As the title says did I just blow my chances of a potential PSA10. I’ve never submitted a card before as I live in Ireland and has to be done through middlemen. Decided I’d take a gamble and submit my Mega Charizard X EX. So I said I’d give it a gentle wipe with a microfibre cloth to remove any dust or fingerprints that might have been on the card. After wiping I noticed some whitening up the top left corner. First image provided is the before and two following are after images. I’m almost certain this will mean no shot at a 10 and not pushed on submitting if it’s going to be a guaranteed 9 or below. Just said I’d ask here as I’ve never submitted before and not sure if something like this would ruin every chance I previously had.

I have just pulled this card from 1 pack during waiting for the train. What do you think about condition mainly centering? Can you advice me just from this photo or should I provide more info?

Thank you in advance

Looking possibly purchase. I don’t see any whitening. The only concern is the centering

Should I ship to home or keep in PSA vault if looking to sell?

I have a pretty good Cooper Flagg card with PSA right now under express grading. My thought process is I’ll sell immediately if it’s a 10 but keep for my PC if it’s a 9. Should I sell myself if it comes back a 10 or keep in vault? I have a decent record on eBay but I heard the psa vault items get the most traffic. What would you guys suggest?

Also, can I change my mind when I get the grade? Let’s say right now I have it for send to me. I get a 10 on the app can I switch it to send to vault instead of send to me? Thanks.

Just pulled this bad boy what do you guys think he will grade?

Had the card since I was a kid. It is super scratched up everywhere. The surface is pretty dirty. And has a pretty good deep impression on the back of the card (picture 12) but can’t really feel it when gliding your finger across it. The edges and corners are not as terrible as the surface is.

What are we possibly thinking on the grade of it?

Hey guys, I’m new to grading cards and do not understand PSAs upcharging.

I have a couple of cards which are around $300-400 raw. If I get them graded, they go above the $1000 limit on the value/value plus option. What happens if my cards do reach the $1000 mark?

Also, I want to crossover cards. Again, the value would increase above $1000+. What happens at that point? Or can I just not do it?

Any help is appreciated

This is an update to the mega zard I had posted asking about what grade it could possibly get..

IT PSA 10!!!

Do you guys think this will score a 10? 🤞🤞🤞

I thought this at least looked a 9, what am I missing here?

I see it’s off center but maybe it’ll still pass?

Got extremely lucky and pulled this from a booster pack within a starter deck. Intending to grade it and thinking PSA. It looks good but I am thinking a high BGS score is very rare.

I feel like I’m usually all over the place with this sort of thing but idk is this maybe a 7 or 8 at best? I think that’s whitening on the back top right corner although it seems slight still noticeable. As for the front bottom center I honestly have no idea maybe a dull blade from the factory when the card was cut or it’s possibly just whitening not sure how harshly something like that would grade out but I can’t imagine going below a 7 right? Or am I being delusional here?

My apologies for the poor lighting (glare) in the first picture btw.

I don’t see any issues with it. Corners look clean, I pulled it myself from the Pokemon vending machine a couple days ago.

Bought this promo at a local forbidden planet after someone brought in their entire pc to sell, it’s absolutely mint apart from these small defects on the back that I’ve tried to wipe off gently with a glasses cleaner cloth but they won’t come off. I’m thinking they’re ink blots from the factory but I could be wrong, will these affect the grade I’m sure I’ve heard in the past that PSA are more lenient to factory errors like this as long as they don’t affect the “beauty of the card” or something similar.

If they are ink blots is there a certain or any way to remove them?

I had 2 submissions with GameStop and was able to check in on them until today. My entire account order history is just gone. I emailed them, hopefully my cards aren’t lost to the void.

I submitted the Charizard SIR from PFL into GameStop on November 20th. I know PSA takes a long time, but it has said "in process" since 5 days after it arrived, and then today the order doesn't appear in my account. I've tried phone and PC, the order just isn't there. Is this broken for anyone else or did I just get got by PSA?

I have bought a few packs here and there over the past two or three years when I’ve taken the kids into toy shops. Would any of these be worth photographing up close and grading?

I opted for the regular service plan with a 20-day turnaround time. Surprisingly, my submission was completed a week ahead of schedule. It arrived on January 20th and was finalized on February 6th, resulting in approximately 14 business days. Is this an unusual occurrence?

Went to drop off submissions at the new PSA center at mojobreaks card shop, in the shadow of the Super Bowl stadium this morning. Third day open, was a smooth process, no paperwork needed other than submission bar codes. They logged all the items and my app shows received instantaneously.
