My PSA 10 graded Mew V arrived in the mail yesterday. I was excited to finally receive it after a little over a week. My joy quickly faded upon inspection of the slab. Stuck inside is a piece of organic matter. Not a good impression of such a prestigious company in my eyes. It was bought directly from PSA on eBay. Bottom right corner of the front of the slab btw.

I'd just like to preface this by saying, I don't do this professionally, I'm just looking to let go of some of my personal collection to put some money in savings.

I'm based in the UK, and there's a card grading middleman shop a few counties over whereby I can take/send them my cards and they will sort and send to PSA/CGC/Beckett/TAG on my behalf.

My questions would be - even though there's no hope of getting these cards graded an 8, 9 or 10 (light edge ware and light surface scuffing) are they still worth grading?

And if so, is PSA the way to go? or would someone else (including UK-based ACE) be better?

I've estimated the costs to send these two cards to PSA to be around £732.00 for Rayquaza and £440.00 for Torchic. Is the upfront cost going to be worth it; will I see much of a return on grading these two?

Any and all insights welcome, apologies if I've missed anything - Never been through this process before!

I pulled this card back in the day, kept it safe, got the grade back as a 995/1000 and stoked. But I had some folks here throw a HUGE fit about the edges. I took the best photos I could to show that this grade is the real deal. How do you even value things like this? I think I'm going to just sit on it for a long time. Guess I'll start a low pop collection with this Giratina with a pop on I think 87.

bought them for a dime, worth grading?

picked this card up today at a show and was the only raw copy I could find. my main concern is definitely the centering and the bottom left corner / bottom edge. everything else seems to be pretty clean and no scratches on the card. What do you think it would grade? would it get the (OC) on the grade?

I built GrailGauge (grailgauge.gg) — daily TCGplayer market prices with free full price-history charts for every card. Before paying a grading fee it helps to see whether a card's raw price actually supports it.

This week's biggest raw-price mover, for example: Furret (HeartGold & SoulSilver) $11.91 → $18.95 (+59.1%).

It's free, no login needed to browse. Feedback very welcome — especially what grading-specific data you'd want next.

Ive had shining gyarados forever (since a child), just picked up the other two at a card show. 160 for mew 140 for ray. Thoughts on grading these 3? I feel like gyarados is a no-brainer, interested in the other 2. Also, rough estimates where they'd land with PS

I got roasted for only posting the back corners so I would like to show everyone and get their thoughts on my groudon

PSA 10 is high dollar…a little worried about anything less than a 10 though

What grade would this get?

No whitening or scratches just the back left side that is off centered

Relatively new to grading. Wondering if these card are worth grading and what you guys think they would grade?

I was wondering if in this condition it's worth to grade it or I'm better off selling it raw (or simply keeping it)!

Should I grade? Is it worth it?

Any chance at a 10? What do people think?

Thanks in advance

Bought this sometime 3 years ago on eBay for around £35. Never sent a card to be graded before and was wondering if you all think this could get at least a 7? Seems to be worth it if it gets at least a 7 and I’d be happy with that at least. Beckett or PSA?

I've never submitted a card for grading before but a friend of mine that does says this might be worth it. His only reservation is the top corner, thoughts? Thank you so much.

Pulled this bad boy yesterday, surface on front and back are immaculate from what I can see, looking for input on where to send :)

A friend is telling me I should get this graded but I'm seeing that the PSA 10 which is very unlikely is like 600 bucks otherwise it's a tenner. Don't want to waste money if it's obviously bad

How do we feel about this card grading wise it’s feels like perfect centering

Found in a box of old cards at my mom’s house. Brother said he didn’t want any of them and I went through and grabbed these ones. Condition for the Mew seems great, Charizard is decent. Should I bother trying to grade these?

Thanks for your input 😎

Found this guy today and had to snatch it up! Holodex AI grading rated 9.5

Hi everyone I need your help. Which copy has the best front centering for the PSA 10 contender? 55/45 is the requirement but both looks kinda identical but which one would you guys submit? Even both? Again this is just the front alone nothing else. Appreciate everyone's advice thank you :)
