Pokémon Card Deal Report

A heavily played, creased and delaminating Rayquaza VMAX alt art with major edge and corner damage front and back — a clear PSA 1 (damaged) card, buy only if you want it as a filler/reader copy. Flags: multiple deep creases across front holo; heavy edge whitening and fraying on all four back edges; layer separation/delamination along back edges and corners; rounded/damaged corners; seller labeled listing DMG (damaged)

A genuine Unlimited Base Set Charizard but heavily creased, scratched and frayed — a damaged filler copy worth grading only for the name, likely PSA 1-1.5. Flags: multiple hard creases across front and back; corner fraying and layer separation; heavy edge whitening all around; heavy holo scratching; played/damaged condition

A genuine Champions Path secret rainbow Charizard VMAX with light corner/edge whitening likely landing in the PSA 5-7 range. Flags: whitening on back left edge and corners; surface haze on front

A genuine Brilliant Stars Charizard V alt art but a self-described moderate-play copy with edge/corner whitening and a possible center crease — a mid-grade playable, not an investment card. Flags: seller-disclosed 'MODERATE PLAY'; possible bend/crease line across center; edge whitening visible on black borders; corner whitening top corners; back never shown — cannot verify back centering or wear

A clean, sharp Charizard — but note it is the 2022 Celebrations reprint, not a vintage 1999 Base Set, likely grading PSA 8-9. Flags: ©2022 copyright line — this is a Celebrations Classic Collection reprint, NOT the original 1999 Base Set card the title implies

A clean-presenting Giratina V alt art with both sides shown and no obvious damage, but soft photos and no corner/edge close-ups mean edge whitening on the silver border can't be ruled out — realistically an 8. Flags: no close-up macro of corners or edges — defects could be hidden; silver-bordered alt art shows whitening easily and cannot be ruled out; soft/blurry photos limit corner and edge verification

1999 Base Set Unlimited Charizard with off-center front, visible holo scratching, and no back shown - a mid-grade played copy, realistically PSA 5-7. Flags: holo surface scratching visible; off-center ~60/40; back never shown; corner softness; 1999 Base Set Unlimited (shadowed, Wizards) - not 1st edition

A clean-looking Gengar VMAX alt art with sharp corners and a tidy surface, but slightly off back centering and no close-up of the top edges/corners keep it a cautious PSA 7-8. Flags: back centering slightly off (narrow top border); top corners and side/top edges not shown close-up; 'E' edition code by set number (still an English-text card)

A vintage Base Set Charizard shown front-only with holo scuffing and soft corners, roughly PSA 4-6 pending a back photo. Flags: front-only photo (no back shown); surface scuffing on holo; glare from sleeve/toploader; genuine 1999 Wizards Base Set

A Charizard VMAX secret rainbow shown only in one dark, blurry photo — condition unverifiable, buy with caution. Flags: single dark blurry front-only photo; no back shown; condition cannot be verified

A clean-looking English Gengar VMAX alt art with decent front centering and no obvious damage, but the soft photos hide the corners/edges and the back looks slightly off-center, so budget for a PSA 7-8. Flags: blurry/soft photos limit corner and edge verification; back centering appears slightly off (left border thicker); photo 00 has a yellow sleeve/glare edge that is not card damage; full-art black borders are prone to hidden edge whitening

A Charizard VMAX secret rainbow shown only in one blurry sleeved photo — condition cannot be confirmed. Flags: single blurry front-only photo in sleeve; no back shown; condition unverifiable

Genuine Unlimited Charizard but well-worn — a visible crease through the holo plus heavy back-corner and edge fraying put it in the PSA 2-4 range. Flags: vertical crease/bend line through top border and holo; heavy whitening and fraying on back bottom-left corner and edges; genuine English Base Set Unlimited (real blue Pokeball back confirmed)

A sharp Gengar VMAX alt-art secret rare that looks near-mint, but slightly off-center backs and soft photos of the whitening-prone silver edges cap it around 7-8. Flags: back centering slightly bottom-heavy; silver-edge whitening can't be ruled out from soft photos; shown loose out of holder for 2 of 4 shots

