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.
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.
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.
thank you for this. I still have my first edition charizard that i got back in 99' while at the mall... one of the most memorable moments in my life LOL
@@diabloiii9766 yeah because it’s 2001 base set came out in 1999, by 2001 base set was probably discontinued making the charizard around $75 like you said
thanks rhyme. ive been waiting to find a good short informative video about psa submissions. hopefully some of my cards in my top loaders will get good grades.
i've got a first edition holo blastoise... some whitening on the back edges. i still think it may be worth it to get graded, if not for anything, just my curiosity!
Wow, now compare the price of this 20$ regular evolution Charizard that isn't first edition but has a PSA of 9 to that same exact cards value today?. So crazy... Not even going to say how the value of a first edition Charizard with a PSA of 10 being at 200-500$ compared to today's hundreds of thousands of dollars to close to a million is insane and makes this video rite here very fun to watch. This guy is probably balling rite now and so financially well off because of this if he didn't sell it for 200$ and 20$ lol. Because if he did I would feel so bad for the guy.
My older brother baught me like 7 evolutions packs for my birthday in 2016 and i opened all of them. I wish i saved atleast 3 but i did get the charizard its only like 6-7 tho
I'm actually so lucky, I sent my Gardivoir and MGardivoir and both came back as 10! I wanted to send it in because Gardivoir and Blaziken are my favourite pokemon, so now I can flex while admiring my favourite pokemon
they do, prices have skyrocket since a lot of people got interested again in TCG collection due to all the media coverage it have receive, last time i checked a heavely played charizard from base set cost 400$ not graded.
I was collecting pokemon cards back in 98 and 99 and i put them all in sleeves in a binder. They are sitting in storage somewhere. I remember having 1st editions. Theyve never been touched except once. I wonder how much my cards are worth now
Could u make a video with instructions with like how to track your cards, internationally, make sure you don’t mess up the sending in process so your cards dont get lost,...
My uncle actually has a cgc 10 first edition shadowless Charizard that he got waaaay back in 1996! It was put in this special plaque and is on his shelf in his room to this day. He won't let anyone touch it, not even my aunt
Do you also use a little slip on the penny sleeve to easily pull the cards out of the card saver? I've seen other TH-camrs who grade Pokémon cards use them
Thanks for the help; video helped me 5 years later from when you made it. Question unrelated, did you freak out owning those Charizard graded cards when TCG blew up in 2020-2021? Thanks!
I just pulled a Secret Rare Counter Energy from a Crimson Invasion pre-release event and wanted to get it graded it has not been played and went straight from pack to sleeve to card saver would this be worth getting graded?
ColeCreatedContent Oh awesome! Maybe check what graded prices are vs non graded. probably worth grading though if you think it’ll get a 7 maybe 6 if you’re trying to resell. Best of luck
Been wanting to send my cards in for a long time. Im fearful that so.ething will go wrong or they will get lost in the mail. Ive had the 1st edition starters base set and 1st edition lugia in a binder since release. Great video by the way
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. Best regards, Fabi
Didn’t even realise that I stumbled upon one of your video, what’s going on my super sandwiches 🥪 oh my god how refreshing that felt to hear haha. Cheers rhymstyle
Thanks Rhyme i found a couple books of cards under a bed (about 20 years old) this helps out a lot. have a bunch of holo and 1st editions that I need to take closer looks to see if they would be worth grading as grading prices have gone up
i came here to like vid and drop a comment to support my homie rhyme not big into pkm anymore i played the card game for a while tho was fun i recommend it but yea gotta drop that like on vid #clamps i will make clamps a meme xd
