    Beautiful collection. Gotta love the passion with Pokémon. I am a big umbreon so I would love to add the yunagaba umbreon to my collection. I don’t have anything graded I am just happy with collecting. I do have a Charizard for celebrations that I would grade. Once I get the moon umbreon I will grade that as well. Great video.

    Centering is perhaps the only thing about grading that we can be certain of. Any other defects that are visible to the naked eye we can also catch but anything else is really up to the grader. I personally prefer bgs slabs so I normally grade with them but if I’m certain that the card won’t get a bgs 10 y go with PSA since they are less harsh to grade.

    • @spian
      @spian 7 місяців тому

    I’m brand new to this and have a couple of questions. Your opinion would be very helpful. I want to send in my Shadow Mewtwo Amiibo card to get graded by either PSA or CGC. The thing is it’s sealed in the original plastic it came in. The cards condition is mint. Now my question is should I send it as is (likely with signs of minor finger prints on the plastic), or take it out of the seal and send it out raw (incased carefully in something else). I want really want to go for that perfect 10 grading. What would you do?

Out of curiosity, how do you ship your cards to psa… and then how do you return ship? the psa fedex insured option is expensive and adds up quick!
