25 Card Pokemon PSA Sub Order Reveal 👍 $18.99 Bulk Rate Grading TCG Return. Charizard Rayquaza

Elvie here with a 25 card PSA Pokemon suborder reveal for you today. This order took a while just like everyone's almost four months to complete, but within the estimated completion date. And I'm not going to lie, it's kind of refreshing to get a Pokemon order back because the grades always seem consistent to me. No wild inconsistency we see with sports card graders. And that's simply because Pokemon is extremely easy to grade in comparison. I mean, the back of Pokemon cards have literally looked the exact same since the late 1990s, and the centering format on the front is very similar on all Pokemon sets. So, definitely less variance and unique attributes to trip graders up. All right, let's just get started. Oh, quickly, it does look like I accepted two PSA offers on this order. The first one was a 2021 Celebration Surfing Pikachu. got a gem mint 10 and I accepted the offer of $71. The next was a RCUS Japanese promo. We got a gem 10 and I sold that one for $53. Okay, let's get into it. Okay, first up, it looks like we have a Pikachu and it is out of the celebrations 2021. So, this card is absolutely wild. You can buy this card raw for around five bucks. But if you get it in a gem 10, you can sell it for a thousand. It's worth a thousand. And if you think that that is crazy, the gap between a PSA 9 and a gem in 10 is just astronomical. You This card is only $25 in a 9, $1,000 in a 10. It's just mindboggling. So, I actually will not be selling this card because I thought this had a great shot at a 10. It's very hard to gem up. I know, but uh no touches on the back. it it really looked great. And the front is nicely centered. So, uh I will be keeping this and maybe crack it out down the road and give it a shot at that 10. So, got a nine on the Pikachu. A nine is still a solid grade for sure. I love this card. The Rayquaza V-Max out of Silver Tempest. Sword and Shield era. Love the artwork. It's a really popular Pokemon, so it sells really well. I got gem 10. Yeah, it looks great. All right, next up we got a thunderous. This is a black star promo. You get them out of the ETBs and this is important because this is a Pokemon Center ETB. So you can see with that logo right there and those demand command a lot more money compared to the ones without those stamps. So look for those at card shows. So this thunderous got a gem at 10. Nice grade. I bet this is 120 140 buck card somewhere around there. Next up we have an S. Not a big S, but SS are extremely hard to pull nowadays, I think, in my opinion. So this is at a mega evolution. Wallally's compassion. The trainer ss don't sell for as much most of the time. So yeah, got Gem 10. It looked great. Flawless. And I've noticed on the Mega Evolution sets so far, the quality control is better, especially on the back. Less chipping. So you're going to see more tens, I'm sure. All right, next up, we got a Reggie Drago Sword and Shield era, Silver Tempest. I like it a lot. Got Jim Mint 10. Probably around a 70 80 buck card somewhere around there. It's cool looking out of 10. Got a 10. Next it looks like we have a melodic. The artwork's incredible and I can't believe it, but you can buy this card raw. I think for around five or six bucks. It's also out of silver tempest. I didn't realize I had so much Silver Tempest. Sword and Shield era card. These uh Trainer Gallery cards are harder to gem up in my opinion. They remind me a lot of Scarlet and Violet era illustration rares because you get some chipping and centering issues, stuff like that. So, gem it there. And next up, we got a Braxen. I thought this one was clean. I thought it had a great 10 shot, but can't jam everyone. That looks good. Also out of silver tempest mint nine on that one. Next up we have I love this card. Machamp. This is out of Astral Radiance. Got a mint nine. If I remember correctly, it had a shot at a 10. I'm going to take a closer look. I definitely keep the ones that I think could get tens down the road because, you know, the price gap is significant and worth giving it another shot down the road. All right, so go mint nine there. All right, the next one is a big one, probably the biggest in the order. It's a make orb breakak order type of card, and it is a crackout. So I will show you what it is and go from there. So it's a Charizard V and this is out of Brilliant Stars Sword and Shield era card. It's the chase of the set. It's just beautiful. Charizard extremely popular character. So uh I bought it as a Becket 9. And if you look closely at the subgrades, everything's good except for the centering. Gives an 8.5. I know centering of Pokemon cards and this was not an 85. It looks great. So I I snatched it up. I bought it in the hopes of cracking out and it looked great. We will see if PSA agrees and if the centering is within tolerance of a 10. Okay, here we go. 