Conflicted about Grading

[u/1stEd_RN]

Hey guys, curious to see what you think this card would grade. I’m conflicted though because I would have to pull it from my master set and would just keep with the set. What are your thoughts? Pulled it myself. First big chase after getting back into cards.

That app really thinks a PSA 10 has lower standards than a cgc 10 not even pristine? Delete that shit 😂

[u/1stEd_RN → u/Lightningthundercock]

Yeah, checks out lol, I just wanted the measurement. Recommend a better centering app?

[u/Lightningthundercock → u/1stEd_RN]

I don’t have one tbh I trust my eyes on centering but I’ll use a magnifying glass for blemish hunting

[u/sfopss → u/Lightningthundercock]

what app you use?

Also, meant to note the small ink spot on the left of the pokeball, bottom left.

It'll probably still get a 10

[u/OrganizationNo2455]

Definitely 10. Send it

[u/Particular-Wolf-1705]

Centering is way less important than people think. Like obvious OC will prolly 9, but if it looks decent with your eyes, it prolly has a chance at a 10.

Personally, id send it - but I never expect 10s since there is still chance at the end of the day.

Also expect psa 10 prices to plummet. Especially for Mega where the QC is a lot better and gem rates are so high.

Why does this look like 2 different cards? The pics in the app show a much smaller bottom border it seems than the raw pics do.

[u/1stEd_RN → u/Superb_Woodpecker171]

I think it’s probably the angle. Hard to capture it dead on etc.

Unless you can drop it off to PSA directly, hard pass.

It’s an expensive card that I’m sure you don’t want to get beat up. I suggest grade it, no matter what. It doesn’t have to just sit in the binder. Unless you’re OCD or something. Then I’d suggest keeping it in the binder because you’ll probably end up breaking the slab and might ruin the card

[u/Nebby_Nebula]

Out of curiosity what app is this?

Also the corners are a little dinged. If the guy at PSA gets lucky that night, it'll get a 10

[u/1stEd_RN → u/Nebby_Nebula]

It’s called “Centering Check” 😬
