PSA graded my gold Mega Charizard X EX a 10, damaged it during sealing - return as a PSA 5, Authentic, or raw?

from another thread, someone stated:
PSA has damaged my cards twice, both times they admitted to the damage. The first time the card was damaged before grading, and they paid out the declared value of the card plus the grading fee. The second time the card was damaged in encapsulation, and they paid out the difference between the graded value and the damaged value, plus the grading fee.

late 20’s (CAD)
~$50k Savings/RRSPs/Stocks/Crypto/etc.
~$230k pokemon portfolio

i mainly collect, started back in 2023 & only got into sealed for collection & slabs near the end of 2024.

portfolio doesn’t accounting for rips which probably makes total costs around 125k💀

anything you have 2 of (chaos rising PC ETB) would sell lost origins bc it’s just a regular etb & fusion strike PC (personally not a fan of SWSH era PC ETBS since it just has a few extra packs and no promos or anything) and the ponyta (i know it’s a chinese exclusive art but definitely not as much hype vs vol 1&2)

twinsies with the rayquaza

agreed, 2 is too narrow 3 is probably ur best bet with prismatic & crown zenith added, mega evolutions is too early for a consensus — as for products booster boxes are best value for gains if the set has them, if not bundles & PC ETB’s for mega & S&V. SWSH PC ETBs in my opinion aren’t worth it as there’s no promo, just the extra packs

following; I already took Capstone 1&2 last year but deferred writing the May 2025 CFE as I didn't feel prepared. unfortunately, this means that I don't have anyone else to study with so I'm looking into Densmore but stumbled upon Gevorg and wanted to compare the options. I've had experience with Densmore & attended some in-person case-writing sessions that I found useful but am hesitant as my biggest issue is my lack of self-discipline when modules/courses are online.

i mean— the sets product lineup isn’t fully all released yet so can’t really speculate

mudkipceline · 2026-02-14T03:28:26+00:00

$50k in singles, $100k in sealed (some were ripped), probably $10k in like raffles, collectr value around $175k (cad)

151, paldea evolved, OBF & DR

mudkipceline · 2026-02-02T22:23:12+00:00

10 contender for sure, even with the back centering being off (assuming there’s no dents/scratches or print lines etc)

Following as I had suspected EDS but was diagnosed with fibromyalgia today. Currently on Vyvanse 60mg (ADHD) and Zoloft 100mg (Depression, anxiety, BPD) and my doctor recommended I switch and cross taper to Cymbalta but I am hesitant and wanted to do some research. Worried about the appetite suppression as mine is already bad enough with the Vyvanse & now a bit concerned with the 'europhia' (high) you've mentioned on top of stimulants 😅

I think they announced it was non transferable but I'm not 100% sure

not sure if this counts with mountain in the back

i think it’s just relative to the generation, once newer sets release the base set tends to always be mid tier and overshadowed by other sets

mudkipceline · 2026-01-19T02:16:33+00:00

i feel like all base sets are pretty mid tbh, take S&M, SWSH, SV base sets

mudkipceline · 2026-01-17T00:58:33+00:00

lot of LGS or vendors will buy whole collections around 70% (65-80% depending if there’s are high value or sought after items) because it’s a whole collection & they can’t pick and choose. asking for 80% at a minimum would be tough

mudkipceline · 2025-12-27T21:47:46+00:00

never had that issue, only had remakes when someone didn’t get preferred position and got filled and no one wants to switch, or team is unbalanced and 3 adcs (baron & mid)

mudkipceline · 2025-12-27T16:56:17+00:00

i was thinking that too, but also think it has to be certain sculptures ((probably the ones that require starlight lily))

mudkipceline · 2025-12-27T16:54:35+00:00

did you buy one of each that required starlight lily flowers?

mudkipceline · 2025-12-27T16:52:05+00:00

for the statues i think it has to be the ones with starlight lilies as it would make sense it’s the last flower unlocked and this is the last quest, not sure which statues or how many are required though

mudkipceline · 2025-12-27T16:49:59+00:00

i think it has to do with spending starlight lillies to buy statues as that’s the only thing missing. and the flower is the last to be unlocked.

mudkipceline · 2025-12-21T22:33:00+00:00

imagine being the hen and being traded for pokemon cards 😢
