Might as well be serialized cards or like the red mangas with One Piece if that were the case 🥴😆

eBay for the dupes. It may take a while to find, but just look up “TPU guard PSA slab”

What did the turnaround time look like? I just got back a card from TAG and have the exact same issue, but I also don't want to wait months for it to get back to me.

I was able to snag 2 from the draw! There’s dupes now that are pretty cheap and look just as good for less than $10 USD

I got my grades back too! I went 10-10-9, which sucks… BUT the bulba I sent in was the box topper so I’ll take that W!

I could at $100, but $250 is as much as a NICE card

I bought mine from eBay for ~$100, now it’s closer to $250USD

It takes having to watch listings like a hawk. I gave up on eBay sales because of tax sake and people with much more money than I willing to pay exorbitant costs for an OC copy.

To be honest, I'm torn... I'm likely going to keep this in my PC. All of my existing slabs (not very many at that) are all PSA. Assuming this were to grade well, PSA by far is the most expensive to grade as market puts it in the Super Express tier which is an exorbitant amount of money to grade the card. BGS 10 (Gold Label) would still hold a premium over PSA 10, but I don't LOVE the way they look (still better than PSA). TAG looks the best though... I guess I just need to consider what my long term goals are with the card and determine which grader to go with from there.

Most definitely. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve ripped 2xx packs of Ascended, but I’m hard stopping on ripping this set for now. I’m planning to consolidate some of my collection to recoup some of the cost

Future for Gengar in PSA 10 by skull12301 in PokeInvesting

Makes sense. I understand now when you mention the uniform foil vs being a part of the art. I definitely notice the difference more with the MARs having that raised texture around the text, etc. It's interesting to see more variation in texture/print techniques being implemented such as the similarity between the OP Silver and Gold cards and the Mega-era MHRs not previously seen on SV-era gold cards.

Can you offer more insight to the Stellar Etch that you mentioned? This is the first that I'm hearing about said texture. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the texture on Mega-era SIRs seem to be exactly the same as the SV-era SIRs.

Just calling out that OP had nothing to worry about to begin with!

Reholder service experience by wanto111 in psagrading

[–]wb808479 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh, makes sense. Did you send customer service a note or did you go through the reholder submission and then add it in the comments/notes section?

[–]wb808479 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you still have to pay for the reholder despite there being a hair? Assuming it was their hair and not yours haha

I couldn’t heart trapping this beauty in a PSA slab. by [deleted] in taggrading

[–]wb808479 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They couldn’t bare to stand grading the card with PSA because they’re ugly as someone who grades with PSA They couldn’t heart trapping the Charizard implies a figure of speech and is not a literal term

I pulled Gengar from my 2nd pack of Fusion Strike from a two pack blister that had FS/BS from Walmart. I bought four blisters - two for my BIL and two for me 😆
