Also have that Mew promo from the first movie in there.



Young me apparently thought that was worthy of the same protection, for some goddamn reason.

No idea what these would go for (other than Mew bring effectively worthless).

It's a shitty cropped picture and I'm not holding it level.

Considering what?

It's very slightly bowed (I guess would be the terminology) and some very slight boxing on one back edge.

A quick eBay search (not in-depth) places the Charizard at about $1,000.

Considering what?

PSA is a grading company.

raw (ungraded), in light played condition, that card should get you a couple hundred bucks. near mint 500 ish. but if you get it graded, those numbers can double or more. but it's really backed up right now, so you'll either need to pay a ton of money or wait a long time to get it back. probably worth it if it gets a 9 or 10 (out of 10). an 8 would still be good so long as you don't pay a ton extra for a quicker turnaround.

even if you were planning to keep it, the case prevents most forms of future damage. though it does mean you can't play with it anymore.

I never played with it in the first place, my deck was a Muk shutdown my brother made. Ironically enough, the hard counter to exactly this card.

I actually may look into it.

I've been sitting on this fucking card for like twenty years, I don't much care if they take forever.

Well, yeah.

That's spelled out in the topic title, I did that much research.

that changes nothing

centering is how much border there are on the sides and top

one side is bigger than the other

psa is a little less strict about centering than Beckett. you can find some 10s on ebay centered about the same as TCs.

I don't understand what is the problem with that. Centering is not something you can control right? That's just the manufacturing process. Wouldn't that just mean you get fucked because you opened that specific pack as opposed to a different pack?

yep. sports card graders will commonly go through dozens of rookie cards looking for the 10% or so that'll grade 9 or 10.

That's why good centering is more valuable than bad centering.

You're talking about a TCG, why would "getting ****ed for opening one pack instead of another" be new?

I had that Charizard back in the day.

I traded it in at a comic store and bought a bunch of now hard-to-find Resident Evil toys with store credit.

I understand it's worth way more now but no regrets.
