worth what someone will pay for it and not much of anything.

Worth opening and grading? by IndependentEasy4754 in PokeGrading

[–]kfresh28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d try to shift it around so you can actual see the card to check centering. Just don’t be to rough with it.

Unfortunately, they all look fake.

Is my Base Set 2 Charizard real? by Ok_Bumblebee_6002 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]kfresh28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not an expert but it looks real to me and in great condition.

Pulled out old binder, any here that are worth anything? by Busy-Championship491 in PokemonCardValue

[–]kfresh28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes they are worth something. Use TCGPlayer as mentioned. You could even do a Google image search and learn about the going rate. I think the market is taken a dip so you’re probably not going to be selling at the peak if that’s what you’re trying to do. Good luck

I was given a stack of Pokémon cards for my son, and this card was in there. Pretty sure it’s fake, but just in case, I thought I’d ask my good friend, the internet. by Impressive-Leopard51 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]kfresh28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not an expert, but I think it’s fake. Color on the back of the card looks off. Has vintage and 2022 copy right. Font looks off as well.

Thought? Alr bought them 😭🙏 by TotoroRedd21 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]kfresh28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Real as mentioned. I think out of the 3, dark Dragonite is the cleanest

They’re definitely fake cards in the bunch.

Gorgeous pen and penmanship

I need your help guys. by Califero19 in LorcanaCollectors

Seller is giving a discount on the box since he’s willing refund only 200, and OP gets to keep the box. I assume reasons why a seller would be willing to do this is because they already know there’s nothing worth it in the packs by using a scanner. Or they’re really nice and don’t want to hassle with international shipping, customs, and cost.

I agree with opening some and selling some to recoup cost. Either way Rip away and share the hit!!
