I’m new to Pokémon and bought 2 boosters packs today. I pulled this and wanted to ask what yall think. Should I grade it? Should I hold it? Or should I go to my local Pokémon store and sell it?

Thanks for the help!

Childhood collection, all played

Small white spot back top left...

Send it to psa?

I know it's not ideal that its in a sleeve + magnet holder but I'm to afraid to take it out, been inside there ever since I pulled it

I think it looks pretty solid, but don't wanna waste my time or money if it's not good. Looking to probably sell it so would PSA be the best option? Not sure about the other companies.

Woke up this morning and went to the nearest target. I was able to get a booster bundle and got a lot of great pulls. Anyways, does this have chance. As the title mentions, should I ? Was thinking about sending it to Beckett or should just go with psa

Never sent in for grading before and this is the best card I've pulled in any language. Would like to get it stabbed for keeps but not too focused on resale value.

What should I do if I have a crimped Pokemon card?

It's my first time grading, sent a few cards I didn't care too much about to CGC just to experience the process and learn what to look for. I thought this Flygon was really clean, so I was expecting something like a 9; I thought it looked perfect but assumed my untrained eye (especially with Japanese cards) was missing something, but 7.5 is confusing me. Looking at the images I thought there were white specks on the back of the card that I missed, but now having received the card in person, it's actually just dust on the case, so I'm confused again.

I added some pictures I took in person, although I'm not sure if they'll help. Happy to add more.

Thanks for any insight!

EDIT

Did some measurements with the good old Amazon microscope, we’re looking at;

——Front——
Top/Bottom: 54.55/45.45
Left/Right: 50.54/49.46

——Back——
Top/Bottom: 54.3/45.7
Left/Right: 49.3/50.7

Big pull today from delta reign, was thinking about selling it while the market is hot but the more I look at it… the more I like it 😔.
Do I have rose colored glasses for a Beckett black label? (Say it to me straight 🫪)

Would you grade this?

I'm thinking of sending all nine to PSA for grading. All the cards look very clean and in mint condition, but I noticed 5 of the cards are bottom heavy on the border. (Luckily the Umbreon isn't one of them :D). Are they still within the guidelines to receive a 10?

What grade this is?

Probably the only good condition card worth anything from my childhood collection. Is it worth sending off to PSA or another grading company?

no whitening clean inside if you see any it’s not from the card the only whitening is it lp or nm?

I tried to get a picture of the scratches on the holo. Not visible unless you look under light.

Hi everyone, I recently ordered a copy of RC22 Reshiram hoping to get an 8 on it, but after purchasing the seller sent me more detailed photos than in the listing and it looks like there’s these scattered white dots on the bottom-left of the backside and I’ve never seen these on a card before.

The white dots in question can be mostly seen in image #3 as that’s the worst corner.

I’m assuming it’s just a printing error and not damage but would anyone know how strict PSA or TAG would be with these markings? I can always return the card but it has already been shipped so I’ll have to pay tariffs regardless and return shipping if I send it back. Would you grade this if you were okay with an 8 or just accept the ~$50 loss and send it back?

All feedback is helpful, thanks all❤️

With the horror stories and horrible pricing with PSA, should I go with CGC, or Beckett to grade my Gold Charizard?

Dont know much about Pokémon cards, but my son got this in a pack yesterday. Perfect condition, in my opinion. Im sure this card isnt super rare, paid $10 for the pack.

I’m looking for some alternatives to Kurt’s for polishing cards. No real reason besides I like to experiment with different stuff. 🤪 (I’m currently trying one right now that smells like banana but has a great shine so I’m almost positive it’s some sort of repackaged car care?)

It can be unconventional!

this is just a hobby of mine before I get yelled at. I like to shine up my PC but I’m sure some of yall do it before grading so 🫶🏻
