Rest of the card is immaculate but there’s a tiny lift on this corner

I sent submissions to both PSA and BGS on the same exact day for their lowest tier. Psa i sent 22 value bulk submission and bgs i sent 7 basic with subgrades. As of today psa seems to be ahead of schedule while bgs is not giving me any data. We will see what happens with total cost and time in the coming days. Im not sure how much psa will charge me for 22 cards but $161 seems outrageous for 7 cards.

I know it’s bottom heavy 🥲 but it’s like right on the cusp of 45:55. I think I’ve seen a few worse ones that are way more crooked.

I’m honestly just relieved to see it again after them telling me they lost it and having no response for over a week and then they said they found it again.

(The debris and scuff marks are on the semi rigid, this card was super clean other than the centering top and bottom).

Crazy luck. Pulled from the single pack that came with the GameStop power pack. Was debating to even grade so it looks top heavy. Wanted some opinion of grade predictions.
Sleeved and top loaded immediately after.
Thanks in advance

It looks bottom heavy to me but I read that centering can be slightly off and still 10 what do you guys think over all?

Hello! For the record, this post is just for fun.

Back when the 151 reverse Metapod was a meme on Reddit, I walked into my LCS and saw a reverse holo legendary collection Metapod. It was a PSA 3 and $20, so I just bought it because I thought it was funny.

I attend a lot of local shows and wear it in a slab bag (pic 3) so people see it and ask me about it. Again I think it's fun, it's a good conversation piece with vendors & collectors.

I've invented a story in my head that it was pack fresh, the person who graded it expected a 10, got a 3, and then sold it to my LCS while super pissed off, only to be picked up by me who wears it in on her bag lol.

I have yet to meet the person who graded it though haha (I assume they're local, although I'm Los Angeles based, so could be anyone!)

Obviously I can see it has some whitening on the edges. And obviously I know that LC is notoriously hard to grade.

I assume there's a micro dent somewhere on it, but I've tried looking, I took it to a 200x microscope, I've had dozens of experienced vendors look at it too. No one can tell me why it's a 3. Everyone is baffled and confused.

So, I ask you, Reddit! Plz help me spot the issue!!!

(FYI, I'm not regrading it. I love that it's a 3, and it's truly a fun piece for my collection/my fave card show accessory haha. I'm also not selling it. Just would love to know if anyone can spot the dent!)

The centering looks within 55/45 and I don’t see any noticeable flaws. I have been considering cracking a resubmitting this for a while. Maybe I’m overlooking something I have no idea

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

Im worried the cant to the back of pinkachu is gonna force a 9. The op cards are just for personal collection so if they 10 cool but im having more trouble pre grading than my pokemon cards

Never seen psa move yhis quick beofre not even when it was non hype period. For regular to already be in Garding is crazy but glad i may be gettin this begore of month next this mnth also hoping for a 10 even if it means gettin upcharged since ther now $1.9k after previous sold for $800

About 30$ raw, 400$ PSA 10, any luck with this one?

I have yet to receive this back in-hand, but I think it’s cool and would consider keeping it this way if it actually arrives like this. Cert # comes back to pop 2 base still- what would you do/what do you think I should do?

only using ai for borders, mostly looking for opinions on which company to send this to.

all opinions appreciated
