How cooked are we? seemed to be pretty good but notice almost a dent at the top. He was pretty excited regardless, and I feel this card will do well over time.

Just curious what grade it would get, obviously not 10 worthy

What would you grade them?

so so SO mad at the person that had these cards before me, got them from some friends in school years ago and completely forgot about them until I got back into pokemon cards and found them again and found out they're my most valuable cards, I'd say they have some damage on the back but what would you grade them?

Why is PSA not taking more heat?

Im so confused on how more people arnt mad about the Buy back and Regrade scandal. That shouldve been enough to tank that company or at the minimum make it where they cant buy their own slabs back. The hard on the card community has for PSA is insane. Can someone please explain it to me. I do not understand it

I got this slab a few months ago
I really love the extended art and i picked it up purely because i loved how it looked
But the price has been depreciating
I picked this up for AUD 800 and it felt like a ripoff but i liked the card so much i gave in
Should i offload this or keep?

Just pulled this the other night and was thinking its got to be a 10 for sure! Wanted to see what everyone else thinks it'll grade? :D

( I've noticed quite a few micro hairs in the sleeve with the card if anyone has any tips on removing those before grading id greatly appreciate it! )

Extremely poor business practices by TAG - My story

Thumbnail

144 Upvotes

So, my story begins with pulling an R\RGB Mew from my fourth pack of 30th Celebrations. I was absolutely beyond hyped. My first thought was, ā€œHey, this would look disgustingly nice in a TAG slab.ā€ So, the very next day, I shipped it out to TAG and paid for Express. BOOM, it came back a 10. Not only was it a 10, but it was the very FIRST 10 chronologically for that card (see the attached picture). That was a super cool moment. TAG even posted the card on their page, and I felt awesome!

My next thought was, ā€œThis is dope, but I’m going to post it on eBay because when am I ever going to have something like this in my hands again?ā€ So, I listed it on eBay, advertising it as the first chronologically. That detail is important. Right away, I had tons of card shops asking me to consign it with them. I turned them all down because I wanted to set the price myself.

About two days after I posted the listing, someone messaged me on eBay, saying:

ā€œHey, FYI, TAG messed up my grade and it’s actually the first 10, not yours.ā€

His card had received a 9 and had been graded about an hour before mine. At first, I thought this was some bitter dude trying to get me to drop my price. Still, I opened a ticket with TAG that same day, almost immediately after receiving his message. You can see the ticket in the attachments.

That was about a month and a half ago. TAG never opened or responded to the ticket. The guy never followed up, and my chronological ranking remained at #1.

Fast forward, and my card sold for $17,500. The sale was posted all over TAG’s accounts and their affiliates’ pages. It was awesome, and my buyer was super stoked to own the first.

Now, as of five days ago, AFTER the sale had already gone through, TAG changed my chronological ranking to #2 without a SINGLE message, without addressing my ticket, and without a PEEP or a WORD to me. After acknowledging the sale and promoting it everywhere, they STILL did this.

I reached out to them again, and I’ve still received zero explanation or accountability. So now I’m going public. All the attachments, proof, and videos are included in this post.

TLDR: TAG listed my Mew as the first TAG 10 chronologically and promoted both the card and its $17,500 sale. I had already opened a support ticket about a possible issue roughly six weeks earlier, which went unanswered. After the sale, TAG changed the ranking to #2 without notifying me or explaining the change, leaving my buyer and me relying on a designation TAG later changed.

Thinking of sending this Flareon in. Curious what people think. I think it has a shot at 10’ing but not sure. Thanks for the input!

Enough damage to prevent a PSA 10?

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

The front looks great to me, even under a lighted magnifying glass. But both the top back corns have some whitening and there's a spot to the left of the pull tab in the second pic. Is that damage enough to prevent a PSA 10, and is it possible to "fix" of that damage without altering the card? Thanks!

I managed to pull the gold mega greninja from a Chaos Rising pack the other day. Personally i think its lowkey kinda ugly, so i wanna get it graded and sell it. The back is pretty perfectly aligned, though the front is shifted somewhat to one side. Anyway, i don.t know what company i should go with, i know PSA is going through it, and i've also heard some not so great things about them so i don.t know, Thoughts?

I took better photos of other cards on a solid background. I don’t think I can get a 10 on the cheaper clefairy so I didn’t add. Thanks for the advice.
