ShaneMiller2023 Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Hello, I took these rare Pokémon in lieu of pressing charges against a multi millionaire. I need to have them graded as although I’m a collector, I’m much more a sports cards rather than Pokémon cards collector. I’ve had multiple shop owners from Portland, OR and North Idaho inspect the validity of the cards and all of them have verified they are real and authentic and I need to have them graded in order to sell them for their worth. Can someone please help me? Attached are the pictures. Sorry for any glares. Happy to submit more pictures upon request. Thank you! PS it’s only allowing two pictures instead of four. I also have Mewtew and Blastoise. Shane M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShaneMiller2023 Posted March 28, 2023 Author Share Posted March 28, 2023 I’m hesitant to do it just because I know the value of the cards…if these weren’t 1st editions I would feel differently but what’s stopping someone (not accusing, just thinking) from taking a look at the cards once they are sent and swapping them out for a similar, fake card? I know the Charizard alone has been appraised for 4K while another appraiser said minimum 5K. It makes me worried. Any chance you can reaffirm the grading process with a guarantee? I’d love to get these graded and sold. Thanks! Shane Miller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator KaileeS CS Posted March 28, 2023 Administrator Share Posted March 28, 2023 Hi @ShaneMiller2023, we completely understand your worries, those are some fairly expensive cards! We can assure you that your cards would be in good hands though. We have security cameras throughout the entire grading process. The receivers and graders have cameras above their desks, there are cameras in the hallways between each process your card will go through. We even have a security guard that checks our employees before they come into the building. With all that said, we take the security of your collectible extremely seriously, and you can be sure that it will be safe with us. Please let us know if you have any additional questions. Thank you!