Great video! Learned a lot. Came across a Charizard 1st edition and it looks a bit like your Moltress. Almost flawless, but some white on the right corner of the backside. Worth to get graded?
I definitely need to figure how to get mine graded, i still got the Ancient Powers Box from XY with Firefist in it. Many other cards from fate collide and battle arean
I got a 1st edition charizard that isn't a 10 or 9 It has slight scratches from left to right only on the holo like they're factory scratches light.... I'm getting that card graded.... sometimes the vintage of the card puts value enough for one to just grade the card even if you know it's not a 10 you know it's still has a lot of worth.
I got the charizard card with 200 dmg at Nintendo New York by getting a Scizor pack. I thought it was some charizard with is strong, but I realized it was pretty shiny and knew it was rare..?
I have an important question, if u send them an unopened/still sealed Ancient Mew, would they open the packaging & send it back in their case? Cuz unless it's opened, you cant see the front of the card
Lol I have a 1st edition shadowless charizard... still sitting in the penny sleeve. Want to buy it? I dug my big box of cards out of my moms attic a month ago. Going to get a few graded. They are all shadowless/first edition. Should be interesting.
absolutely. Even PSA 1-5 will have a market for buyers. Wait till when PSA is not backed up and send the cards in for $10 a card. You will make a profit on every card more or less, hold for the long term and you will make even more.
so i have a x&y holo charzard. Obviously im not a professional and my view can also go so far but in my eyes, its centering is good it has no scratches but it has a little white in the corner. Should i send it in? I'm aware its not going to be a perfect 10 so thats why I'm not too sure?
** dude crazy thing is... The Kangashan u just showed in the 1st 25sec. mine is the same way lol.. i mean hey its 20yrs old ....and it broke my heart last night when i found out 1 sold for almost $950 😩😩😩😩
"Let see why this charizard got a 10 and this one got a 9" *flip both charizard xy evolutions* realize there is literally no difference, proceed to change subject. I love it
Really awesome video! I know PSA is an American company and that they're probably the most recognized card grading company in the world. 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 🤔
In short if you’re cards are worth less than 50 bucks ungraded might as well keep them double sleeved since the whole process of sending them waiting and paying all the fees and membership to have a card graded will quickly surpass the value of the card itself, and nobody is gonna shell out 200 bucks for a konomo-o psa gem mint 10.
I have a never used still in plastic original charzard I know it’s psa 10 I’ve never used it’s it’s in plastic that’s in more plastic. These are going for over 200k why would I send it in mail I’m so confused
can you make a video of when your pokémon card is the thing is going off on the front the picture whatever it is like from the bottom to the top how do you fix it cuz my ancient mew is is doing the same thing so do that so I can please fix it please please please
Lets talk 1st prints or 1st series. Or whatever its called. Does that only pretain to pokemon cards? And how to do even buy those when they come out in stores? Can you tell by looking at a box if its 1st printing before you buy?
When 3 years later that Evolutions charizard PSA 10 is worth 2k lol
Now 100k lol
@@patrickbruno1187 wtf???? really???
@@ZayxYT no Lmao. Not the evolutions Charizard he is confused. He is thinking of first edition shadowless most likely
@@ZayxYT yea logan just bought one for 150
@@patrickbruno1187 that was the first edition shadowless, evolutions was released on 2016 which was a reprint
Why do I keep clicking these... I don't even collect cards....
Coz Psa first edition shadowless charizard = 5k - 50k prodit
Same lol
You need to started
Same here too
I feel you brother . Same here at 30 years old
the Mint 9 Charizard that he compares to the Gem MT 10 Charizard, the Mint 9 one looks like the red has a deeper color.. or am I seeing things?

