This is the back side.
Based on these photos anywhere from 6-10

Nice pull! As with most modern, anywhere from an 7-10. Check this PSA guide out.
Broad strokes:
Surface: any dents/scratches? god forbid â a crease?
Centering: top/bottom and left/right centering is what youâre looking at (both sides)
Corners: prone to dents, nicks and whitening
Edges: prone to dents, nicks, whitening and folding
Personally it could very well be a 9/10 candidate â but sleeved photos can only show so much. Itâs really going to be your call if a card is worth grading.
Enjoy the submission experience! You will learn a lot very quickly (in some cases, the hard way â my first ever submission was a 4 on a FRLG Gengar ex). Learning to âpre-gradeâ your cards is just something that will take a few submissions. If youâd like, you could get one of these cheap desk clamped light magnifiers to really see imperfections on your cards.

Has anyone done an edit to a submitted PSA card? I made an edit but Iâm not sure whatâs next, should I expect an approval/denail email or some sort of confirmation?
The couple times I reported an error they just fixed it on the back end with no notification.

Small vent. My brothers cards from the psa back log have been coming back. Was anything during this period actually graded with any consistency? Other views on subs youâve had back from the back log only please would be great to hear. He did well overall in 10s and 9s itâs not the overall grades itâs which cards got the 9s and which got the 10s.
Just got my first damage incurred email from PSA. Luckily it was just a Picasso Touch promo. Originally a 9 down to a 4. If it was a 10 Iâd be super down cause Iâve never gotten a 10 on the dozen or so Iâve sent. They offered $40 plus the grading fee of $15 applied to the order fee which I accepted.

Any have knowledge on psaâs pack grading? I submitted my first one a while ago and it took forever to finish research id but upon looking at my sub it says â2009 pokemon platinum foil pack foil pack Dialgaâ so I reported the error and said foil pack shouldnât be repeated. They closed it be case and decided that it should stay the way they originally put it. What can I do from here?
I have a PSA 10 Charizard GX from Hidden Fates that I bought from someone in person. However, the card is very loose inside the slab and I can hear it rattling around, which is concerning since itâs an expensive card. I am considering using PSAâs re-holder services to address this issue, but I donât have a membership and will have to pay $40 for shipping and insurance.
My main concern is the possibility of the loose card causing damage, especially since I didnât grade the card myself. Additionally, I came across a YouTube video where the card is shaken in the slab to test for damage, and though the person claims there is none, I noticed little dents on the top of the card that werenât there before.
So, should I go ahead with the re-holder service or leave the card as is? Any advice would be appreciated!
There is not much flexibility with how they label things. In this case it shouldnât be an issue though
The âsetâ name is 2009 Pokemon Platinum Foil Pack. The âitemâ name is âFoil Pack Diaglaâ
It will probably look like this

Every card in a psa slab has some wiggle room where it can move around if shaken, some more pronounced than others but a reholder wonât âfixâ it. Should be fine as long as youâre not playing ultimate frisbee with your slabs.

Cool thanks I thought they were gonna have foil pack repeating in the slab which wouldâve looked goofy lol
thanks for the reply. curious as to why a re-holder wouldnt fix it. dont they just reslab the card wouldnt they be able to secure it more properly during that process?
PSA just puts the cards in the slabs, there is no extra precision âproper securingâ process for individual cards that arenât a perfect fit. Neither the cards nor the slabs are built to super precise tolerances, and itâs normal for some cards to move inside the slabs.

I see, thank you. This was the first time Iâve seen a card move around so freely inside a PSA slab, as I donât have many of them.
The card moves because it is probably very straight with not much warping. Donât think reholder will solve this movement issue. I would say keep your money.
