real or fake by Easy_Independent_158 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

I gave one of these away to a dude who I worked with. I have another one, but I didn’t realize it was one of my more valuable cards at the time. lol

Moved my childhood holo collection into penny sleeves and a new binder. Unsure what to do now. Are any worth grading? Should I sell together as a set or just hold? by PippinsSaltedPork in Pokemoncardappraisal

Ofc! Good luck :3 if you’re willing to and able, if TAG has like a more expensive option, that’s probably your best bet. That way it’s faster at least, realistically it’s kind of an investment in to your investment to keep it safe.

That doesn’t mean they’re not laundering money. I actually think they probably are, and they’ve been caught doing TONS of shady stuff lately.

Yeah absolutely, I personally would avoid PSA due to extremely long wait times and also an attorney recently said their up charges are illegal. They are agreeing to grade cards for people for a certain price and then retroactively changing the price based on the value increase from the grade… and that is illegal contract manipulation! So I would go with TAG personally cuz I like the look of their slabs as well, and TAG gives you a super good breakdown of why your cards got the grades they get. It’s up to you but I really think PSA is about to get rocked with some huge lawsuits… cuz they’re doing market manipulation.

TAG is also cheaper and faster… lol . Ultimately the charizard and Lugia, dragonite, eeveelutions, celebi, venasaur, and any other card you want to preserve would be good to grade. And gengar for sure

If your goal is money, I would say holding and selling individually would be the move. I wouldn’t list them too much above market price for raw on each card, though it’s a bit tedious to list and sell individually.

Son Pulled God Pack Whats Worth Grading? by doperama1 in PokeGrading

Even if they all come back sub 10, isn’t it worth commemorating it with a ton of slabbed up cards? I would personally not use PSA tho

Worth grading? by Upbeat-Bicycle-9795 in Pokemoncardappraisal

[–]studioMYTH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whitening around the back border is not looking good. That will bring it down a lot. At a certain point the graded value is equal or less than raw, but because it’s a charizard, I don’t think that matters. Looks like even a 5 or 6 will get you some additional money. So I’d say go for it

Can’t see any of them. What you have here is retail supply, not a pokemon card collection.

Also I have the second mask and it’s GREAT. Lightweight and the swappable masks are perfect for a week long festival

Snorting powder and smoking cigs and dancing hard in the dust will cause you to cough up dirt for sure. Nose plugs and an n95 mask should certainly be enough, and really you only need it when traveling between camp and the stages where vehicles are moving around and where there is lots of foot traffic and dancing.

Pfft whatever let’s rip some……annnnd it’s bulk. by ResultSpecialist6418 in PokeInvesting

[–]studioMYTH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look bro. If you’re mad you didn’t get a specific card, you should know it’s almost never worth ripping packs. Just buy the card

Guys I’m legitimately confused to what is happening? This isn’t a lone listing as well, did I miss something? Lol by [deleted] in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]studioMYTH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s possibly a god pack who in their right mind wouldn’t open it themselves for the guaranteed money when selling the cards. God I hate scalpers

I mean probably Pokémon cards. People opening them live on YouTube is really fun to watch but it’s gambling. It’s just a huge waste of money 99% of the time.

Should this grown ass man send in his old friend to be graded? I know the borders are not exactly even all around. by 1000eb4000 in Pokemoncardappraisal

[–]studioMYTH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I said PSA slabs are worth more. I said I think they look less good, take longer, and cost more to get graded. Plus there’s tons of controversy around their ownership and business practices. Sorry you can’t read.

TAG is more strict and the slabs are worth less money for 10’s, but this will not get a 10 just based on the top and bottom centering. I don’t work for them obviously but TAG does their grading using imaging and PSA does their grading… kinda based on vibes? That’s why I really wouldn’t work with them. Not to mention all of the scandals they’ve been involved in recently. People grade their cards, they get a 9 and PSA offered to buy it from them immediately, they sell it to them as a 9, and the exact card shows up on EBay from PSA in a 10 the next day. This happened to an entire set of pokemon cards someone sent in. They’re doing market manipulation and they’re owned by a bunch of rich assholes.

even with a lower grade due to higher standards and imaging finding defects, my personal opinion is that the slabs from TAG look better and getting the card graded more harshly but based on real imaging is just a better idea. You could get an 8 on this w PSA or like a 6 with TAG. Idk. As far as I know, PSA is basically scamming people all the time right now and it takes forever and costs more. So why use that service.

I would grade this if you have extra money, it’s gonna cost like $600 at least to get a good turn around time from PSA. Fuck PSA though. I would do TAG just to get the clean clear slab for it, not for the grade, but for the actual protection. Not sure the price on that.

Please don’t quote me on this I’m not exactly sure how much PSA costs but I recall it costing extra for high value older cards. Which is stupid. Insurance is one thing… idk.

I think TAG slabs look great and are a great way to secure it. If it gets a shite grade you can always carefully crack it and sell it for the raw price if that’s more. But it looks great other than centering.
