In the process of trying to get a partial refund to LP pricing after a seller on TCGPlayer sent me this as “NM”
and stated that every card they sell follows TCGPlayer conditioning guidelines (which states NM cards will have “crisp corners” and a “nearly unmarked surface” but can have “slight edge wear”

Understand that NM cards can have minor imperfections but the top right corner is not minor, it’s a huge flake, not a dot. Looks to also extend to the back surface of the card and not just the edge.

Everything else is fine only front top bottom centering looks off

Self explanatory
I feel like this card looks really good… it’s on auction on eBay right now but should I try and grade it instead?

Off the rip seemed like my highest value card? How would this grade?

WOULD THIS 10?!? VERY close to psa 45/50 acceptance based off this app lol

Thought about it but AI graders on my phone keep giving me 9s.

whats up chat… just need an honest opinion whether or not I should just hold raw for the long run or roll the dice and send off to grade. took some pics and tried using the card centering app the best I could.

Found in my childhood collection. Never graded before, should I submit? and to who? and what grade do you guys think i'll get? front looks perfect, back seems to have 3 small white dots in the corners.

Never graded anything before, wanted to know if this groudon would be worth grading, and how much return I would after submission costs. I think raw is around $155 cad rn and graded is $700+.

Would honestly just appreciate any help cause i’ve never graded before
