Purchased at a show the other day. 99.9% sure it’s all good but would like a sanity check :)

I did the shine through test on the light house, black light of course, checked centering to ensure the same card, etc. just like others to double check for me.

I also have the PSA grade reveal video the vendor send to me, shipping info from his submission, all that.

Label has same spacing and ink imperfections, shine through looks good, and there is even a small piece of lint on the ‘PSA’ label on the back in the scan and in hand. Slab itself has the same bubbly defect on the left in hand and in scans, and same ‘fogging’ at the very top from sealing.

I’m not seeing any evidence or resealing or shenanigans, but I always like to double check my vendor purchases. Thanks all!

Some of my favorite binder pages I’ve put together so far. Still lots of improvements I need to make!

Halfway through the year, what have you picked up so far? Here are my slab purchases from Jan - July.

Which modern ‘grail’ do you think will do the best over the next couple years?

(And no I’m not trying to pump, I don’t have all of these lol)

*that IS what someone who is trying to pump would say tho….

Cloudiness above PSA label, normal? Sanity check me?

Picked this up at a show the other day. It’s legit, scan, black light, lighthouse shine through, etc. But I noticed the cloudiness above the label. I have one other card like this which is a new label Giratina.

Looking through eBay I’m seeing various instances of it on other cards to some degree or another.

What usually causes this? Is it the sealing process?

What modern slab to target next?

I’m not a Bubble Mew guy 😅 I would like to round out my modern collection tho with a bit of variety and take advantage of a summer slump if we actually have one.

Picked up a modern grail today

Absolutely love this card. Have a raw one in the binder but needed the 10.

Picked up a modern grail today

I have a raw copy already but I think this is, imo, a top 3 modern card in terms of art. I’m a huge Tina Stan as well.

Card show haul today

Took my daughter to her first show and gave her $100. She got the eevee’s and piplup. Picked a couple Arceus for my son (he likes the ‘strongest pokemon’). Lugia and the astral radiance alt arts for me :)

Card show pickup today

Paid $1600. Older cert but the centering is damn bear perfect on the front and back and I’m picky about centering on the silver borders. Really happy with this. I think this card will continue to grow.

Still my favorite card in my collection

This has always been the goated Umbreon for me. Just a majestic mf.

u/Venomous72 — 20 days ago

Pretty stoked on this one. Not a 10 but man it was exciting to open. Will sit on this for a while I think.

I know the centering isn’t great but I’m so stoked
