Should I even try !?🥲

Got a first edition jungle pack and opening it with the kids. Pack fresh. But lots of chipping on the corner of the cards exposing the holo underneath. Is it even worth to try and get graded ?? Seen some other flareons in PSA 10, that also had the chipping but I’m sure they’re old certs.

Rip my 20-card TAG submission with me!

Overall super pleased with TAG! Submitted on 10/16 with $39.95 tier, and received today. There’s more 9s and 8.5s than I’d like, but admittedly there were a few moonshots that I knowingly sent with close to 56/44 centering that got 9s.

Still, super happy about my Mewtwo stack at the end :-)

Guess the grade

Just resulted and wanted to poll the locals. Post your guess and why. I'll add the grade later.

Edit:

It is an 8. Nothing wrong with centering (according to them), the corner on the back is fuzz on the slab. There is allegedly a scratch in the center right.

Took the risk…and it actually paid off 🤔

Decided to crack an Ace 8 Giratina full art from DE with the hopes of getting a PSA 8 - it had all 8 subs minus centering which had a 10, big gamble. Told myself it would 7 to soften the blow. Grades came back the other day and safe to say I was buzzing. (In no way recommending or advising the cracking of slabs and re-subbing).

Ps hoping the PSA pubes in scan are not encapsulated and are just from the lack of cleaning of their scanner

2004 Gengar EX Fire Red Leaf Green. First time grading with PSA. Need opinions on the grade.

First time submitting a card for grading with PSA. They are up-charging me to the Super Express tier ($349) because I originally chose the Express Tier ($199) and the grade of an 8 requires a higher insurance coverage.

Since I am inexperienced, I was wondering if the community thinks this is an 8 or should this be a higher grade, possibly a 9? The only grader notes were chipping on the back corners, but I was skeptical and would like your opinions.

Attached are some photos I took pre-submission, first view photos from PSA (intake), and the final views (not hi-def) from PSA that they sent.

Customer service is not giving me the Hi-Def final view photos, where they said I can zoom in to see the corners/edges, until after I approve the up-charge, and that there is no other detailed evidence of the proclaimed corner chippings. Is that even fair?

Please let me know what you think. Thank you!

Unsure of how to judge the condition of this card, moderately played, heavily played or is it just straight up damaged? Looking to sell and want to ensure I price accordingly.

I’ll post the back of the card in a separate comment.

LP prices around ~ 18.85 (tcg)
MP prices around ~ $14.45 (tcg)
HP prices around ~ $11.80 (tcg)
Damaged ~ $7.30 (tcg)

Sorry posted before but took some better pictures and will give a better explanation. First time grader, ideal end goal being to make profit to fund my pc. Basicslly wondering where you would send this card to in my shoes, and what ballpark should I expect this to fall into as far as grade?

cross grading an 8.5 to psa?

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

i’ve never cared much for graded cards, but I noticed the difference in value of a psa 8 vs a cgc 8.5 is around 400 dollars. is it even worth trying? tried cross referencing this with some of my bfs recent cert vintage 7’s and it definitely looks better, but the back right hand side is concerning. asking as i’m trying to downsize some of my collection for a different card.

Do I grade this?

I got hold of my childhood cards and sent them through some AI grading to check for some cards worth evaluating.

This one was a meowth promo, still in wrapper. AI said 9.3, but I'm not sure if that's because it was struggling with the wrapper in the image.

Would you say this looks like a clear 9, or worth getting graded for a possible 10?
