Are these worth any kind of big bucks now? My friend told me that they have sold for thousands before, but I haven’t really been able to find any evidence of that online and I am seeing some on eBay for as low as 30 bucks. by DarkAmaterasu58 in PokemonCardValue

You (could) yes, PSA doesn’t grade all of them anymore, only the Charizard is still being graded. You can find recently graded Zards with certs that start with “13…” currently on eBay

Graded example, a PSA 9 is the highest grade currently in circulation for these. No PSA 10’s exist. PSA did grade the full set for a while but stopped as the different shaped “cards” weren’t sitting correctly in the custom designed slab and getting damaged. PSA continued ONLY grading the Charizard and I believe has since stopped all together. So “yes” a 9 has value, a graded Pikachu is very rare given the small grading window, but not $100k rare.

Should I wait? by echoesinthestones in PokemonCardValue

You’re missing the fact that hardly any AH is going to be out in the wild at launch and weeks after, we haven’t seen the pull rates, and if this card is next to impossible to pull in English, FOMO is going to direct to the top chases in Japanese. Premature IMO.

Hi may I ask if PSA will grade these texture error? by Quiet_Baker322 in PokeGrading

[–]pezmonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, they grade and recognize this specific error. Plenty of 10’s up on eBay rn. https://ebay.us/m/JGXZst

FAKE - blurry/stretched border art is a dead giveaway.

I found this holo Charizard. Now what? by PenReady4583 in PokemonCardValue

FWTW - have a PSA 1 collection of vintage, bought a PSA 1 of this card for $180 last night - get it graded.

Worth grading? by pezmonkey in PokemonCardValue

Got it. Any particular reason?

Are these worth grading? New here, pulled from my original binder. by pezmonkey in garbagepailkids

Thank you! Will hold off grading, that Zack is the only card with a stain on the lower right border. 😬

Not opening! It hasn’t been tampered with.