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

Sending in a 1999 Shadowless Charizard to PSA today. Was going to send it in a hardshell case, but your video has convinced me otherwise! Thank you!
What did it come back as?
Inquiring minds would like to know the grade you got! Please tell us
Thank you. I've been curious about PSA grading and getting some of my cards graded. I'm excited to send my first batch in! :)
That feeling when Charizard used to be $20...... we are ALL wishing for a time machine rn
lmao ikr
Ikr
In 2001’ charizard wouldn’t sell for less than $75. So I don’t know what year you’re speaking on.
@@diabloiii9766 yeah because it’s 2001 base set came out in 1999, by 2001 base set was probably discontinued making the charizard around $75 like you said
Yeah- I pulled a reverse and a holo, both traded away🙂🔫
yo!!! that video like that dark riachu was fire!!! never knew the extent that they go through when grading cards. thanks for the info!!!
Yeah they dig into every bit of it
Very informative, been considering doing PSA grading but I don't think any of my cards have the potential as a perfect 10. Some day maybe
Get your favorite card
7, 8 and 9s are still worth something
I have so many rare cards I don’t know how to get them graded I don’t trust anyone
I’m in the same boat
I have almost 200 graded cards lmao
I have a few rare ones so I gues I'm in somewhat of a situation as you
thanks rhyme. ive been waiting to find a good short informative video about psa submissions. hopefully some of my cards in my top loaders will get good grades.
Remember, get card savers. Do not send those cards in via top-loaders. They will get damaged in the process.
Damn that charizard on top middle at 10:42 is savage bro!!!!!!
Thanks man! I always had a hard time recognising exact card conditions, you made the process more than clear.
Can you make a video on actual making an account or however it works?
Yeah no one has done that
That would be helpful
Hey thank you so much for making a video on this! Certainly explains a lot about the process.
I have a raichu 1st edicion 14/102 in good condition that i saw that was worth 40 000 is it realy worth that much
When I want to grade 15 cards on regular they making me pay 750 plus taxes. So I don't know what I m doing worng
i've got a first edition holo blastoise... some whitening on the back edges. i still think it may be worth it to get graded, if not for anything, just my curiosity!
Guys be careful when you send the cards to get them graded.Many people are losing their card when they shipped them.
Is it just going missing in the post or something?
When they send it back to you, do they send you like a checklist as to why you dont get a 10?
betlogboy3 yes
No. Just the score.
@@hoblino bummer.. so you really have to know your stuff the before sending it off.
Wow, now compare the price of this 20$ regular evolution Charizard that isn't first edition but has a PSA of 9 to that same exact cards value today?. So crazy...

Hey I have a whole binder of pokemon cards but I don't think I can buy the savers so how do I ship? If I have a binder.
My older brother baught me like 7 evolutions packs for my birthday in 2016 and i opened all of them. I wish i saved atleast 3 but i did get the charizard its only like 6-7 tho
I'm fighting fiercely at god speed
You should totally get that Kangaskhan graded.
LMFAO. It would be funny actually.
Probably would come back as an 11.
I'm actually so lucky, I sent my Gardivoir and MGardivoir and both came back as 10! I wanted to send it in because Gardivoir and Blaziken are my favourite pokemon, so now I can flex while admiring my favourite pokemon
I disagree, he seems to hint to only send them in for a 9 or 10 but 7 and 8 can be worth alot also
they do, prices have skyrocket since a lot of people got interested again in TCG collection due to all the media coverage it have receive, last time i checked a heavely played charizard from base set cost 400$ not graded.
What are the checks and balances when it comes to not getting your mailed in cards replaced with lesser grades? Who would know?
I wanna get my first edition shadowless Gastly, haunter and my 1st edition Gengar all graded.
I was collecting pokemon cards back in 98 and 99 and i put them all in sleeves in a binder. They are sitting in storage somewhere. I remember having 1st editions. Theyve never been touched except once. I wonder how much my cards are worth now
Bro thank you for this info and I love that dark riachu 🔥🔥🔥😉😉😉
i got holo reverse charizard and another one with just the picture being holo but idk if its worth sending in even after this video 😂
Could u make a video with instructions with like how to track your cards, internationally, make sure you don’t mess up the sending in process so your cards dont get lost,...
I just found one 10 in my room but it wasnt graded it is perfect should i send it in
My uncle actually has a cgc 10 first edition shadowless Charizard that he got waaaay back in 1996! It was put in this special plaque and is on his shelf in his room to this day. He won't let anyone touch it, not even my aunt
Wouldn't a graded psa 7 card be worth more than a non graded psa 7?
Do you also use a little slip on the penny sleeve to easily pull the cards out of the card saver? I've seen other TH-camrs who grade Pokémon cards use them
You can! I normally leave a piece of the penny sleeve exposed so it's easy to pull them out
Thanks for the help; video helped me 5 years later from when you made it. Question unrelated, did you freak out owning those Charizard graded cards when TCG blew up in 2020-2021? Thanks!
Could PSA potentially swap your 10 Charizard for a lesser without you knowing?
what do they do with the sleeves and card savers...
I just pulled a Secret Rare Counter Energy from a Crimson Invasion pre-release event and wanted to get it graded it has not been played and went straight from pack to sleeve to card saver would this be worth getting graded?
When that psa 10 pokemon card is now worth more than 100k
Should you get one graded if it has 3 tiny dents on the edge and corners
depends. if it’s high value then maybe. look at examples of high grades
Scott Walter yeah it’s a 1996 team rocket blastiose so it goes for about 500-800$
ColeCreatedContent Oh awesome! Maybe check what graded prices are vs non graded. probably worth grading though if you think it’ll get a 7 maybe 6 if you’re trying to resell. Best of luck
How much is it to get a card graded and why is the price diff. If thier only job is to grade non bias?
Thank you for sharing this information. Very informative
Been wanting to send my cards in for a long time. Im fearful that so.ething will go wrong or they will get lost in the mail. Ive had the 1st edition starters base set and 1st edition lugia in a binder since release. Great video by the way
does anybody have a link for the card savers used in the video?
Yeah I opened a jungle pack for the first time and got a holo pidgeot I kinda eant to grade it cause I think its cool so grade isnt to important
Yes! Definitely do it!
I was thinking how do they grade them! Thank you for the video! 🔥

