Some new Japanese additions! Should I open and grade the holo cards from the decks? I love them but I’ve noticed they are slightly warped and shift around a little in the box. The decks are 1ED by the way. I only want to grade them if they have a reasonable chance at a 10.
Also, 1ED Regirock ex from Undone Seal! Excellent condition, but still amazing as I got it for $5. Be jealous, @soulwind
Totally unexpected!! PSA returns are in! These cards were accepted at PSA on June 4th, with a 30-day turnaround time. Not sure when the grades were posted, as I haven’t been checking the website at all. But wow!!
So, how I feel about these returns is pretty average, so pumped they came back fast. Cards I am supper happy about include the 1ED Latias star being graded an 8 (I expected a 7 or below), the PSA 10 Japanese Latios ex from Furthest Ends (may be the first 10?) as I got that from TCG Republic, famed for its mediocre condition cards. The Latios was a last-second addition and man am I happy. I pack-pulled the Kyogre ex myself (the first ex card I ever pulled) so getting it in a 10 is really amazing. All other grades are as expected, kinda bummed about the 8s on ex series cards. The Charizard probably deserved an 8, but I was thinking the Deoxys would score a 9. I was also hoping for 10s on the Flygon and Metagross.
Edit: POP report updated with my cards. The Latios ex is not only the first one graded, and the first PSA 10, but also the only graded and PSA 10 EX card from Furthest Ends. Pretty hyped to have a card that unique in my collection. Now don’t everyone go grading yours now!
Thanks! Good to see you back! And no, I did not. I was basically just checking to check, as one does, and the grades were there. I got an email today that they had shipped them, but nothing about the grades being available. I have received an email like that before though. I usually check the website once every two days or so just to make sure everything is good.
I didn’t last long did I? “Just when i thought I was out…”
You have more willpower than I do. I check my emails first thing in the morning (time difference for me means they send the email overnight).
They used to send an email saying ‘your grades are available’ but I’ve noticed that for the last few returns, they just give you the grades when you get the email saying ‘Your PSA order has shipped’. Must be a new thing.
Some sweet cards from the king of Rayquazas himself, @pottsinator! He also sent some seriously epic extras, including one of those crazy Rayquaza Mega Battle posters…now only to find a spot to hang it…
But if you were wondering, not even these are the epicness that I have been hinting at…what could POSSIBLY be better than a pair of PSA 9 Rays? …Well probably PSA 10 Rays, but those cost as much as my yearly salary…still, you’ll just have to wait for what’s coming…
It’s beautiful…don’t know if you’ve been following the discussion, but it is the first and only PSA graded EX card from Furthest Ends. Not to mention it’s a 10
