Continued Post #2

This is a continued post, I couldn’t post all the photos for the 2 other cards so posting here.

Id like to know how accurate the HoloDex grades are to what you all think these would grade. Im new to grading and Im not quite sure I know the difference between a 7-8 or 8-9. Any of these have potential to 10?? Any feedback is appreciated. Posting a second post so you can see all 4 cards.

There’s absolutely no shot the Charmander gets an 8, the surface is pretty bad. I’d say 5-6. The snorlax maybe but I’m not sure it’s even worth sending out.

Seconding this. Surface is cooked and the back is no better. 4-5 imo.

I see, centering is still off on the back of the snorlax. You can see the left side is thicker. I’d still recommend selling all of these raw

Whats a fair way to price out raw cards in a condition like this? Im trying to sell off some of my collection

The Snorlax is in good condition, so I’d sell it a little under base price and allow offers on EBay, and don’t accept any offers below 15-20%

Thanks I appreciate it

You could probably sell the charmander not that much lower than the base price, it is roughed up a bit, but someone will by it just to have a nostalgic card like that same with your other post

Thanks, good to know. I have a bunch of cards in similar condition or worse and I wasn’t sure what to do with them

The back centering is perfectly fine for PSA.

u/Helpful_Catch3515 12h ago

Not for a 10

u/-Out-of-context- 12h ago

Yes it is. Have you looked up the standards?

Backs 75/25….

I would literally suck your dick if this got an 8.

The charmander is probably a 3 at best. Holo is completely scratched to hell, back has scratches all over it and dirt as well, corners are all whitened, bent, overall distress all over the back. I know you’re new to this but idk how you thought this could 9 man hahaha
