      My mom got me a whole base set booster box for my 6th birthday in 1999, I was so excited when I picked it out. But before my birthday I got in huge trouble in school and my mom took the box away and didn't give it to me on my birthday. She still kept it to surprise me with later on, but right after my birthday my parents announced they were getting divorced, and somehow the booster box got lost during the chaos while my mom sister and I moved out of our house. So someone somewhere found a sealed base set box that was supposed to be mine!!! 😢😢😢 didn't even know she kept it until a couple years ago when I mentioned in passing just how much those boxes go for these days.

      10 is perfect, 9 has some issues so a perfect card no blemishes are kinda difficult to get because even straight from the pack it could be off-center, scratched, corners damaged etc. It can also depend on which card it is, some cards (mostly older) only have 5 cards in a PSA10 but 300+ in a PSA9 so the PSA10 is going to be more valuable as there's only a few.

    • @addisontop
      @addisontop 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Sometimes cards are really hard to get 10’s. a lot of the time the price is dependant on how many exist in a that grade and not necessarily the grade itself. For example first gen Chansey is almost all holo and not much picture. Which led to a ton of fresh pulls with print lines in the foil. So very little chansey exist in a 10. But there are tons of 9’s and most fresh pulls are 9’s

    • @Dilemma009
      @Dilemma009 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Because they won't let you have the 10 in some cards lol. Rather it feels like population control or really hard grading, so when you do it, it goes up.
      Also the cost of business. Getting the idea that Raw cards, fee, shipping, insurance. If 10's didn't offer a premium, their wouldn't be a market to make money in.
      of course 200 vs 1k can be look at as absurd.
      Perfect example is this video. He said after everything hes at $600, now he has to spend time selling 100 cards, 13% fees on each sale (shipping let the buyer take the hit) but then you overall is lower so thats a wash.
      You lost another 100-200 there

      Unfortunately most card shops will only give you about 50% of the card's value in cash. Then they turn around and list them online to sell at full price. I am good friends with a few card shop owners and they make the majority of their profit doing this. The margins on sealed product is really slim so they rely on buying/selling cards like these.

Shipping for these can range from 3-7$ plus the shipping materials.

    Reason zard got a 9 is probably something that is beyond the naked eye meaning a scope is needed to see surface area. Even a slight miscut on the edge can cause a 9 grade it all rides on who the grader is and the attention to detail given as well as their interpretation of the grading scale. One grader’s eyes see a 9 where the next grader could justify a 10.

    Question? Did you clean the older cards or any of them before you sent them in? Only asking because PSA is known for grading older cards tough because of them not being very clean. I even did a little test and sent in my old og Venusaur from base set without cleaning got a 7 and then cleaning it and resgrading and it got a 9. They really hit u bad if they aren’t clean.

      Same goes for checking surface front and back. Buddy of mine knows nothing about grading and just sent cards in, then he was shocked when he got low grades. He asked me to look and see why and under normal light with no magnification I could see surface scratches everywhere.

    That’s why it’s bad to trust PSA with Pokemon cards. AGS is the perfect place you shoulda sent them to. At least the AI woulda gave you way better grades than a 4. That Venusaur shoulda been a solid 8 or 9.

    I knew someone who had a mint un-opened, untouched and sealed (OCD person, usually bought 2, did it to alot of their collectables) SNES game, the only time i would have seen air in 30 years since it was picked up at the store, was at its grading. It got a 7/10. When queried, the corners of the box were "frayed", and by frayed, you needed a microscope to see that the corners of the box were not glued (or the glue had faded/deteriorated) and tiny tiny flaps had formed.
    It was sealed for over 30 years. How can you grade something higher that has been sat in a dusty attic for 2 decades.
    Fuck grading companies, plenty of evidence and testing that its all a rigged scam for the companies.
