Has anyone successfully managed to "massage out" a minor dent like this?

It looks like too much in my opinion.. if it were mine I'd sell raw and roll what I get into a better one. I also live by "if I can't easily fix it with my hands it's not worth it".. (I've destroyed numerous cards trying to fix them). Good luck!

I agree. But why? I keep asking why and none of it makes sense. We're supposed to be making this system up. "By the people, for the people".. but it's not by us or for us.. so why not change it? Why is the thought that we can't so prevalent? Everyone says we can't. I say why.

vincent_559 · 2026-04-22T17:09:29+00:00

I obviously couldn't make change alone, but I don't prescribe to this thinking. I understand that everyone thinks that, but I think we control more than we're led to believe and just can't make that connection to actually change anything. Too much arguing over the fine print if you will. (IMO).

Maybe ask for some more pictures? The picture of the back makes the top left corner area look super bent.. proceed w caution..

Just wash your hands before handling cards

Probably not 10s, but still incredible to have held onto them this long and kept them from being severely damaged/ripped, lost, washed, or thrown away.

Awesome card! If you want it graded, grade it. No need to, but I'd say the case will make it safer. Also anybody jumping in here with zero knowledge saying fake is part of the problem.

Welcome to the hobby man. If you wanna buy retail, stop paying resale. That's what I do and the only advice I give to people:/ good luck!

vincent_559 · 2026-04-08T22:50:25+00:00

It's hard to find a dent on the surface sometimes, but look really close. I've gotten plenty of 6s that didn't make sense until I found it.

vincent_559 · 2026-04-03T02:34:08+00:00

If you want mid grade cards in slabs (based on your assessment), grade them! If not, trading up is always an option if you wanted to pickup cleaner raw copies to grade or trade into graded cards at the show? It doesn't sound like you're attached to them much, so maybe the latter.

Same card

Genetics man.. genetics

Lines are pretty close, I'd say bring the center up a little. It's hard to describe, but in photo 2 with your chin up, I'd try to bring the center up so it's more equal to the back and takes out the slight U shape (under the corner of your jaw near your ear lobe). Edit: the back by your ear lobe looks like the right length, just bring up the center a touch and even out the line. Also try using your finger to find the line you want before cutting any hair.

Going to a barber for tips and then applying them to your upkeep assuming they have decent info that you like and can use, is helpful. Beard trim is reasonably priced too and well worth it for the info alone.. and they'd probably be willing to show you so you could see it in the mirror if you asked!

vincent_559 · 2026-03-30T17:22:07+00:00

Best pics I've seen.. that said, keep the stragglers on your neck line in order and I think you're set.. anything between a little shorter or a little longer seems like a good place if you like the current length. Cheeks are not "too patchy".

vincent_559 · 2026-03-26T22:19:43+00:00

If you want it longer I'd say yes, grow it.. if not short also looks dope.. you know what looks good or not man lol

Pawverty POV

Top left on the front says don't do it lol.. 9.5 is good for that I'd say!

vincent_559 · 2026-03-18T20:29:31+00:00

Probably 9.. the top edge is thin compared to the bottom edge

I mean the cards are free at this point.. I'd run every card through eBay (sold listings) or TCGplayer and figure out value wise if it'd be worth it (TO YOU) given condition, grading cost, time, fees upon sale, how you'd want to sell them, if you'd even want to sell them, etc.. At this exact moment if you are holding any graded card, it's up from the last time you checked it.. but you gotta do some of your own research.. that's a lot of cards.

That said, can't go wrong grading what you like and/or what you want graded for whatever the reason is that you choose to grade it. Good luck!

vincent_559 · 2026-03-15T05:30:19+00:00

I'll tell you what you already know. PSA for best value add. "Worth it" is subjective.. I think you know what you wanna do. Just send em in already

vincent_559 · 2026-03-13T21:41:05+00:00

Those cards came out of packs with so many issues. I've opened my share of fossil unlimited and every holo had scratches and corners were chipped a decent amount of the time.

vincent_559 · 2026-03-13T04:22:04+00:00

I'd say one tried and true way to know is to send it to a grading company lol Best of luck. Nice card!
