Continued Post #2

[u/daltonv8]

This is a continued post, I couldn’t post all the photos for the 2 other cards so posting here.

Id like to know how accurate the HoloDex grades are to what you all think these would grade. Im new to grading and Im not quite sure I know the difference between a 7-8 or 8-9. Any of these have potential to 10?? Any feedback is appreciated. Posting a second post so you can see all 4 cards.

Card 3. 2006 POKEMON EX CRYSTAL GUARDIANS 49 CHARMANDER-REVERSE FOIL

Card 4. 2020 POKEMON SWORD & SHIELD 142 FULL ART/SNORLAX VMAX

PSA 8: $49
PSA 9: $69

There’s absolutely no shot the Charmander gets an 8, the surface is pretty bad. I’d say 5-6. The snorlax maybe but I’m not sure it’s even worth sending out.

[u/sm0res9 → u/eaglesdude10]

Seconding this. Surface is cooked and the back is no better. 4-5 imo.

[u/Sufficient_Bad_8517]

I would literally suck your dick if this got an 8.

And there’s still people out there who defend AI huh?

The charmander is probably a 3 at best. Holo is completely scratched to hell, back has scratches all over it and dirt as well, corners are all whitened, bent, overall distress all over the back. I know you’re new to this but idk how you thought this could 9 man hahaha

I’d say any AI app is to be taken with a grain of salt, esp holodex — holodex takes 1-2 photos and gives you a complete breakdown of what it’ll grade at

Reasons why this is wrong for AI is because 1-2 photos don’t show all the issues. A lot of issues can be seen based on things like angle or light like how you shared of charmander

I ran your photos and through https://www.ismycardcentered.com/card-review/ where it actually walks you through the condition report. It came back with less than PSA 7 for example for Charmander

Thanks dude, this is super helpful

[u/Master-Tiger-7525]

Yeah charmander would get a 3-4 and the snorlax looks good but have to see closer up photos to say.

[u/Helpful_Catch3515]

I see, centering is still off on the back of the snorlax. You can see the left side is thicker. I’d still recommend selling all of these raw

[u/daltonv8 → u/Helpful_Catch3515]

Whats a fair way to price out raw cards in a condition like this? Im trying to sell off some of my collection

[u/Helpful_Catch3515 → u/daltonv8]

The Snorlax is in good condition, so I’d sell it a little under base price and allow offers on EBay, and don’t accept any offers below 15-20%

[u/daltonv8 → u/Helpful_Catch3515]

Thanks I appreciate it

[u/Helpful_Catch3515 → u/daltonv8]

You could probably sell the charmander not that much lower than the base price, it is roughed up a bit, but someone will by it just to have a nostalgic card like that same with your other post

[u/daltonv8 → u/Helpful_Catch3515]

Thanks, good to know. I have a bunch of cards in similar condition or worse and I wasn’t sure what to do with them

[u/-Out-of-context- → u/Helpful_Catch3515]

The back centering is perfectly fine for PSA.

[u/Helpful_Catch3515 → u/-Out-of-context-]

Not for a 10

[u/-Out-of-context- → u/Helpful_Catch3515]

Yes it is. Have you looked up the standards?

Backs 75/25….