A genuine unlimited Base Set Charizard with off-center back, holo scratches and a possible crease line, grading well below the 'EXC' the listing claims. Flags: back is off-center; possible crease/vertical line on back left; holo scratching on front; listed as EXC but presents more like a played copy

A genuine Unlimited Base Set Charizard in mid-grade shape — decent corners and edges but noticeable holo scratching keeps it in the PSA 5-7 range. Flags: light holo scratching across the foil; minor corner softening; slight edge whitening

A genuine but heavily creased and scratched 1999 Base Set Charizard beater that would grade PSA 1-2. Flags: heavy creasing front and back; deep holo scratches; whitening on all corners and edges; genuine 1999 Wizards Base Set Unlimited

A Shining Fates (mislabeled) Charizard VMAX with heavy back edge damage and front creasing, grading around PSA 2-4. Flags: heavy whitening/chipping on back right edge and corners; surface scratches and bend on front; listing title says Champions Path 74/73 but this is actually Shining Fates SV107/SV122

A genuine Unlimited Base Set Charizard shown front and back with only light wear — corner and edge whitening plus slight off-centering put it around PSA 5-7. Flags: whitening on top-right corner; light edge whitening along top; light holo scratching; slightly off-center

A genuine English Gengar VMAX alt-art secret rare that photographs clean but is shown only in a single distant front shot through a sleeve — no back, corners, or edges verifiable, so buy with caution. Flags: only one photo (front only); back never shown; card is inside a sleeve/toploader making corners and edges unverifiable; holo glare hides surface condition

This is a gold/metal novelty fake — the blank embossed metallic back confirms it is not an authentic card and PSA would not grade it. Flags: COUNTERFEIT/NOVELTY: blank embossed metallic back, not a genuine Pokemon TCG card; not gradeable by PSA

A clean, glossy Shining Fates (mislabeled) Charizard VMAX rainbow that presents as near-mint, likely PSA 7-8. Flags: listing title says Champions Path 74/73 but this is actually Shining Fates SV107/SV122

A clean, well-centered English Charizard V alt art with sharp visible corners and no surface flaws, but with no back shown it's a likely PSA 8 (possible 9) that a buyer should confirm on the reverse before paying a gem-mint price. Flags: back never shown (centering/edges/corners on reverse unverified); bottom-left corner not shown close-up

A genuine unlimited Base Set Charizard honestly listed as LP/MP — off-center back, edge whitening and holo scratches put it firmly in the played, low-to-mid grade range. Flags: back off-center (thin top border); edge whitening on back; holo scratching; listed honestly as LP/MP

This is a gold metal novelty/replica, not a real WOTC Charizard — it has no collectible grade and PSA will not authenticate or grade it. Flags: NOT a genuine Pokemon card — gold-plated metal/foil novelty replica; not authentic and not gradable by PSA; only one photo, front only, no back shown; 'Pokemon Power' printed without accent, wrong art style — clear fake tell

A restored/altered Unlimited Base Set Charizard 4/102 with visible recoloring and heavy corner wear at top-left — PSA would flag it as Altered rather than assign a numeric grade, so it's a filler/reader's copy, not an investment piece. Flags: LISTING SELF-DECLARED 'RESTORED' — card is altered; restoration/recoloring visible at top-left corner and border; heavy corner whitening/fraying top-left; edge whitening front; holo scratches; PSA would deem this ALTERED / not gradable (no numeric grade)

A clean-looking English Gengar VMAX alt art that photographs well, but the soft, distant back shot means you're trusting it for edge wear, so cap expectations around an 8. Flags: back photo is blurry and shot at a distance, hiding possible edge/corner wear; no close-up coverage of any corner or edge

Genuine English Giratina V Lost Origin alt art honestly listed as LP — visible back edge whitening and off-center back point to a PSA 5-6. Flags: seller lists as LP (lightly played); edge whitening on back right/bottom edges; off-center back; front surface obscured by glare

A Spanish-language Rayquaza VMAX alt art that looks presentable but is photographed too poorly to confirm corner, edge and surface condition — buy assuming risk. Flags: Spanish-language print (Evoluciona de Rayquaza V / Habilidad / Pulso Celeste); all photos out of focus and shot at an angle; condition cannot be reliably verified