10. So this is this is a big card. Uh I was actually upcharged. Got the upcharge email. So very happy. I bet it's what a $7800 card in a 10. It's a big upswing from a PGS9. And the back was flawless. Not one touch or anything like that. So, I'm so glad so glad I got there. Gem 10. All right, we have a Reicho V. I love this card. I love the artwork. It's out of Crown Zenith. Probably my favorite Pokemon set of all time. Got a mint nine. It had a shot at a 10, but I'm I'd rather hit the 10 on the Charizard, so I'm okay with this. Got a mint nine. Next up, we have a Garganle. So, it's a newer illustration rare. And especially nowadays with the uh fee increase, it's $25 to grade Pokemon cards. You would never send this card in. Don't send this card in because it's probably only a 30 $40 card. illustration rare and you can buy it raw for like a buck. But for some reason, I like it. I like the artwork. I like the colors. So, I just went ahead and graded it. It looked great. Got the 10. Next up, another silver Tempest. Jinx. It's kind of a ridiculous Pokemon character, but uh I like grading it every once in a while, and this one was really clean. Trainer Gallery. If you can get a 10 in trainer gallery, I say go for it. There you go. [snorts] Next up, we have an Impolon set of battle styles. Not my favorite set from Sword and Shield era, but I thought this was a cool card. Got a mint nine. This one, uh, yeah, this I can see a mint n on this one. You you see how thick it is on the bottom compared to the top. So, I get that. I get that grade. Next up, we have a newer card, Mega Evolution. We got Lily's Determination. There's an SR Lily Determination, but this is just the kind of ultra rare full art. Still pretty good value. Lily is a popular Pokemon trainer. So, there you go. Gem in 10. And the next one is also a big one, but only if you get a 10, cuz it's actually pretty low pop for Pokemon. Trust me, I'll throw up that number right there. And I was shocked. Uh I think PSA offered 320. I didn't know it was such a valuable card. You can buy it raw for around 15 nowadays. And but makes it important is it's the box topper. So you got one of these when you bought a Mega Evolution booster box, 36 packs. This was on top. and it has the mega evolution stamp. You can also get this card out of the set as an IR, but it won't have that stamp. So, I think those sell for around 100 if you get Gem 10 without the stamp, but important to know the distinction because there is good value to this card. Jim 10. Very happy with that. Next up, we got a Clawser. Another IR you can get for a dollar. Uh, so if I'm going to miss, I'm glad I missed on this card. You got a mint nine for some reason. Uh, I'm okay with that. This is really stupid of me to grade, but at the time it was only $18.99 per card for this order. But like I said, like the Garganle, do not send this in nowadays. In a 10, it's probably only 30 bucks. So, mint n on that. We're cruising. We got a Shuckle. We actually have two of them. So, I I like this artwork. And I think when the set came out, they were around 10 to 15 bucks each for this IR, but now they're down. You can get them to like three to five bucks. Uh, so gem meant 10 on one of them and a nine on the other. Both look the exact same to me, but that is okay. 10 nine. We got a Reggie Gigas out of Crown Zenith. Underrated card. Slept on. You can get it raw for like 12 bucks. Jamint 10. I I have no idea why I graded this air balloon. It's It's not [laughter] going to have too much value. I Maybe I was just filling out the order. I have no idea, but I sent it in and I got a 10. Or maybe I was like pack pulled. You're always more willing to send in the cards you you pulled yourself cuz you want to maximize the value of what you pulled cuz it's hard to get that money back opening product, you know. Jim 10 on the air balloon. Next we have a Marip out of Crown Zenith. It's a gallerian gallery. hard to jam up. This card is part of a bigger connecting art with uh eight other cards in the set. It's pretty cool to connect them all together. So, gem at 10 on the Marie. Be fun to own all of them in 10. We got a Chimeco. This is out of Twilight Masquerade. Twilight Masquerade is one of the sets my son and I created a master set of uh, of course, the Greninja in that set is just spectacular. I love the artwork. That's kind of why I built the Twilight Masquerade set. So, Gem Mint 10 on this one. Not a big IR, but cool looking 10. And we're going to end on a bad grade. That's okay. Thunderous. And it was actually the version without the Pokemon center stamp. So, I hit on the right one. Got a mint nine on this one. Probably only a eight to$10 card in a nine. So there you go. I hope you learned a little bit about Pokemon from my reveal or just had fun looking at the cards. And I'll be back with probably a sports card reveal very soon. Thanks everyone for watching. Hope everyone has a great day.
