The Giant Professional Grading Thread

Ive seen boxes fresh out of a case of unfolded/unmade boxes with more damage than the box they declined of mine. Im not trying to be dramatic but the idiot who is declining packages must have some serious handicap or be blind and extremely stupid.

From my last communication with them, they grade all Korean cards from the D/P sets onwards. So yes, should grade B/W promos :blush:

Got kinda shafted on a lot of these but oh well, a lot of the other cards in this bulk sub had no business being bulk and they got 9s and 10s and I did not get upcharged on any so its ok. I love the unown line. I distinctly remember trading my neighbor my shining gyarados for his unown N so I could spell my name. Perhaps the finest trade deal in the history of trade deals

5x 9s
15x 8s
8x 7s
(all essentially the same condition imo)

Sent cards Jan 2021 through regular service with Ludkins. No update so far. I assume this is normal given the backlog but any input on this?

Thanks!

Lot of us still waiting on October 2020 and such, as well, so might be a minute before 2021.

What price per card? I believe even all “dealer regular” tier cards should be completed by now

he was my roommate in undergrad. Turns out he threw the gyarados away

For those that have been upcharged from ludkins how much longer is the wait from when you pay the upcharge?

Couple days to couple months.

The infamous white whale! 1.5>9

Thanks, good to hear :blush: I was worried about the lack of updates/communication but this explains it.

Hi all, I really want some Double Crisis cards in delicious delicious gem minty graded goodness.

The only issue… no-one really bothered grading them at the time!

I was thinking Japanese would be easier to grade than English, but does anyone have any experience buying older boosters and hoping to pull something gradeworthy? How damaged do they get sitting in a pack for years?

I just got a submission back from PSA with EX hidden legends holo’s and EX cards. I got 9 Gem Mint 10’s and I already have 2 PSA 10 Holo’s from this set. I wanted to create a Holo set in the registry, but there isn’t an open set in the registry. How should I contact PSA to open up a set inside in the registry?

I am slowly working on completing EX era Holo sets and unfortunately this is one that I need to complete.
