Pretty cool return. Vintage cards like these are great in any grade as long as they arent tore the hell up.

On that Rhystic study you were doomed from the start, if you look at the black boarder around the card you can clearly see it's way thicker on the left side than it is on the right (You can really immediately notice it when you look at the bottom right corner of the card and then compare it to the bottom left corner) It might even be slightly rotated counter clock wise as you can see in the bottom right the black margin clearly gets thicker left-to-right and the top black margin gets thicker right-to-left

always a good idea to get them graded if you like the card itself for the personal collection! makes it look way prettier and it protects the cards fully so you cant damage it anymore accidently. also PSA and all other grading companies are super inconsistent so dont feel bummed out. i had 7s go to 10s with PSA its just luck of the draw with the grader.

Not bad grades for vintage that was actually opened over 20 years ago! Just a note on PSA grading process - It's renowned for being inconsistent at times. There are really good guides on KZfaq for what specifically to look for when submitting to give yourself the best chance, but there's never a guarantee. Also, Japanese cards have much higher print quality that English cards so if you have more of them I'd definitely recommend submitting them as there's a good chance the grades will trend higher than the English cards.

i'm waiting until psa sys free grading day with max 10 per person or something. they need to promote more like this for me to grade cause their fine in my top loaders binder rn

ye i think on the cards where u thought they were in really good condition and would have been thousands of dollars, u might want to consider sending them to a different grader. a view years back when there was this tremendous hype for pokemon cards i watched streamers open old unopened booster boxes, litteraly surgically opening the packs and putting the cards in sleeves and sending them in for grading, and even then they did not even get a 10 and most of them were 8. to me all that grading from psa seems rly fishy

Those 5’s must have some tiny dents or something. If a card has even the slightest indentation PSA won’t give any higher than a 5, even if it’s otherwise in good condition. Still a very nice haul, love that Dark Charizard

nice video, you had bad expectations psa is very hard on vintage for one. secondly any whitening like that blastoise on the top is going to drop it to at least a 6. if it has more wear than obvious whitening like that will continue to drop in number. never have expectations on vintage unless its pack fresh. its hard to see with the naked eye. you have to use super bright light just like psa does to get a glance at any of the damage.

My results was nothing. Because the cards got stolen😭 Sent in $2800 worth of cards

This is a dream of mine is to send my pokemon cards into psa.

The blastoise qas a 5 and the snorlax was a 5 even though there was massive scuffs on the top of the card what the hell

When u have fingerprints in the cards the grade it low. Clean cards before send

Pikachu is real and not a hat...

Im a kid i ma11

Maybe you can get me Pokemon cards please
