Advice needed -- "Luxury Grading" financial guarantee?

General
1

Hi everyone,
I purchased a Nest Ball recently that was graded a 9.5 by Luxury Grading. It is a beautiful card and I am happy to have it.
That being said, it is slightly off centered with corner whitening (pictures attached). While grading is subjective I do think this card is closer to a “9” than a “9.5”. I’ve attached pictures for reference.

I know PSA offers financial guarantees for their grades but I can’t find any info about this for Luxury. In fact I can’t find any info at all.

Since I paid $15 for this card as a 9.5 I would like at least $2-3 dollars back since it really should be a 9.0 but I have no idea who to get in touch with. Has anyone graded cards with Luxury in the past and can share info? Thanks!

No offense intended if serious - but is this a troll post or are you being serious?

There’s pretty clearly corner whitening on the top right and while I haven’t Yet measured the exact pixels, the top to bottom border ratio is pretty off centered as well, so I don’t think it’s crazy to not think this is a 9.5. It’s the principle not the price.

My point wasn’t the condition - I don’t disagree with you there. But the time it takes to try and haggle 2-3 dollars out of a low teir grading company isn’t worth 2-3 dollars of your time in my opinion. I’m all about making a buck or two here and there - trust me - but this one probably isn’t worth it haha.

I know this is satire but I’m still annoyed

also @thecardguyz he isn’t serious, this post is a jab at the guy who made a long post about collectorscache sending him two damaged $3 cards lol

I’d crack it open just to make sure the scratches/whitening wasn’t on the case. Then I’d throw everything in the trash.

I ordered this card two weeks ago and just picked it up so this is not a “jab”

Try scanning the bar code on the back :wink: it definitely isn’t the exact same bar code as every other luxury grading slab.

I’m on “company time” as they say in the union. So might as well.

That’s rough. Once the bubbIe bursts this card will be worth about -$16

It has a 4xxx cert number so just leave it in. It may not look like it but that is a strong grade. Also solid investment, these gold item cards are really undervalued.

I didn’t want to mention this in case it was too "risqué for Pokémon, but there also happens to be a “69” in the cert number
