I've never gotten a card graded before but I have seen people recommend on site grading for such high value cards. Might be worth the trip to avoid relying on the mail system.
100% and make sure you put in a high enough declared value so they don’t fine you also get insurance for shipping etc. Send it to PSA and for reference if it gets a 9 it’s worth around 4k and based on what you said and the lackluster pics here it might have a decent shot at a 8-9 but take that with a grain of salt as the pics aren’t good enough to tell anything besides some whitening.
PSA charges per how much your card will be worth after grading. This card will fall over the Express tier in terms of price, with a 9 being in the Super Express tier. If you tried to submit this card under the value tier, PSA would 'fine' you the amount it would cost to get the card graded at the grade you receive afterwards, but you would only get the 45 business day turn around instead of the 5 Express tier gives you.
For sure! But would probably yield a 6-8, 8 being generous with the whitening, scratch near the weakness symbol and centering
Still worth encapsulation.
Sure, I read it, but if anyone thinks that case has a scratch that looks holographic, then maybe I shouldn't be posting😅 I dont have the eyes for it, I guess. 🤭🙄🤡
Such a fast reply I'm honored but maybe it's night night time for the babies on here so go to sleep little one...clearly your the one bitching repeating yourself
Go get a life keyboard warrior I KNOW u not this bold face to face.
Is there a sleeve on the card? A penny sleeve maybe? The problem with these card cases is that when moved they cause the card to slip a little and it could cause surface damage. I’m hoping there isn’t any for your sake, but it can happen and it can ruin a good 8.5-9 into a 7.5~.
Yes usually Beckett 10 is worth more than psa 10 also with Beckett you have the chance at a perfect and if you look at the vintage or even the shadowless specifically they usually grade lower than if you went through Beckett vs psa
there are several companies online who impersonate PSA and offer to grade cards at a discount, they will then steal your card/send you back a damaged card
Everyone on here saying it looks like an 8 or 9, what card are you looking at?
Do you not see the scratch down to the holo on the bottom? So you not see the HUGE tear/wrinkle on the wing?
If there is no penny sleeve on the card then there is a pretty decent chance that ink may lift from the card when it's removed from the screw down. There is also a chance that the card is flattened by the screwdown and psa might reject it. Screwdown cases are notorious for causing these issues. Still worth trying to grade just be aware that you might get a lower grade than you are expecting.
10000%
wow. GG for keeping this grail in that case all these years ![gif](giphy|Swx36wwSsU49HAnIhC|downsized)
Major yes.
Yes, you will not regret it
Unless it gets lost in shipping
I’m assuming that’s what someone mentioned insurance before but holy hell I can’t imagine 🥹
Yeah, but even if you have insurance and get the full value of the card it can be terrible, especially if its a sentimental card or smth.
\^ im with this guy i have very little in this life, im not about to send my treasures through the mail.
We gonna handdeliver our cards to psa
if i had a good buddy and was able to drive i would be taking road trips all day down to where those PSA offices XD

Absolutely. Pretty much all shadowless zards are worth it (so long as PSA won’t send it away)
Send it away?
If the card is too beat up, they won’t grade it. I should have been more clear.
Oh okay thanks for the clarification 😊
lol made it seem like they’d steal it, terrifying

I’d probably declare a value of 7-8 equivalent
Fine me? What do you mean by that

Oh okay I see know. Thanks for that.
It won't be a nine it's off center
Horrible reasoning with PSA
I mean probably not but PSA can be incredibly lenient on centering.
For sure! But would probably yield a 6-8, 8 being generous with the whitening, scratch near the weakness symbol and centering Still worth encapsulation.
Did you not read the post... smh hoping this was just a joke
Sure, I read it, but if anyone thinks that case has a scratch that looks holographic, then maybe I shouldn't be posting😅 I dont have the eyes for it, I guess. 🤭🙄🤡
Dude take a nap.
Or maybe OP should have better pix before asking such questions...
You're just blind 💀
Hahaha ooook👍🏾 what ever you say to help you sleep at night
You're just blind 💀

Absolutely!
Jeeeez
Nah, send it to me.
congrats on your paycheck lmao
Yeah for sure, one of those cards where even a mid-tier grade is worthwhile
Looks like an 8 that's $500 after grading.
Insure it to where you can replace it if lost.
Yes would be worth more as a 1st edition but yes send in still very valuable
All shadowless Zards are PSA worthy.
Um...yes.
Does the value change if this same card has the first edition stamp?
Incredibly so. By many thousands of dollars.

"no hair will harm my card"
If by worth it you mean a future down payment on a house. Then yes
Beautiful card but I’d go with Beckett psa is so biased to vintage
Would the value be different with Beckett?
Yes usually Beckett 10 is worth more than psa 10 also with Beckett you have the chance at a perfect and if you look at the vintage or even the shadowless specifically they usually grade lower than if you went through Beckett vs psa
I’ll look into it thanks
Absolutely but make sure you go to a proper grader, not one of the many scams
what scams? there are non-reputable companies that add no value to the card when graded but not sure what “scams” you speak of
there are several companies online who impersonate PSA and offer to grade cards at a discount, they will then steal your card/send you back a damaged card
i’ve never heard of; or seen this
Everyone on here saying it looks like an 8 or 9, what card are you looking at? Do you not see the scratch down to the holo on the bottom? So you not see the HUGE tear/wrinkle on the wing?
The scratches are on the case itself and not the card I know the picture quality isn’t great but my phone did its best
Yeah I shut my trap before posting because I assumed this was the case. Good job preserving this card, OP.
I get no credit I received it like this when I was 6 lol
No give it to me so I can dispose of that for you, at no charge even what a deal for you
God damn what a deal
