Looking for ACE 5 Birthday Pikachu (Celebrations)

Hi all. Wasn't sure where to post this so please feel free to remove if it's not the right place to ask.

My little nephew is turning 5 in July and I wanted to get him an ACE 5 Birthday Pikachu to celebrate, ideally with the ACE label. I've checked ebay, vinted, fb marketplace and posted on FB to no avail. Anyone seen one being sold anywhere? Or best place to look?

Appreciate any help anyone has. Many thanks!

Worthy of ACE 10?

Having never submitted a card for grading before, I ran this card through an AI grader, as you can see it estimated a 9 on PSA standards. Given the slight negatives, does anyone with more experience think this stands a chance of a 10 with ACE?.

Any feedback good or bad is appreciated.

Grading reports

Had my first submissions back, a 9 and 10 but thought they’d have graded the reverse of what I got.

I paid for the report and it is useless, I then asked for the scans or some further information to support their surface grade and was told that there’s no scans.

My question is how can they assure the grades and be compliant if there is no record of the reports, for instance a grader could say there are issues and when questioned just say there’s no imaging just trust what our team have decided…

Similarly, if defects aren’t visible when enclosed then how can they decide it “detracts from the eye appeal”? I asked this question and was told that it is within their policy, but they mark their own homework and I wonder if any regrades ever happen…

Charizard worth submitting?

Ripped this and pristine front, good centering but small white spots in all four corners on the back. Anyone think this is worth grading and potential for a 10? Not done ACE before but read that centering is most important? Any help appreciated, TIA.

Stunned

Sent a BGS 9 Dragonite Fossil as I wanted to change to an ACE case, and it came back a 7. Are we saying Ace has stricter grading than BGS now? I actually wouldn't bother with any cross grades in the future. I'm shocked.

Ultra service currently on 9 business days???

Hi all, I've got a submission with ace currently. I'm on 9 business days of the 7 and zero contact, its been at 'assembly stage for 4 business days now?

Is this normal?? If I'd have known it would go over the 7 days I wouldnt have sent the cards in. Emails ignored.

Bit crap tbh! Especially given that they appear to not even communicate things are running late to the customer.

Mega Charizard - First Grade Attempt

Hi all - complete grading newbie but this is the best card I’ve ever pulled so would be great to grade it for my personal collection.

I have put it into an online tool but would appreciate opinions on how you think it would do?

I think it’s left heavy?

I have also heard the gold cards don’t grade well

Pikachu with Grey Felt Hat ACE 10 in penny sleeve inside slab?

I went to buy an Ace 10 Pikachu with grey felt hat from someone, on inspection I noticed it was in a penny sleeve inside the slab, is this a big red flag for a fake? The QR code was off centre as well. I didn’t get chance to take a photo of it. EDIT: when I scanned the QR code it took me to the ace grading site but didn’t load a picture of the card.

Potential grade?

Hi everyone, I’ve had normal cards graded but never a tag team GX one.

I’d like to get this SM210 graded but I’m not sure on the potential result. Looks good to me but there is a curve on the card, does this impact the grade?

I’ve attached pictures
