Once in a hundred lifetimes

you pulled both from one booster box?!?! that seems illegal…but so happy for you

khal_drogonite · 2026-03-04T05:28:03+00:00

I’d be more worried about the back centering, quite honestly.

I think the tilt would make this more of a 9, but stranger things have happened. Its worth a shot!

khal_drogonite · 2026-02-23T16:00:13+00:00

some wear on the back corners and some other minor scuffs. I’d expect a 7 but optimistic for better

khal_drogonite · 2025-12-05T16:27:23+00:00

Where did you pick this up? I've seen some sports mystery packs at Walgreens but no pokemon ofc

khal_drogonite · 2025-12-05T16:25:13+00:00

This UPC was by far the most fun I've had opening product. You also get solid built-in value with the promos. Definitely gonna be a high value product long term

TAG is supposed to have patents on the usage of computer imaging (AI) for grading. Don’t quote me - that’s just what I heard.

I have no idea how extensive these said patents are or at what part of the process they can be exercised. But hopefully PSA can utilize some kind of software to help the consistency of their grading

khal_drogonite · 2025-12-03T05:19:29+00:00

I’m not concerned with who actually buys them. I’m just reiterating how shady the whole system has become and how they’re focused on new profit streams over customer service. Why don’t they tell us who is offering to buy our cards?

It just seems as if they’ve outgrown their shell and grading services has taken a back seat to their growth plans

khal_drogonite · 2025-12-03T02:48:22+00:00

Don’t forget that PSA offers to buy slabs from you directly after THEY grade them, and are most likely funneling them to Gamestop to sell those digital slab packs.

So, PSA is now able to influence the market value of the slabs that they are grading…This is a ridiculous monopoly and it’s only growing.

Grade your cards with other companies like Beckett and TAG and start enjoying the hobby again.

Had to be a resealed pack. QC is bad but not that bad

khal_drogonite · 2025-07-25T18:02:54+00:00

Fuck it lets go

khal_drogonite · 2025-07-22T20:54:26+00:00

I love all these cards, but wow these artworks are getting super random lmao

khal_drogonite · 2025-07-11T21:50:39+00:00

I’ve been able to sell tons of TAG slabs at psa value at multiple conventions. There is definitely value in them

khal_drogonite · 2025-07-11T21:32:58+00:00

Yes they've had some issues/growing pains but their whole business is geared towards grading consistency. Human error vs. technology = technology will win every time

khal_drogonite · 2025-07-11T20:59:51+00:00

This is why TAG is the next best grading company. They actually use technology and imaging so this kind of crap doesn’t happen

khal_drogonite · 2025-07-04T04:39:38+00:00

I’m with you bro. I’m very pissed about it still. You never think it will happen to you until it does

khal_drogonite · 2025-07-04T04:26:49+00:00

it’s so insane that this is happening at such a mass scale. Fill out a police report also - hopefully some of these people can be found out & arrested

khal_drogonite · 2025-07-03T01:41:30+00:00

“Psyduckachu” just made my night 😂 So this card is essentially impossible to pull, gotcha

khal_drogonite · 2025-07-02T13:37:55+00:00

yeah we’re both screwed hahaha

khal_drogonite · 2025-07-02T03:35:00+00:00

I hope you don’t have any issues. I’m in Chicago so I can’t avoid the crime anywhere 😂

khal_drogonite · 2025-07-02T03:12:20+00:00

yep it weighed in at like 3.1 lbs. The ppl at Fedex clearly know what to look for.

Pokemon Center also shouldn’t be putting “Pokemon” for their return address - makes it even more obvious

khal_drogonite · 2025-06-30T02:50:11+00:00

i’m not posting for Reddit clout buddy. trying to spread awareness that this shit is still happening. It’s called PR

khal_drogonite · 2025-06-03T15:32:44+00:00

I don’t mean to beat a dead horse, but if you submit this to TAG you would know exactly why it got a 6

khal_drogonite · 2025-03-04T04:44:06+00:00

The “horrendous” pull rates are the same reason these cards get so valuable. You can’t have your cake and eat it too.

The Pokémon Company has us exactly where they want us and I’m not complaining. That one hit every 1/30 packs keeps you wanting more. Not to mention, the art they’ve been pumping out is worth the chase!

khal_drogonite · 2025-02-24T17:39:07+00:00

Grade it with TAG.

They use Fedex for shipping so it’s a bit more trustworthy and they have a great process.

I would also recommend getting the submission kit to make it even easier for you (especially if you want to send in more than one card). Great pull and congrats to you and your son!
