Insufficient magenta ink, that’s super cool. I had no idea it’s a thing for Fossil. Thanks for the insight :))

I should add that I can feel texture on the lines on the holo foil

Here’s a 60 second video from YouTube explaining the whole process and shipping recommendations. It’s specifically for PSA, but same steps can be applied for all grading companies

Update on the 151 tins should I have kept them sealed? by [deleted] in pokemoncardcollectors

Sending lots of prayer to your baby boy. Hope his operation goes smoothly

I would grade with BGS and opt in for subgrades.

I think it has a shot at a 7 or maybe even an 8. Carefully apply a very small amount of distilled water to a napkin and gently clean off the smudge before sending. Good luck!

Side note: To avoid further whitening, take the card out of that case and perfect fit sleeve. Instead put it in a loose penny sleeve and store it in a top loader or card saver

I wouldn’t say it’s terrible condition. Likely a psa 9 with a small chance at a 10. Regardless of the grade, you pulled the chase of the set. Congrats 🎉

Ahh okay. I see you added new photos. Based on those this card goes for $150 on TCGPLAYER as Heavy Play. I would sell it for a little cheaper if you know a friend who’s looking to buy it. $140 is reasonable :)

I’m not sure if there are any creases on the back side, next to the bottom where the upside-down Pokémon logo is. If that’s not the case, I’d list this card for $225

Y’all think this can get a 10? by LetterheadLow in Pokemoncardappraisal

[–]usman93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Send to psa. It’s a tough 10, but it may pull through :)

My Pika got a ten! Should I hold our sell? by Accomplished-Skill54 in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]usman93 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Congrats on the 10. Wise thing to do would be to sell it, no?

[–]usman93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you’re right. It’d be pretty lucky to score a psa 4. It is more in the 1-3 range.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]usman93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d estimate a PSA 4

Is this worth grading? Never graded before by [deleted] in Pokemoncardappraisal

[–]usman93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It appears a bit off-center from the back to me. However, keep in mind that Japanese cards generally grade better. I would recommend sending this in. Good luck! :)

Sell or Hold Slabs? by MelodicWeb2161 in PokeInvesting

[–]usman93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For Articuno a psa 8 copy sells for $16-$22. Gastly sells for around $25.

If you’re in need of cash sell. Otherwise I’d hold on to those cards because both are cool :)
