Worthwhile going for a black label?

Been debating whether to go with PSA or Beckett, I think the card looks pretty clean but unsure if it has a chance at getting a black label. Would you go with PSA or Beckett?

Could this get a psa10?

Started buying packs on Saturday and managed to pull this wondering if I should send it off and if it will be worth it (the white spot top left on the back is dust)

Started sorting through my childhood collection…

I know enough to know vintage is tough to grade. Nothing will 10, maybe the first ed dark dragonite might 9. But nothing is mint.

Obviously the shadowless charizard is worth grading (I think). But what else should I grade? Is there a point where grading makes less sense than raw? I’m not in a rush to sell, or even fully sold on selling.

Any recommendations or suggestions are welcomed.

Opinion on this Eevee?

Opinions on whether I should try to grade this or not? Thank you all in advance^^

Sidenote: there's a very slight Holo effect on a couple of spots on the edges that I couldn't capture with my phone.

Definitely the coolest card I’ve pulled

Hey everyone! First time posting here so please let me know if I need to provide any more info :P. Anyway do any of y’all think this cool guy is worth sending in to PSA to get graded (or any other better companies)? I ran it through a card grading ai app with the free credits they give for the first grading and it gave a 9.5, the ai also did not recommend sending it in but the day I genuinely take advice from a clanker is the day I’ve truly given up on life. That being said any and all advice is welcome and appreciated.

Edit: that line on the bottom is my cats fur, she is in every possible crevice of my house no matter what lol

Potential Black Label? (or a bust)

Hey all,

Pulled this the other day while ripping some Phantasmal & the more I look at it, the more I tell myself that it could potentially black label, so I wanted to get some other opinions on it. If you don't think it is worthy of a black label, would you suggest sending it to PSA or still submitting it to Beckett?

Thanks in advance!

First BIG hit!

Finally got my first big HIT from a DR pack in the Charizard UPC (out of all places lol). It looks good, but I’ve never sent in a card for grading so I’m not too familiar with criteria. Thoughts on if this is worth sending in!? Hoping for a 10 since a 9 wouldn’t be worth it.

This came back as a 6 with PSA…

Am I crazy or should this have gotten a little higher than a 6? Thinking of regrading it or sending elsewhere

Looking for advice

Pulled this just the other day out of my last twilight masquerade pack. I’m new to this! Would this grade a ten? The small spec on the back is on the sleeve not the card.

Potential first submission?

Pulled this guy from a $15 gumball lottery machine thing from my local shop last night! I’ve never graded anything and have always wanted to…..but have been hesitant because of the PSA drama 🤷🏻‍♂️.

What do y’all think?

Kids first hit

My son wanted to get into pokemon and I didnt take much convincing. I played as a kid and still play MTG. Anyways got him a few packs and he pulled this. It looks pretty crisp to my untrained eye but is it worth sending in to grade? His first reaction when he realized how much it was worth was to sell it to buy more packs lol. Figure if its going to sell maybe its worth to grade? Thoughts? Im very new to the modern pokemon market

Tried to take some decent pictures but lighting is a bitch with these full art foils

Should I grade gold star?

Im a big rayquaza collector and I’ve slowly been building a binder to grandmaster set every english rayquaza and japanese exclusive arts. I recently obtained my grail and I was curious what people think. Should I grade my gold star or leave it in the binder?
