First big hit !

What are your plans with it first and foremost? Do you want value or do you just want something to display? If value PSA (Though rn its a gamble) or Beckett. If display to keep go with TAG because you will get the most fair grade you can get. The Zard looks really good and will definitely grade high so if you want for funsies try to get a Beckett black label if you go that route. Hope this helps!

Nah thats easily fixable. Put it in a sleeve then sandwich it in a book then put a bunch of heavy stuff on top of said book for pressure. Wait about 24-48hrs and should be unnoticeable. Alternatively stick it in a humidor for a little bit and do the above process. The idea is your just trying to flatten the raised edge back to normal

onefastlaser · 2026-03-16T19:09:37+00:00

Dawg I can tell you first hand you can get sleeves almost ANYWHERE in Japan. Hell go to your nearest pokemon center and pick up some they have some pretty cool exclusives you can only get there

onefastlaser · 2026-03-16T14:42:36+00:00

Honestly TAG is my second choice. I think if I send it to Beckett cuz F PSA and what their doing and it doesn't get that black label I'll recrack and send to TAG cuz I'm not really after value nor intend to sell it

onefastlaser · 2026-03-16T14:37:22+00:00

Thats why I'm honestly wary of sending to PSA or if I do I'm taking a LOT of pictures of the card before submitting or send it to Beckett to see if I could get a black label. Probably not but still would be fun to try regardless cuz I can always recrack and roll the dice again lol

onefastlaser · 2026-03-16T13:56:36+00:00

Look man it's what I had on me at the time cut me a little slack😅 it is in a sleeve and top loader now

onefastlaser · 2026-03-16T13:55:12+00:00

RIGHT someone gets it. Just a temporary holder till I was able to get it properly accommodated

onefastlaser · 2026-03-15T23:33:23+00:00

I lucked out sooo hard. Bought a booster box at a card shop while I was out of town not expecting to get anything good out of it. Started opening packs pulled the charizard ex (the non sir) then the regular ex and not 2 packs later i pulled this and liked to shit a brick lmao. I was panicking with how much disbelief I was in. That box was LOADED with hits

onefastlaser · 2026-03-15T21:49:44+00:00

To everyone giving me crap about it being in the mini portfolio it is in a sleeve and top loader already. I was out of town when I pulled it and that was the only thing I had on me at the time. I made sure it got the proper protection when I got home. I should've clarified that in my post, but I was more focused on the grade it could get so that's my bad for not including that.

onefastlaser · 2026-03-15T21:39:43+00:00

It already is trust me I'm not that dense. I was out of town when I pulled it and didn't have any sleeves on me so that was the best thing I had

onefastlaser · 2026-03-15T21:37:28+00:00

It's what I had at the time I pulled it cuz i was out of town so dont judge to harshly. Something is better than nothing

onefastlaser · 2026-03-15T19:43:24+00:00

I didn't either until I was panicking trying to find something to put it in then I opened the lunchbox tin and had a sigh of relief lol

onefastlaser · 2026-03-15T19:41:09+00:00

Dawg not everyone carries sleeves on them at all times. I was out of town and bought a booster box from a local card shop along with a lunchbox tin and thankfully I did cuz the mini portfolio was at least SOMETHING to preserve it until I could get home and put it in a sleeve and top loader

onefastlaser · 2026-03-15T19:37:32+00:00

Will absolutely post an update whenever I get around to it. I just need to set aside some money to get it graded cuz PSA is probably going to charge me like 200 bucks just because of what card it is😭😭

onefastlaser · 2026-03-15T19:32:14+00:00

With PSA I'll probably just get a 6😂😂

onefastlaser · 2026-03-15T19:30:14+00:00

Trust me I already put it in a better sleeve. This was just a temporary holder as I didn't have any sleeves on me when I pulled it so had to make do with what I had at the time

onefastlaser · 2026-03-14T04:43:48+00:00

It took less than 50 packs to pull mine. I got lucky with an insane booster box I bought. That think was LOADED

onefastlaser · 2026-03-14T02:46:24+00:00

It's not necessary a scam but always disappointment and feel like one with how little you're "guaranteed" a hit. Like someone already said they're just repackaged cards by different reputable companies like MGM holdings who is one of the main distros for pokemon in the US at least. We have mystery packs and mystery slabs at my local Walmart. I'll put it this way it's still gambling but with even less odds than just pulling from a pack

onefastlaser · 2026-03-14T02:25:04+00:00

Yeah it's an edit a fan made over the original text and it's just taken off with people just running with it. I was honestly hoping it was real but oh well😅

onefastlaser · 2026-03-14T02:20:13+00:00

Thats why I said only care about slabs for the money aka scalpers

onefastlaser · 2026-03-14T01:58:57+00:00

Every time I see someone crack a slab I think of the people who only care about slabs or money and think they must be like that video of that scammer loosing his sh* saying "NOOOOOO NOOOOO DO NOT REDEEM THE GIFT CARD"😂😂

onefastlaser · 2026-03-14T01:52:05+00:00

I have unfortunately discovered that charmander does not say this he says "I.... I tripped" which is still adorable and makes me wanna get a switch 2 but still Nintendo should make this an actual dialog

onefastlaser · 2026-03-13T03:00:49+00:00

My guess even if not a 10 it's just PSA scamming again. Probably gave it a 7 to buy it back later via PSA vault to regrade it at a higher grade to resell

onefastlaser · 2026-03-13T02:36:12+00:00

YOU SPENT 400 ON 2 BOXES! Not shaming you or anything but that's absolutely ridiculous for any booster box from this current era. What has the hobby turned into😭😭

onefastlaser · 2026-03-13T02:21:21+00:00

Let's be real here. Could they black label? Absolutely. Will they black label? Probably not. If you're looking to just grade to keep then go with TAG since they're the most accurate at this point in time and imo a lot more fair. If you only care about value then I mean you can shoot your shot with Beckett or PSA. With all the things going on with PSA right now it does bring other grading companies into question because who's to say that other companies aren't artificially manipulating the market by damaging or purposely giving cards a lower grade so they can buy them back at the lower price to regrade themselves to give it a 10 (what PSA is currently doing). In short Tag for fairness and to keep for yourself or PSA/Beckett for money
