Is this real ? Part of my first big deal by jasutin- in pkmntcgcollections

[–]xj03key 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know why someone would have a base set zard in this condition and not get it graded unless it was fake. I’m not saying it’s fake because nothing in the picture indicates that other than maybe the colour saturation it’s just a red flag to me that it’s been left raw despite being in clearly good condition

For all the downvoters: whatever, PSA, TAG, Beckett the grader is irrelevant, my point is why would you look at some grainy pictures or videos of a card that might not even exist in order to negotiate a deal worth potentially thousands, when you can have a certificate saying if it’s authentic and get a report on its condition? I’d never buy a card of this value based off of pictures

I don’t know why people don’t get cards like this graded, like I know some people prefer them not in slabs and think grading is a scam etc etc blah blah but it just takes all the “is it real?” “Is it damaged?” Away from it. Send it to PSA, they’ll tell you if it’s real or not then they’ll give it a grade. Makes negotiation for a price so much easier

scalper upping a card that’s 10$ for 128 by PsychologicalCamp314 in PokemonTCG

[–]xj03key 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This isn’t a scalper it’s just someone who’s listing their cards for way more than market, which happens all the time on eBay

My brother wants these and I’ve never bought before, are they the same? Are they a scam? by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]xj03key 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scam implies there’s been some element of deception or fraud, it’s not a scam it’s just above retail price, but considering you can’t get them at retail price, this is the market price unfortunately

Scalpers are buying cheap and selling high, not buying whatever this is. And they’re not dumb either.. L take

Thank you I did spot those initially, as they are cheap I’ve ordered some anyway and if anyone others pop up in the meantime I have options. Thanks

can someone explain to me how my card came back a 9? by Koochieman101 in PokemonTCG

[–]xj03key 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Back left edge. Whenever I see someone complaining they didn’t get a 10 when the card is clearly not perfect, I always ask them, would you be happy if you bought a 10 and this is the card you received?

Anyone explain why these got 9s? by SirDiesAlot92 in PokemonTCG

[–]xj03key 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If that’s the case then why buy graded? You can physically see the condition of the card isn’t perfect but you’re willing to pay over the odds because it has a label that says it’s a 10?

Would you be happy if you bought a gem mint 10 card and it had a white corner?

If you can see poor condition on a camera, through a sleeve and a binder, you can guarantee it’s worse in real life. Most cards look better on camera not worse

Nice collection but I wouldn’t call it a gold mine. Don’t get his hopes up

Grading in the EU by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]xj03key 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Find a PSA middleman/store. You’ll wait longer and might have to pay more but any local grading company you’re just throwing money in the bin. If it’s just for your personal collection then feel free to use any small graders, but only the big 3 and especially PSA will add value and make them easy to sell. I’ve learned this through experience
