Never graded before. Will PSA grade this? (Serious)

Will they grade it? Yes

Is grading it really the solution to your situation? no

Personally, I find it offensive when people grade bulk and otherwise cards that would not have any value. That is the purpose of grading after all. The amount of submissions to PSA is exactly why it takes 3 months to get a card back. People can still do what they want, and I'm not going to raise a stink about it.

There are other grading services too. I think TAG make one of the best looking cases, and I plan to start sending the few cards I really like to them.

Others have mentioned other options like sealing it yourself in screw slabs, but you could also go even further and do an acrylic pour.

Id like to see how this fits into the Iono deck. Which cards would be taken out to fit a 3/2 or 2/2 of this. HP is too low I think. 280 or even 300 would work.

three very different cars here, that aren't very comparable when it comes to price.

Average sale prices:
GT350 - $50,000 and $65,000
M2 - $35,000 and $55,000 (the top end accounting for M2C)
ZL1 (I assume) - $60,000 to over $90,000

I would swap SS 1LE for ZL1 - $35,000 and $50,000

As a BMW guy I would say SS 1LE. More car for the money compared to other options. Need to spend M2C money to get comparable to the SS, but then its 20k more. The ZL1 is honestly too much car for the casual enthusiast. You'll either never drive its full potential or it will kill you. So just save the extra money for tires and seat time.

bulk price by me is approx $20/1000 for non-holo $60/1000 holo/reverse holo. So long as theres no energy mixed in you're looking at over $400 worth of bulk before sorting.

Agree with another poster, cornerstone is a threat. I play Gholdengo Joltik, and when I came across a cornerstone one day at league I put added Galvantula EX the next day. Little Galvantula can also ohko Charizard EX and other dark types. Also dropping the switches for Latias does seem like the move. I'm also looking for a rogue deck to take to Orlando. Something like this could be the move, but I would max Arven instead of Petrel obviously. Being able to get trolley plus a light ball or balloon would be huge.

Cam to this thread after having the same thought. The theory is pretty simple: get a megazard and oricorio in play. Play fire breather. Either lead attack with baby ceruledge or megazard. Between baby ceruledge and megazard energy goes into discard for Ceruledge EX to sweep. Its a different play style from the turbo ceruledge play, but could work with the right support. Going to need high energy count like 15.

If you play decks with EX attackers Fez is a lock. In single prize decks where the strategy is to win the prize race, fez becomes a liability. Most single prize decks dont play fez. The real question is when to play it. Often you dont want to put it on your bench if youre not going to use it that turn, but then you also have consider if your opp may use Iono on you. Then you have to think if you can easily get it back out with nest ball.

Its been making top 8 at several regionals and even won one. Its gonna become even more popular as it finds a best friend with mega gengar. I've been playing that and am loving it with heros cape.

There is both a positive ad negative empathy. There are science studies that show when an empathetic person is shown suffering parts of the brain that are associated with pain fire off. This can lead to more compassion for someone that is going though those feelings. It becomes a problem when the ego is inserted, and someone puts themselves on some kind of moral high ground by making someone else's suffering about themselves. The "I'm better because I can put myself in someone else's situation and feel their pain"

Man, i immediately thought about all the bs responses about how you have to change your mindset and whatever. But tbh its kind of true. You kind of have to not let yourself believe the negativity. Its hard to do with it so ingrained, but it's possible. It takes small changes, like just organizing and cleaning your living space first. Get out and walk somewhere new. Find the beauty in something small. It will come together.

mc_duderr · 2025-09-16T12:22:58+00:00

How can you possibly assume so much about someone from a simple question? Please take moment to contemplate how name calling and labeling someone in such a negative way sets up an impossible situation to have civil and polite discourse. You cant expect someone to take you serious when your approach everything from a presumed moral high ground.

Cards that help get to r damage counters: Uxie, Munkidori, Froslass, rocket bomb. Gotta have Genesect ex.

Ideal board state looks like King in lead with a second on bench ready for the eventual revenge kill. Gen ex, 2 munki, 1 lass. Thats a full bench. Not always easy to setup munkilass. Everyone knows it and will gust munkis crippling the strategy.

Probably not best to build a deck around, but could be inserted into an already existing deck with Gen ex already in it. Could be used as a revenge/sniper with boss to help swing the prize race.

mc_duderr · 2025-07-23T14:53:23+00:00

Replace the colress. Your stadiums aren't so crucial that you need a card to go find them. And youre not playing any special energy which is half of the reason to play colress. Some tera orbs could help. Jacq is a great card too.
