I wouldn’t be handling that without gloves. But, that is just me. Some serious coin here if real.
Penny sleeve
And Top loader
ASAP
Warp doesn’t matter if you grade it from my understanding. Thing looks clean. Congrats.
I usually laugh at people who open packs while wearing gloves. In this situation, I feel gloves are necessary.
My lord… penny sleeve this, put it into a rigid protector, maybe put it then under a stack of books to ease the bend.
I think warping can be fixed but you need to put protection on that card like 20 years ago
Warping shouldn’t matter for grading and it can be flattened if you really want but I would get it in a sleeve immediately. Please don’t send this in through GameStop.
Get it graded youre looking at close to or around 20k right there
If this gets a solid grade you can buy a house
Dad is still around? Make sure you take care of him.
I’d ask why you’re shaking but I know
DO NOT consider any offers in DM’s send that to be graded and list on eBay after. People will be trying to steal that from you.
Put it between two bibles, the word of the Lord will straighten it out.
In that condition you’re holding about $15,000 in your fingers, possibly higher. One accidental slip up or scratch can drop it below $5,000 instantly
Stop handling it and keep it in a protected sleeve
Stop touching with your fingers
I swear I had cards like this when I was younger 😭
You got the shakes my guy
Please stop touching a first edition Charizard with your barehands
Congrats!!! your dad won the pokemon lottery
Id personally fly out to the grading company and hand it to them and wait rather than sending it in.
Put it in a penny sleeve (NOT a perfect fit), then in a top loader, then get it graded. This is a relic. If the grade is high enough you should consult a lawyer and an accountant if you plan to sell it. Seriously.
Warp doesnt matter. Put it in a sleeve and a toploader and stop handling it. Thats worth a car, if not more.
My biggest regret in life. No clue where my binder of cards went. Started collecting religiously in 1999 as a 5th grader and had every 1st generation card and holo… 2 Charizards, 2 Blastoise, 3 Venusaurs, 2 Chanceys… I had everything. Complete Jungle and Fossil collections, all the birds, all the Eevees, the promo Heiroglyphic Mew, name a card, I pretty much had it. All in penny sleeves and in a binder. Hundreds of cards.
No idea where they went. Not sure if I took them to college or what. It makes me sick to my stomach.
I hope whoever found them needs them.
Nice, yeah looks in good condition. Depending on PSA and how the grader feels at the time (most of them will give you a harsh grade for OG cards, allegedly) you might have to prepare yourself to regrade it again
IMO if you aren’t going to drop it off personally… I would suggest not even grading it unless you plan to sell it.
Maybe you want to display it but from the headaches of PSA losing it… The shipping companies are losing it.. idk.
Congrats either way though !
Wish I had Pokemon cards to inherit, heck I’d settle for anything but at least I have a healthy kid and happy wife! 😁
Holding a potentially 250k card in your hands like that is scaring me
Bare handing a 1st edition Shadowless Zard in the big 25′ is KRAZY
Immediately, penny sleeve -> toploader, do not handle this unless you wash your hands or wear gloves and have a good reason to do so
Keep it secret, keep it safe
Do your research and then decide next steps, ignore all DMs and any unsolicited offers
Pretty crazy manhandling that card like that
“According to you guys” while holds up 1st ed zard. Man reddit is getting lame. Any real posts anymore?
Put it in a sleeve you madman
