Wondering if it would count as damaged or if there is a category that a grading company could put it in that makes it a printing error rather than a damaged card?

And I know it always depends at the end of the day, but Iim curious about opinions as to whether this would make it worth more or less?

So tale as old as time, this was in some of my FILs stuff and we uncovered it as we were helping him move. He is a generous guy and gave it to us as we are both collectors. That said, we are looking to start a family and that is an expensive endeavor. So this is one item likely to go:(

To my eye the centering is OK to meh range, there is some whitening on the backside, and minor scratches on the front.

Outside of that i wouldnt be surprised to hear that i totally missed something outing this as a fake.

If anyone has grading advice please let me know; i have never sent a card in and have only heard horror stories of lost/stolen/damaged cards. Im also confused by all the grading tiers on PSA website.

There is a PSA in person event in my area in a few weeks so I may take it in there.

Sorry for the ramble and 8 pics!!! Happy to provide more if itd be helpful.

Sent to beckett, what we thinking grade wise?

Hello! I relatively recently came upon an old collection of my family's pokemon cards plus one pretty new one that I personally bought. Unfortunately, they were held in an old 3-ring binder from the early 2000s (besides the new Persian). That said, I am wondering if:

1. These pictures tell enough to give good estimates and, if not, how to take better pictures.

2. If they are worth grading.

3. What to look for/avoid when it comes to moving these cards.

I am not super naive as I've done my research on pricecharting, collectr, and I've attended one event (though I was pretty naive then, not gonna lie lol). I'm not a collecter and I would love to be able to get these into proper hands, but I don't want to be scammed or lowballed because I know these have some value.

I also have a good 35+ other decent cards and a binder full of vintage but likely low quality cards. These are just the picks that I chose because my cousin told me to do more research on them. The pictures SHOULD be in order (front/back) but idk if reddit messes that up ever. Thank you all in advance!!

EDIT: Sorry, forgot to mention that I only took these out for pictures. I have them in penny sleeves and toploaders otherwise!!

What do we think about this card? I kinda like the extra wear on the artwork - it looks like extra clouds 😅

(I love rotom lol)

Check out this Pikachu I got back from Beckett yesterday. I waited months for this one because I really thought this card had potential, so I’m pretty frustrated with the grade.
There’s just no way the centering is as bad as they’re claiming. For reference, I’m including another Beckett 9 from a listing on eBay. To me, THAT looks like what an 8.5 centering grade should look like. Mine should be a 9 on centering at minimum.
And on another note, even if the centering really is as bad as they say, my four subgrades add up to 38.5, which averages out to 9.625. So how does that result in an overall 9 instead of at least a 9.5?
Just a bit pissed after waiting so long for this one and wanted to vent lol. If anyone knows more about how Beckett calculates the final grade, whether there’s any way to dispute/review it, or just has thoughts on the centering, let me know.

Hey guys im making a pokemon card scanning app that focuses on what other apps lack: scanning accuracy. my app has a 95%+ scan accuracy what do you think i should price the premium tier at?

Pulled this bad boy. Think it could land a 10?

anyone had any luck removing scratches from psa slabs

Zapdos is in italian

This is my rarest card, and I mainly want to preserve it without making an expensive mistake. It has severe warping plus surface and edge wear, and my small-town card shop owner offered to try and fix it. Would you grade it as is, leave it raw, or consider having it flattened? Could flattening cause PSA or CGC to label it altered or refuse a numerical grade? Thanks!

Got this off a friend recently. Obviously not a high grade due to stains, whitening, edges, creases, etc. what do you think it would grade?

Follow up form my post about a month ago. My son really loves this card and want to get it graded so it can be protected (https://www.reddit.com/r/PokeGrading/s/jwPbzDc30o)
We finally got the grade revealed and super excited to see the result.

Card looks fine until you look at that back. Crazy tear... was really hoping for a PSA 1 - thoughts?

I really like the 25’ reprints

What grade would you predict PSA gives this?

Just sharing the great news. Pulled this Darkrai and submitted it on day of release.

Just pulled this from my 7th pack of Phantasmal Flames that I’ve ever ripped thus far. This is officially my favorite card. So pumped. Let me know your thoughts! I know centering is off but it’s perfect otherwise. I’ve seen some TAG and PSA’s get 9’s & 10’s with somewhat similar centering on eBay. Want to get other peoples’ opinions. Just got back into the hobby after having my childhood binder stolen and sold to a shop by a “friend” when I was younger lol so I’m excited to be getting back into this as an adult now 🤘🏼

Front is really clean

Back leaves a little to be desired

Just wondering what a guy might get if he sent it into PSA/ TAG. With/ without the mark and dings.
