Hey! First off, sending love from Scotland! I found your channel as I was looking for Garbage Pail Kids content. I’m 45 and my pal wanted me to start collecting pokemon cards as he’s a collector. So I have done but my heart lies with GPK for pure nostalgia! All the best buddy 👍🏻

You probably didn't remove the gum residue from the cards. 20% of 3rd series cards were at the top of the pack and have gum residue that's hard to see with the naked eye. You need to look at the surface with a light reflection to see it. You need to remove it carefully or you'll probably score no better than 6. Otherwise the score could be from surface dents that aren't visible until you shine light on the surface. Or bad focus, many garbage pail kids printed slightly out of focus which hurts the grade.
@thesandiegoupcycler258610 күн бұрын
My 3rd series cards came from cello packs (no gum). But, you are right it is probably still surface issue and print defects like focus
@bradfordhunter813210 күн бұрын
Yes, you need to look at the surface very carefully with a relection on the card. Even a slight bend or ding can dramatically lower the score. Youll never see 3d damage just looking straight on. Always do a front and back surface check prior to submitting the card for grading. Cards can get damaged in the packs.@thesandiegoupcycler2586

Topps front loads the initial release print with better autos and parallels so the hype builds. Subsequent restock/waives of this product will likely have far fewer worthwhile hits per pack/box.

Stratospheric Star values are odd, given how tough they are. Then, more bafflingly, Topps decided to make them much more common in Update Chrome. Congrats on the Skenes stack. I also would prefer a stack of Merrill parallels, but long term; for short term, Skenes works better for selling. What an insane case!

If it is ultramodern and you really feel strongly that it could/should be a 10, then yes. If you dig back through my old videos I've done some experiments cracking and resending PSA cards and found that a decent percentage of resubs get bumped to a 10 (I even cracked a 6 and got back a 10 once)
