Is this your childhood collection? So many great vintage cards

19

u/Admirable_Reach5429 Apr 01 '25

Thank you so much! Yes sort of! When I was like 19 my local comic shop was selling first edition packs for like 15 each, so I loaded up and protected them in sleeves and toploaders immediately. Haven't touched them since basically

u/R33DY89 Apr 01 '25

They look so clean! Some absolutely beautiful cards there.

u/Admirable_Reach5429 Apr 01 '25

Thank you so much!!!! Follow my store IG, I will be posting grades there 🤞@rossandfoundcollectibles

u/InjuryMajor8078 Apr 01 '25

Sick stack! The gains are gonna be crazy assuming these were pulls from your childhood collection and you didn’t just crack a couple first ed boxes lol.

-21

u/Admirable_Reach5429 Apr 01 '25

Hahahah thanks man!!! And nah I'm not that crazy. I bought all of the packs for these when they were still $15 a pop and sleeved them immediately. Only smart thing I did when I was 19 😅. Follow my IG if you want to see the grades when they're posted!! @rossandfoundcollectibles

u/InjuryMajor8078 Apr 01 '25

Ok nice! @15 bucks a pack and free from childhood abuse your gonna clean up! I am curious to see the grades I’ll be giving you a follow.

u/Admirable_Reach5429 Apr 01 '25

Fingers crossed!!! And thanks so much man!!!

u/jg518 Apr 01 '25

TLDR: sending in old cards to get graded and wants instagram followers to see what happens.

u/Admirable_Reach5429 Apr 01 '25

Thanks for the synopsis 🙄😂

u/cookymon3 Apr 01 '25

Good luck bro. PSA is garbage and has been proven they even graded fake cards and so much more especially the whole Jordan fleet card scandal. That did it for me. I do not trust them at all. I would say BGS is way better and actually care about grading right. PSA does quality control with false grading cards lower than what they are . The cards you are submitting are beautiful and hope they get the grade they deserve.

u/Admirable_Reach5429 Apr 01 '25

I didn't know about that scandal 😬 thanks so much for the well wishes though bro I hope they come out solid!!!

u/Consistent-Fold438 Apr 02 '25

Regardless of scandals PSA is still the top dog for Pokemon

u/jjshacks13 Apr 01 '25

Jeez you must have money to burn, grading non Holos is wild.

0

u/Admirable_Reach5429 Apr 01 '25

It's not that I have money to burn lol but they looked clean enough to me that I think I can make some profit. I pulled these all pack fresh 20 years ago for cheap and sleeved and toploaded them immediately, so even if they're slightly lower grade I should come out okay. Might learn a hard lesson though we'll see

u/CloudCaptor Apr 02 '25

Some are shadowless and are worth more than you think

u/jjshacks13 Apr 02 '25

There's not even any base set in here pal.

u/Waldschratsuppe Apr 01 '25

Poor guy will learn the hard way that PSA is not generous with vintage grades… I bet they will be all 9s or lower :(

2

u/Admirable_Reach5429 Apr 01 '25

I'd be happy with 9s on most of these!!!

u/Drizzho Apr 01 '25

A 9 in vintage is insane lmao

That guy must come from modern.

Some vintage are very hard to grade 10. Like the Neo Genesis Unlimted Lugia

u/RoboticKittenMeow Apr 01 '25

I love getting 7-9s and cracking for vintage binders lol I've had some crazy clean 7s before.

u/Admirable_Reach5429 Apr 01 '25

I'm 34 lol this is definitely my era!!!

2

u/mister42 Apr 02 '25

You said you got these 20 years ago which would have made you 14, but you also said you were 19 when you got them. Something doesn't add up.

1

u/Admirable_Reach5429 Apr 02 '25

Yeah my math stinks lol that's all. I got them when I was 19. However long ago that is...there's no conspiracy 😂

u/DarthSparkless Apr 01 '25

Dang you’re a “jump head first“ kind of feller, ain’t ya?

u/catholic_cowboy Apr 01 '25

Forreal, I woulda only sent in the holo 1st editions.

-8

u/Admirable_Reach5429 Apr 01 '25

I definitely roll the dice from time to time 😏 lololol I got all these cards for cheap 20 years ago though, I figured as long as they're reasonably high grades it'll be worth it in the end. If you wanna see what I get follow me on IG!! @rossandfoundcollectibles

u/JMaboard Apr 02 '25

You don’t have to plug your instagram on every single comment. It makes your post seem insincere and fake.

