hi everyone, i just pulled this sylveon SIR yesterday (my fifth pack ever! def beginners luck…) and i’m always so terrible at telling whether the centering is good. is it worth getting graded? i’m prob gonna keep it because it’s such a pretty card but just wondering 😚
also! wondering whether the card sleeves that come in the ETB are okay to store it in? i’m getting a toploader from a friend but i don’t want the sleeve to hurt the card or anything! thanks 💗💗

Centering looks good! But definitely get a penny sleeve!!
looks ever so slightly bottom heavy, but sometimes cards like that still can get a 10, more depends on luck and if there’s no dents, which brings me to the sleeves. any sleeve is better than no sleeve, and the ETB ones are fine, but getting a perfect fit one from somewhere like dragon shield or your local LGS would be more ideal
Nice card! Centering looks excellent, well balanced on all sides (maybe a little too much on the underside). Edges are clean with no whitening visible. Corners are sharp, though the top right may be slightly soft. The surface shows some light foil texture, but no scratches, dents, or print defects are visible.
Try not to squeeze the card, when holding it like this. (And what others said, sleeve it (in pennysleeves, not those ETB sleeves)
