Help on potentially grading this 1st Edition Neo Scizor

General
1

Hi guys,

I bought this Scizor from someone who claimed it didn’t have any holo scratches - it obviously does however. I was just wondering what you thought it may grade? Is it worth sending it off?




Thanks in advance :blush:

Depends on how the back looks. If the back would be perfect, this would probably be max out at a 7 or 8 due to the top right corner knick and the severe scratching.

Pretty sure we bought cards from the same seller:)

I put him on my ignore list. Happy to chuck a cheap L into my bulk

It’s definitely a PSA 7 in my book. The trouble with “no scratches” is that a nivice seller does not see the light scratches on a card. Novice sellers will perceive a scratch as serious damage only or a line of silvering. Something really obvious in other words. Only fellow collectors have a real idea of what scratching actually means and how to look for it in the light.

For this reason, I would not blame the seller. I just bought 5 Bday pikachus for 40 bucks each on the premise that they were mint, but they have light scratching after all and are NM. I’m not gonna complain because I do not think it was an international lie on the sellers part.

Is it just me or is the holo on this card really strange?

It’s not just you. Those two lines at the front of the artwork aren’t supposed to be Holofoil. So this looks like a misprint similar as the Neo Revelations holofoil error cards. :open_mouth:

Here a picture of my copy as comparison:

Thanks for the input guys :blush: Obviously had no idea this could be an error card as I don’t own another copy of this.

No need to tease. It’s ‘Just a Question‘ after all:)

@fieldy618 Given that it’s an error card you probably gained 50% on its value… but it’s probably not worth grading given its condition.

Here’s the reverse misprint of yours.

I’d definitely put it in the 6/7 range.

I honestly think it’s more like a 6.

Thanks for to everyone for the input, very helpful :blush: I probably won’t grade it, I’ll just leave it in my collection and see if I come across any other error Neo cards!

@fieldy618,Wow I didn’t even notice it was a bleed. I love the neo rev holo bleeds, so this is very cool! COngrats on that! Definitely worth keeping.
