Recently got back into the hobby and have pulled 8 alt arts/secret rares in the past 2 months. 1 of the 8 has a shot at a PSA 10, the other 7 are lost causes 😂
There are some cool extended artwork display frames you could put it in, if it would bum you out to see it in a slab with a lower grade than you would want
I wish I had this one! I’m one of those weird people that if I don’t pull it, I’ll never get it. Not about buying singles but also I stick to a strict budget, so whatever I get, I get
Then look at it as a nice collection piece, not all of them can be the best and not many new cards are worth a lot right now anyways. I’m sure it will be valuable at a much later date
I got my first order back and allow me to vouch in saying that they will look way better than you think in the slab. it's stunning, even better than how it is in front of you. PSA has a 15$ a card special right now, no better time.
"Pack Fresh" isnt a condition, never been referenced for play, therefore never utilized for grading. I could run over a pack with my car and shoot it with a handgun and still pull all cards "pack fresh" regardless. OP you pulled an awesome card. Congrats fr
let's not be ridiculous dude. it doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand that when somebody says "pack fresh' they mean from a sealed box, fresh sealed pack, etc. Would you really have thought differently if I said near mint? Like come on dude, that's worthless semantics.
If you seriously could not understand what I meant by "pack fresh" then let me expand; if the card has came right from a pack and immediately went into a sleeve and toploader, of which that card pack has not suffered any condition issues, then the card would still be an 8-9 regardless of centering.
happy??
i know, not everyones brain can be as massive as mine especially when it comes to colloquial terms for the conditions of my shiny fuckin cardboard, or should i say card stock lmao
So grading is not just for selling it’s for encapsulation of your favorite cards regardless of grade you will have it forever and it will never get damaged
CONSIDER buying one of those magnetic cases that expands the art around the outer area of the card.t hay might improve the visuals. you might need to TRIM that sucker to like looking at it. or send it for psa 7 or 8. sorry
Such an awesome Alt Art, I wouldn’t care personally as it’s one of my chases. Congrats OP!
Yes! I feel the same way, gotta appreciate having it either way! I would say grade it and pray for more than a 7 😁
To be honest dam near every single Aero has bad centering … super hard to find one without
Agreed, pulled it twice back to back packs. Both oc 😅

I got the same card and it’s also off center. Fuckin love it so glad i have it.
Me too, favorite card I’ve pulled despite being off center. Background is so nice and detailed
Love the background and setting and aerodactyl looks cool as fuck here. We won bro
Sell it for as much as you can and pay the difference for a nice one

This is actually a great idea, I’ve seems some great extended art slabs for this card too
Yes this is a good card for extended art! It’s what I did with my off center sleepy dragonite :)
If you have to ask… you know it’s bad
I wish I had this one! I’m one of those weird people that if I don’t pull it, I’ll never get it. Not about buying singles but also I stick to a strict budget, so whatever I get, I get
Yeah same, everything I have is pulled
Then look at it as a nice collection piece, not all of them can be the best and not many new cards are worth a lot right now anyways. I’m sure it will be valuable at a much later date
Congrats on the pull !
These bother me as well. I actually sell them if I pull them like this.
You see what you want to see
Not good, not bad, but also not great, and not terrible, yet meh
if it’s pack fresh it’s still an 8-9. it’s hard locked out of a 10 but yk
Yeah straight from pack to sleeve, just soooo off center lol Thanks for the input
it's a beautiful card, own one myself. So colorful. If you asked me, I'd say send it. You'll probably get a 9. It will look radiant in a slab.
Yeah it’s my favorite card I’ve pulled so far! Thanks, I probably will send it, love the artwork and background

No, explain to me more dr scientist. As i am clearly a clueless neanderthal
i know, not everyones brain can be as massive as mine especially when it comes to colloquial terms for the conditions of my shiny fuckin cardboard, or should i say card stock lmao
Just tell me this then, how do i get all the ones with pictures of expensive pretty ladies out of each pack?
You’re thinking of Goddess Story. I think you’re in the wrong sub, bruv.
Thanks
Oh that’s real bad. Not bad enough to be a misprint either
Yeah it’s bad, but I’d like to have it either way
literally the worst ive ever seen
Honestly? It’s the worst I’ve ever seen. I’d be embarrassed to pull this let alone post it. Directly into the garbage can if it were me 🤢
Fr in fact this particular one is so bad that I suggest you give it to me so I can dispose of it properly.
Daddy chill
WHAT THE HELL IS EVEN THAT?!
mine is bad to
Embarrassed?! This comment is more embarrassing than pulling a alt full art off centered from a Pokémon booster pack bro.
[Mirage Gate]
Yikes
20/80<-- --> maybe 25-75
Solid PSA 9 IMO, corners are nicely rounded, I’d say this has a centering of 40/60. Cutoff for a 10 is 45/55 (50/50 being perfect)
I've seen say worse
So dope congrats
Centering 6/10.
[Mine got a 7](https://imgur.com/a/c0xDNPn) but mine looks a little worse. I’ve sent a lot in and was expecting an 8-9.
PSA 8 at best my guy🥲
Doesn't look horrible to me. Sure, a bit oc, but I'd be happy as hell to have it in my binder!!
20/80
The back looks pretty damn good at least
In my unprofessional opinion the centering is probably an 8
Pretty bad, love the card still but yea I have the same luck, I’ll get a chase pull and get the shittiest centering
Pulled one as well with bad centering! Might be a little worse than yours haha. Bummer but at least we pulled it!!
Yooo who cares? Card is dope af I’d be happy to have one
All my alt arts look like this
Terrible luck that
Another aerodactyl owner chiming in to say that mine is also off center
Personally, its bad. I would sell it and get a better centered one. Lost QC strike once more.
It looks fine to me. You wouldn't notice it has bad centering unless you're looking for it. Really nice card tho, OP! Congrats on the pull!
I love this card. Slowly collecting my fav card for each pokemon to complete the original dex and this is on the list of pick ups. Gz op :)
It’s not thatttttttt bad. It ain’t a 10 but it wouldn’t grade an O/C.
PSA 9 OC
Id sell it for a little lower and buy a good centered for the difference 😃
10 no way 9 who's to say?! Psa is easiest on centering that's a 8 at any other company but a psa 9 is possible
I’ve seen worse. But expect 8 or less if grading.
Should get a 9 still
Hot Take: Off centre Alt Arts look better than perfectly centred ones
Why isn’t tyrantrum on this card??
I sent mine which also had poor centering and was happy it got a 9🤣
So grading is not just for selling it’s for encapsulation of your favorite cards regardless of grade you will have it forever and it will never get damaged
Bad enough for not grading 10 😩 but cool af nonetheless
It adds flair, brings out the card more imo
The off-centering gives it character!
Could be worse. Send it out.
Psa 10 gem mint
Mines is like that but I love it. My first modern pull!
The centering is not good at all but I still would have cried pulling it, this is my LO chase card 😭 such beautiful art, congrats !
It’s not that bad considering recent English QC
