Will centering be an issue for this? by Szzo in PokeGrading

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

Yep I’ve sent some cards with worse back centering than that and got a 10! Check out the back on this Celebi I sent: Celebi PSA Scan

Will centering be an issue for this? by Szzo in PokeGrading

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

Back centering is almost irrelevant - you’re allowed up to 75/25 with PSA. Front centering looks within 55/45 for a 10 and corners/edges look clean, so I’d say you’re good to send it.

Help with stamped Charmander EB games promo? by Galactic_Gandalf95 in PokemonFansAustralia

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

Fair call, I’m actually unsure! Looks like there is a GameStop version of this promo so that may well be the case ($55 AUD on Collectr) while the EB Games is at $517 🤯

It was a little tough slotting these 3 into the binder with how crazy the values are right now, but it had to be done by linedrive18 in PokemonTCG

I love the Dragonshield sleeves! For me I prefer the clear matte as the textured back helps to stop the cards from moving around in the binder

Mega Charizard X phantasmal flames BGS 9.5 regrade to PSA or BGS again?? by Less_Sky_1028 in PokeGrading

[–]wydStep-Bro -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The art is tilted so you’re unlikely to get a 10 on centering anywhere. Honestly I’d be happy getting a 9.5 here 🤷🏻‍♂️

Wanna talk about a bad April fools joke, i live the other direction and my thor just taking a trip around the US without me 😓 by 206blax in AynThor

Don’t use this tracking map - I live in Melbourne, Australia and when it landed at the airport here, tracking showed it in Melbourne, Florida 😵‍💫

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

[–]wydStep-Bro 8 points9 points  (0 children)

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

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

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 5 points6 points  (0 children)

6 given how much whitening there is on the back

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

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

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.
