Cards That May Never Get a PSA 10

That would be such a grail card in a psa 10, very cool art

The Snap cards with poor centering as each come from the same sheet so there are no well-centered copies. Articuno, Bulbasaur, Chansey, Squirtle, Charmander.

I forgot that Primal Kyogre existed! Such a funky looking card.

It’s been a dream of mine to grade any of these in their first 10.

As we all know, the mirror holos scratch very easily and noticably, and the euro crosshatch had a relatively poor print quality, with lots of mint copies still being off-centered and containing print lines.

The age of Majestic Dawn and Undaunted makes it not a cheap endeavor to try to open fresh copies today, and the scarcity and low distribution of the euro promo means that even of all the available copies handed out to players, there might not be a single left 10 among them.

Genesect BW101 promo. At the time of this post, 39 graded total with 0 PSA 10s. This card came in DVDs of Genesect and the Legend Awakened, but only if it had the sticker on the front. I was lucky enough to find one years ago and open my own. A bookstore that sold DVDs happened to list one lol. Every back corner was banged up, and I assume any copy opened today would be similar.

I’ve only casually hunted another DVD since I found one, but since then I haven’t seen a single other one pop up.

It’s…actually a dream of mine to get this as a 10 in reverse. It’s not even one of my favourites, but I love the artwork.

Maybe I can find someone who will sell their 9. Or an 8.

I’m starting to think Enhanced Hammer 211/SV-P. I’ve submitted at least 5 myself (all 8s and 9s) and currently have 5 more at PSA :ogre:

Charizard CoroCoro Jumbos also other ones from the same set. I submitted some pretty good ones myself but I still keep expectations low. Two CGC 10 Bandai Zukan Mystery of Mew Non Holo’s crossing over still waiting to see of mine crossover will be the first PSA 10 Non Holo variant there is only 2 Holo variants maybe more now not sure. Those Bandai Zukan cards had one movie card per box is my understanding. I opened 2-3 boxes roughly. I will only speak of cards I’m grading myself or crossing over there are so many elusive variants and way rarer cards than these two sets / set cards worth mentioning.

I’ve graded stacks of the Energize Your Game energies. 10s are just luck in my opinion. Ended up buying the “10s” I needed from Rusty in CGC 10. They look just like the PSA 10s I’ve seen.