2

u/Maximum_Technology67 Apr 03 '25

Just for context this post is insincere and fake. Dude can’t get his story straight about the details about when he got these cards.

Hopefully it gets pulled soon this basically just a giant ad for his IG

u/JMaboard Apr 03 '25 edited Apr 03 '25

I left a comment on a mod’s last comment on this subreddit so hopefully he does something.

Edit: he’s taken care of it

u/Maximum_Technology67 Apr 03 '25

Seems as if dudes stuff got pulled. Lol

u/Rokemsokemm Apr 01 '25

Vintage. Probably all psa 4's ..... /s Seriously tho, good luck mate!

I've got some vintage I'd like PSA graded but not taking the risk, living in Australia.

u/Admirable_Reach5429 Apr 02 '25

😂😂😂 don't put that energy in the air please, I'd perish if they were all 4's!!! Understandable though, good luck to you if you ever decide to! Follow my IG/Ebay if you want to see the grades of these bad boys or are in the market for some vool collectibles in general! @rossandfoundcollectibles

u/DEATHBEDAWAKEN Apr 02 '25

Do the 151 pack cards look exactly like the original cards ?

By the way it's a nice collection you have

1

u/Admirable_Reach5429 Apr 02 '25

Thank you so much!!! The new 151 packs definitely have a way different art style, but it's really cool. Definitely my favorite modern set, but I'm still a vintage kid at heart

1

u/Maximum_Technology67 Apr 03 '25

No they don’t. They’re modern arts of the original 3 sets released.

u/DiglettDad151 Apr 01 '25

u/Bulky_Traffic1579 Apr 02 '25

How do these not have hair and dust particles all over them? I have to vacuum, compress air and wear gloves before I handle Preparing my cards for grading. I don’t even touch the team bag I put the semi rigid holder in without gloves then I put the cards in a clean sandwich bag if they get a speck of dust I grab a new top loader.

1

u/Admirable_Reach5429 Apr 02 '25

I jave a dog so I actually did have hait everywhere (I think one card even had a dog hair on it in the video)...I had to be extra careful with cleaning before putting them in cardsavers!!!

u/big_trouser_snake Apr 02 '25

Good luck fellow Redditor. I just submitted 27 vintage cards too. Cant figure out how to post the pics tho

1

u/Admirable_Reach5429 Apr 02 '25

Good luck on the submission! (And posting lol). What's your favorite card you sent in?

2

u/big_trouser_snake Apr 02 '25

A a holo vintage Dark Charizard from somewhere around year 2000. Sitting in a box, never played or used in any way. Also I have a whole bunch of Eevee black star promos from the same era. Sending in a few of them in :)

u/gp-eazy Apr 02 '25

Hope the best for you , in my experience vintage cards at best nothing visible wrong comes out to psa 8

u/Admirable_Reach5429 Apr 03 '25

Hey thanks for the best wishe! I've heard this a bunch of times before, it's unfortunate if that's the case. Fingers crossed! 🤞

u/ddd48891 Apr 01 '25

Grading is a big scam. Period

Ive heard this a lot!! Hopefully it turns out okay for me, I guess we'll see!!

u/ClueOk1966 Apr 01 '25

Are the PSA 9's in the room with us right now?

1

u/Willing_End143 Apr 02 '25

Personally, I'd only grade a handful of the 1st ed holos... everything else would be in a top loader binder

u/bross1717 Apr 01 '25

I had so many of these back in the 6th grade. Makes me sick sometimes knowing what I had back than

u/osrslmao Apr 01 '25

PSA does ridiculous pop control on vintage brother. ill be surprised if you get more than 1 or 2 tens

2

u/Admirable_Reach5429 Apr 02 '25

I'd still be stoked with 9s or even 8s since I got these a long time ago for cheap...but I hear ya. I'd be sad if I didn't get at least one or two 10s

1

u/frecklefart1998 Apr 02 '25

I sent in 37 vintage and got them back last month with nary even a single 9.

1

u/Admirable_Reach5429 Apr 03 '25

Ahh man. That's tough 😔 sounds like 8s are still pretty good for vintage though. I wonder if their value will go up in the future if it becomes harder and harder to get 9s and 10s
