Hey everyone, as you know I’m a big psa collector of many different cards and sets. While dealing with many quality cards and sets I’ve purchased through the last 2 years I have found that the 1st edition Neo sets have lots of issues. Factory horizontal/vertical scratches in the holos and even on the backs of them more specifically neo genesis and Revelation. Silvering on the neo destiny sets and good sized nicks on revelation as well. Neo discovery was very well produced. Anyway psa 8 cards are hard to sell and I have some various cards from these sets in psa 8. Rather than sell em I’ve thought about cracking open the cases and completing the sets.
I’m looking for thoughts and opinions on what I should do with these cards. They are all pulled and straight to sleeve so the quality is great. Furthermore if you feel a card would only grade an 8 I feel it would make it easier to sell raw or to stick in a binder. I may provide pics of these psa 8 holos at a later date.
Nice. Ya I do have quite a few 8s from the silvering from the destiny set and the holos appear scratch free. I had thought no better than a 9 for most. But I have some 8s that look 10. Those are in a far stack of regrade pile lol. It really depends with the grader and how harsh the silver borders are.
Do regrades actually end up being graded that differently? From peoples experiences here? I’ve never regraded a card myself… Eventhough I have a few that I think deserve higher grades than they were given.
I have sent in a couple cards and was returned with the same results for them. But I have seen others that have regraded 9s and got 10s. I’ve had a few 6s regraded as 8s too and that was due to printing defects
My opinion would be to crack them open and try to form complete sets and sell. There is a good market for complete sets, and as you’re well aware as more Neo cards are graded now, there really is very little market for them even in 9’s in some cases.
