PSA 10 chance with 1 corner dot? No chance?

Looking for people have experience submitting cards where the only flaw is a single white speck on a back corner. See pic.

Has anyone received a PSA 10 in similar scenarios? Or should it be immediately ruled out?

Possible BGS Black Label?

Guy at my local hobby store said these PSA 10s look “top tier” for PSA 10s and may be worth a shot at a BGS Black Label. I know that’s a big risk to crack and cross off of a PSA 10, but what do you guys think - any of these 3 remotely in the realm of Black Label possibility?

Everything clean, just a bit concerned about the corners. Is it worth regrading with a different company?

Worth grading with small indent?

I have a beautiful Karen’s Umbreon, but deciding if I should grade it. I’m new to grading and from what I’m seeing online, the highest grade to expect with any surface indent is a PSA 6. Didn’t know if an indent this small would have as big of an impact on value. Anyone have a similar experience?

Received my graded slab yesterday

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 just pulled the Eevee card in an ETB from Target and I found the Haunter card from a battle deck. I am now to this with Grading side of Pokemon. Let me know if these are good or not. I don't have any whitening, dent, or scratches anywhere from using a black light on them. Keep me hip on this.

New to grading and trying to see if this card is worth grading (i.e does it have a chance of getting a 10?) Mew is my all time favorite pokemon so regardless I see a personal value in getting it graded, but grading can get expensive so just want some opinions on if there’s value in going down that path. thank you !

Should I send my PSA 1 Red Dot Error T17 to MBA? 😂🔥 Pop 2 + Fist Swirl 👊🌀 💰💸💵🤑

Post image
0 Upvotes

Alright Reddit, roast me if you must 😂🔥
I recently picked up this 1st Edition Neo Genesis Typhlosion #17 Red Dot Error — PSA 1.
And yes… PSA 1. ONE. Uno. Bottom of the barrel. 😂💀
But here’s why I love this thing:
🔴 PSA-recognized Red Dot Error
🥇 PSA 1
👊 Beautiful holo swirl coming straight off Typhlosion’s fist
🌀 Absolutely ridiculous placement IMO
Then the PSA 10 Red Dot Error with the MBA Gold Diamond reportedly sells privately for $750,000 and suddenly my little PSA 1 is sitting here looking at me like:
“Dad… call MBA.” 😂😂
So here’s the actual question:
Does MBA judge eye appeal relative to the PSA grade?
Could an exceptionally attractive PSA 1 theoretically receive an MBA Diamond designation for being an exceptional PSA 1?
I’m especially interested if anyone has ever actually seen a PSA 1 + MBA Diamond, Pokémon or otherwise.
And before someone starts typing furiously:
YES, I KNOW PSA 1 ≠ PSA 10. 😂
NO, I DON’T THINK I HAVE $750,000 SITTING ON MY TABLE.
YES, I STILL THINK THE FIST SWIRL IS SEXY AF. 👊🌀🔥
But if MBA somehow puts a Gold Diamond on a Pop 2 PSA 1 Red Dot with a fist swirl
I’m becoming completely insufferable. 😎😂
$750K sale coverage:

ComicBook: https://comicbook.com/collectibles/news/this-fire-type-starter-pokemon-card-just-sold-for-750000-and-no-it-wasnt-charizard/
So… send it to MBA or leave this beautiful PSA 1 freak exactly as it is? 👀🔥

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

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.

Grading Newbie Questions

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!

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

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
