    Thanks for defining those scratches around a 7, been trying to find good examples of what a grade looks like without a case on it. As I have been recollecting singles NM and have been intrigued by grading some of the finer cards I find.

    I've had plenty of luck just using regular top loaders with penny sleeves. Using card savers you have a higher chance of bending the card. I've gotten plenty of cards grade 10 using my method.

    Keep in mind PSA has strict standards for centering. On the front they allow for less of a centering error 45-55. While the back can be up to 75/25. Just because the centering is off disent mean it still can’t be a 10.

    • @GoldenEdgedGreg

      They will also allow one whitened back corner, but this is the important part, not both at the same time, that’s a 9

    Hey man! I got a 2003 Pokemon Skyridge Crystal Charizard Holo 146/144. The card seems visually flawless except for it's tiny 1 degree curvature, due to the way it was stored for the last ten years. There are no scratches or white borders on either side of the card. Should I get it graded? The prices for it seem to go through the roof right now.
    I'm from Germany and I'm not quite sure what kind of packaging or shipping service I should go for, escpecially since I don't have any other cards that seem to be worth grading.

Have you heard from friends or ppl online if international shipping was really expensive? I want to start getting cards graded but if PSA international shipping is ridiculously expensive I probably won't do it but they're what everyone uses to grade cards so the cards will probably be moe value in the long run 🤔

    It's a EVOLUTIONS Charizard just like you have, how ever..The cards face has a immensely prominent Foil error all over which makes it look beautiful. It also haves very small white spots on the back and the print there is slightly off-center
    Btw, the card went straight to the penny sleeve and in a plastic case that's not very bendable. So I'm wondering if I should send it in..
