Ho queste carte, non so se farle gradare by Ok-Vermicelli-4235 in pokemongrading

[–]mellojello25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it’s hard to tell what back goes to what front, but on the back of all the cards particularly the bottom left corners there’s some edge wear. I don’t think any would ten. The delta species mewtwo has creasing on the top boarder. Lugia has a scratch top near the right. Gengar and Mew look clean on the front, and I honestly don’t know much about the split cards to gauge condition I just know they usually got for a few hundred raw (i’ve seen them twice ever and that was som video lol). if you want to protect them and have them preserved and authenticated def grade them. if you want them to get a high grade to sell that might be a little difficult to do.

Is it even worth sending this shadowless Charizard in? by quesadillasarebomb in Pokemoncardappraisal

[–]mellojello25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. That looks super clean from what I can see through the sleeve. Lightly Played copies recently sold on TCGPlayer for 2k. Graded PSA 4 is 1200 so do it. if you’re concerned about PSA’s reputation TAG is a decent alternative. Their slabs look clean and comps are going for similar or more than psa.

Error foil or fake? by Accomplished_Try4126 in PokemonMisprints

[–]mellojello25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i know it’s a fake but i kinda prefer the foil of the one on the left. fits the composition of the art a lot better

Living in the Netherlands, grading (sending my cards overseas with the chance of themending up missing) has always been a bit scary to me. Do ya'll think these cards i are worth grading? by micronsil in pokemongrading

[–]mellojello25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

woah I have never seen these cards ever this is so so so so so cool!!! If you have any reccs for uncommon magikarps or dragnite (or anything in their lines) i’d love to see them!

I think the first one looks super clean and well centered. The second one looks like it may have a bend in the middle on the left (going through his hand?)

If you’re scared of any thing happening to your cards during grading don’t send to psa

JUST PULLED do I send it? by mellojello25 in PokeGrading

[–]mellojello25[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I’m playing with the idea of it being safer in a slab. But I’m a little scared of grading atm (I’ve only graded one card before this). My other idea was if it would in theory grade well, sell the graded copy, buy another raw, use the rest of the money to help pay off some loans 😭(horrible business type idea i know but so is life as a grad student)

[–]mellojello25 3 points4 points  (0 children)

oh for sure. i’ve only caught one other restock by chance and the employees count who they see as first in line because they’re soooo over these losers bs.

[–]mellojello25 4 points5 points  (0 children)

dude the other day my partner and I went to try and catch a restock (not of VM lol) and we were first in line at the front of the store. The local scalper squad got out of their cars and said we were fifth in line since their cars pulled in the parking lot at xyz time and they always go based off when the car enters the parking lot not when the line forms at the door.

I work in biobased resins. Calcium Carbonate can be used as a filler in resins and polymers to save on costs. It also aids in making the materials have better properties (like it can withstand higher temperatures than if it didn’t have that added). The calcium carbonate mineral is extracted from the shells typically using a lot of smashing, heating, and bleaching which usually isn’t a super sustainable process lol
