How do you grade your Pokemon cards?
Grading Pokemon cards is all about checking their condition and authenticity. You gotta look for scratches, bends, and any wear on the edges. The centering of the image on the card is also key. If you think you've got a card in prime condition, consider sending it to a professional grading service like PSA, Beckett, or CGC. They'll give it a thorough evaluation and assign it a grade that reflects its condition and overall quality. This can significantly affect the card's value!

Just eyeball it. If it looks pretty and shiny, it's probably good.
Been collecting for years and it's always been about the details. Check for whitening on the edges, any surface scratches, and how well the card is centered. A magnifying glass helps. Then, if you're serious, send it to a pro grader. They use a 10-point scale where a 10 means the card is practically perfect. It's a bit of an investment, but for valuable cards, it's worth it.
