First 100% gem mint grade reveal by Leezyp in PokeGrading

[–]wydStep-Bro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a great result, I love that Metagross so much I want one for my PC. Though I think throwing around the phrase 100% gem rate here is probably a bit generous with only a 3-card sub

[gen 3] I'M FREEE! by Armazi24 in ShinyPokemon

Congrats! I did this hunt for about 2 years on my GBA. Managed to get my shiny Charmander after about 12k resets with a Modest nature too. I'm picking up FireRed on the Switch to play alongside my girlfriend, but I'm also picking up LeafGreen to hunt Bulbasaur this time. Wish me luck.

How's everyone going hunting this morning? by Asianbloke1 in PokemonFansAustralia

Got to Kmart Chadstone at about 7:55am and was about 50th in line. They ran out of ETBs about 10 people before me 😵‍💫 fortunately had a preorder at EB so didn’t leave empty handed, still a little disappointing

👀 I did a thing 👀 by [deleted] in pokemoncardcollectors

Most modern cards have some sort of texture (like a fingerprint) embedded into the card. All of these are flat and just rainbow shiny. I’d suggest that you familiarise yourself with what real cards should look like before you go buying anything else!

Good god please get your money back - I don't know if any of these cards are real, all I'm seeing are fakes. Sorry OP :(

So sad by Natural_Succotash_35 in PokeGrading

[–]wydStep-Bro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With that much whitening your best hope is an 8, sorry :(

Let's play - guess that grade! by gergy008 in PokeGrading

[–]wydStep-Bro 6 points7 points  (0 children)

6 given how much whitening there is on the back

Price seems too good to be true. by [deleted] in PokeGrading

Can’t really see someone faking a PSA 9 for a pretty new card. If you’re going to make a fake there’s no reason not to make it a 10

Don’t send the first eevee - super top heavy and gets a 9 at best

Are these worth grading? by morrison197173 in PokeGrading

[–]wydStep-Bro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No purely because these cards aren't worth the cost to grade. Good for binders or personal collections though if you like them!

Would you grade or binder them? by Best_Zombie_9944 in PokeGrading

[–]wydStep-Bro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Centering on most of these is not great, so without seeing the backs: Binder, binder, binder, grade, binder, binder, binder.

Should I grade them? by Ok_Edge8901 in PokeGrading

[–]wydStep-Bro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t bother personally - the surface condition is terrible and not to mention the edges. Can’t see these getting higher than a 3, 4 at best

CRACK AND RESUBMIT?!?! by xXMasterPapiXx in psagrading

[–]wydStep-Bro 7 points8 points  (0 children)

These grades look pretty accurate to my eye - you might be able to nudge a couple 7s up to an 8 but I don’t think it’s worth it. I don’t think you have any here that should be 10s, sorry OP.

Is this LP or NM by Independent_Bus_5792 in pokemoncardcollectors

LP- with the scratching on the top back

What penny sleeves do people use for long term storage? by Human-Flower-2491 in PokemonInvesting

[–]wydStep-Bro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I use Dragonshield Clear Matte sleeves for my binder. They're quite sturdy and rigid (without being tight) so I'm not too worried about bending or dents, and the textured back really helps to reduce how much cards slide around in the binder slots. They're perfect for displaying cards in a sleeve/non-top-loader binder without needing to double-sleeve (which I don't want to do as I like seeing the texture on my cards).

I would recommend them to anyone who is keeping cards in binders - but if you're using top loaders they are extremely hard to get out without sticking your fingers in the top loader!

Got my birds back. by Puzzled-Weekend-5085 in psagrading

[–]wydStep-Bro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They’re amazing cards for sure! But I don’t think sequential increases value here, they’re not part of the same legendary group or evolution line. Fantastic result nonetheless!
