What 1 Card do you Miss the Most at PSA

Most of us have cards sitting in some cold, dark, scary warehouse at PSA. They haven’t been shown an ounce of attention or love ever since you boxed them up and sent them off months ago… What is the one card that you miss the most?

For me, I definitely miss my Gold Star Umbreon the most. It isn’t in fantastic condition, and I am mainly grading it for display/protection purposes, but I miss it all the same!

What about you?

I have a sub at cgc not psa, but the same concept applies, so I miss my fossil dragonites and Japanese rockets hitmonchan a lot.

Probably my Master Battle set promos. Not sure why I submitted bulk at the time. Will probably get up charged. Can’t wait to see grades if and when it gets to the grading step :blush:

Japanese base Charizard I pulled from a deck. First base charizard I ever pulled, from English or Japanese. Centering is off so not likely a 10, but I’m eager to know if they’ll notice the slightest edge curve from the plastic seal it was in while in the deck. It’s so slight that I’m not sure if they’ll consider it normal curvature or an indent, but I wanna know!!!

My TMTA Swampert ex that I opened in August-ish. My first ex pull since like 2005, and I truly miss it :sob:. Hopefully will come back sometime this year, and hopefully as a 10.

I miss the Gold Star Treecko I pulled when I was young. It is one of the few cards I kept from my childhood collection when I got out of Pokémon. Will probably get a 6 or so, but I don’t really care about the grade for it.

Have a shadowless venusaur I’m hoping will get a 9. 32 cards on a 45 day order probably close to 140 days now. Shadowless Zard might also get a 7

My December arrival that hasn’t been entered yet is even a worse killer for me since it included several of my favorite Gengars and all my best Dragon Ball Super cards.

Hardest part of all for me is that with each new sub, the odds of PSA damaging one or more of my cards increases. I worry more about that while they are out of my hands than getting jammed on grades.

I really miss my gold star rayquaza and lottery rayquaza ex, which were only entered into cgc database today via bulk

This is very tough to answer! There are so many cards at PSA that I miss.

If I had to pick one, it would probably be one of my personal “trophy” cards from childhood:


I won a copy of that card in a Pokemon League tournament in the early 2000s. :blush:

It certainly isn’t my most valuable card, but it has a nice memory attached to it! I have a few of the other “Winner” cards from that era too, but this is my favorite.

@galalyth, nothing better than exs with clean surfaces. The shine is just amaazzzinngggg. They get scratches so easily that remove the gloss. Your two look as glossy as they come; beautiful cards.
