THE Great Grading Results Thread

I use Edge Grading’s Centering Calculator.

Had 2 submissions finish recently that had some great results! I’m only sharing the cards for my collection as the rest is just random flips :slight_smile:

Firstly the most (and only) disappointing result was this card getting a PSA 6


I spent forever looking for dents on it and couldn’t see anything, so I’m really not sure where the 6 has come from. I’ll have another look when it comes back in. Also, when I sent it in, it was going to be the first copy in any grade on the pop report. But looks like someone has graded a PSA 9 at the same time as me! If you are on here let me know :eyes:

Now, the good stuff! I need to check but I believe this completes Moonlit Pursuit for me.

I just bought one of these, maybe I shouldn’t have bothered

And I absolutely do not need 3 of these but sure, why not

This is a dupe, but it’s a low pop card thats surprisingly annoying to find mint raw so I’m sure another species collector will appreciate it

Another low pop dupe, keeping this one though

And this ones new! Completes the Temple of Anger variants for me (1st ed/unlimited) Apparently this is pop 1

Welp, another set of PSA grades back and another set of mostly disappointment. I got hammered on English but non-English (Japanese, French, German) all did really well, with this being the star:

The award for most frustrating grade goes to this card:


Near perfect centering, perfect surface, only a small white dot on the top left back corner (other corner white dots are not visible in person) and it got an 8…. I would have been content with a 9 but I thought it had a 50/50 shot at a 10.

Are these not a bunch of surface scratches here?

Congrats on the 10’s you did get though!

I don’t believe so, I think those may be on the slab itself. My last few orders I have received a few scratched up slabs.

But I’ll confirm and follow up once it is delivered back to me!

it has the corner dings but they are tiny so normally that would default to a 9
since you got the 8 i assume they didnt like something about the holo but cant see an issue from the photo

centering is bottom heavy but still would keep it a 9. most wotc are bottom heavy but as long as it isnt overboard and left to right is good it normally doesnt imapct scores

Welcome to the club though psa is insanely harsh with vintage they grade them like modern as unrealistic and unfair as it feels its just what they started doing

you will see old slabs that are worse than yours with a ten on them and get in your feels

I stop grading vintage cause the graders are seeing 100,000’s of ultra modern cards that are so crispy, when a grader sees vintage. Vintage looks Near mint at best.


we have bulk at 100% Gem Mint sometimes. There is no way vintage would get Gem mint if a vintage runs thru after our submissions

unfortunately you will never be able to prove this claim, as no one can see that list built for a ant.

So you post something to show your gem mint cards, and when we tell you we can’t see, we get “i am the one with the Gem Mint cards. doesnt bother me at all. These are my cards.”

My 7 year old “brother” said something like this once :thinking:
