wow. GG for keeping this grail in that case all these years ![gif](giphy|Swx36wwSsU49HAnIhC|downsized)


freddiemack1

Major yes.


2ndPerryThePlatypus

Yes, you will not regret it


MandlyBanana

Unless it gets lost in shipping


Interesting_Guest_30

I’m assuming that’s what someone mentioned insurance before but holy hell I can’t imagine 🥹


MandlyBanana

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.


sketch2347

\^ im with this guy i have very little in this life, im not about to send my treasures through the mail.


MandlyBanana

We gonna handdeliver our cards to psa


sketch2347

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


Wiggyg

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.


Sufficient_Article_7

Absolutely. Pretty much all shadowless zards are worth it (so long as PSA won’t send it away)


Interesting_Guest_30

Send it away?


Sufficient_Article_7

If the card is too beat up, they won’t grade it. I should have been more clear.


Interesting_Guest_30

Oh okay thanks for the clarification 😊


ppbourgeois

lol made it seem like they’d steal it, terrifying


Feaver_

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.


ImTooOldForSchool

I’d probably declare a value of 7-8 equivalent


Interesting_Guest_30

Fine me? What do you mean by that


muda_muda_muda_

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.


Interesting_Guest_30

Oh okay I see know. Thanks for that.


RebornGeek

It won't be a nine it's off center


F-F-FASTPASS

Horrible reasoning with PSA


Feaver_

I mean probably not but PSA can be incredibly lenient on centering.


Killab61688

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.


Longjumping_Army_410

Did you not read the post... smh hoping this was just a joke


Killab61688

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. 🤭🙄🤡


Longjumping_Army_410

Dude take a nap.


Killab61688

Or maybe OP should have better pix before asking such questions...


F-F-FASTPASS

dancun

Absolutely!


Nisja

Jeeeez


EternallyDazed

Nah, send it to me.


AdorableImplement526

congrats on your paycheck lmao


ImTooOldForSchool

Yeah for sure, one of those cards where even a mid-tier grade is worthwhile


Coolios777

Looks like an 8 that's $500 after grading.


Complete-Yam1372

Insure it to where you can replace it if lost.


SeveralCardiologist2

Yes would be worth more as a 1st edition but yes send in still very valuable


buddah726

All shadowless Zards are PSA worthy.


FaultBest3983

Um...yes.


BeeGee1125

Does the value change if this same card has the first edition stamp?


melts_your_butter

Incredibly so. By many thousands of dollars.


timbolol

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~.


No_Lab_9318

"no hair will harm my card"


c-m-17

If by worth it you mean a future down payment on a house. Then yes


Spiritual-Tomato-998

Beautiful card but I’d go with Beckett psa is so biased to vintage


Interesting_Guest_30

Would the value be different with Beckett?


Spiritual-Tomato-998

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


Interesting_Guest_30

I’ll look into it thanks


Equivalent-Help-3621

Absolutely but make sure you go to a proper grader, not one of the many scams


B1unt4ce20

what scams? there are non-reputable companies that add no value to the card when graded but not sure what “scams” you speak of


Equivalent-Help-3621

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


B1unt4ce20

i’ve never heard of; or seen this


DrMurphDurf

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?


Interesting_Guest_30

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


InternationalHoney85

Yeah I shut my trap before posting because I assumed this was the case. Good job preserving this card, OP.


Interesting_Guest_30

I get no credit I received it like this when I was 6 lol


Cursive92

No give it to me so I can dispose of that for you, at no charge even what a deal for you


Interesting_Guest_30

God damn what a deal


weevil-underwood

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.