Centering and whitening probably, they have their grading criteria on their site
I just pulled a rainbow charizard an immediately put it into a sleeve and into a safe place should I grade it?
Thanks bro, it'll surely help in the future
Perhaps you could give n estimate of what the prices actually are. And also best practices for handling cards...
I have an important question, if u send them an unopened/still sealed Ancient Mew, would they open the packaging & send it back in their case? Cuz unless it's opened, you cant see the front of the card
Is a top loader ok to use instead of the thing you put your card in?

The tail on that raichu is suppose to be like that from legendary collection
I opened my packs and they all got a natural bend in it. Do the cards need to be perfectly straight?
I open a pack today the edges of the card Is damaged. I thing the way they cut it my hoke booster box all card and holos were edges are damaged 💔 😢
thx for the information 😀 I also brought a lycanroc gx box yesterday and got garbage pulls out of the packs 😦
Should I get what I think is a PSA 10 Rayquaza rainbow rare graded
that helps allot because ive got a card that i might want to get graded but im not quite sure if i should get it graded or not
This video needs to be updated given the current market. Even getting PSA 7-9 for certain cards will definitely cover cost of grading.
absolutely. Even PSA 1-5 will have a market for buyers. Wait till when PSA is not backed up and send the cards in for $10 a card. You will make a profit on every card more or less, hold for the long term and you will make even more.
thx rhyme I needed this
So i had a Typhlosion ex from the unseen forces set. It was worth 2.3k dollars at spa 10. Sadly it isn’t in a great condition

"Let see why this charizard got a 10 and this one got a 9" *flip both charizard xy evolutions* realize there is literally no difference, proceed to change subject. I love it
So basically. Make sure you buy 1st editions. Then wear rubber gloves. Then open packs and put straight into a top loader? And pray
exactly!

International shipping shouldnt be too expensive, but depending on the card(s) you send in, it could be worth it
In short if you’re cards are worth less than 50 bucks ungraded might as well keep them double sleeved since the whole process of sending them waiting and paying all the fees and membership to have a card graded will quickly surpass the value of the card itself, and nobody is gonna shell out 200 bucks for a konomo-o psa gem mint 10.
