This shiny beauty comes straight from the iconic Scarlet & Violet Paradox Rift Pokmon card set
Sheeshhh Self-graded a whole 300+ card set seems crazy to graded card collectors, but for this one its pretty reasonable given the conditions: Modern Japanese cards are easier to get 10s from the start Im able to visit local card shops and pick the cards myself The cards were just released or still printing, so there are plenty of stock in stores for hand-picking Nobodys fighting you over the cards in shops - grading was less known in Japan when I started, so there were very few individuals/stores scooping up large quantities of chase cards and submit them, leaving only bad-conditioned cards in shops (this was how Irida got to PSAs top 10 list last April) PSA had quality issues in 2020 when theyre rapidly expanding to deal with market needs, and Id been getting cards with plastic shards inside frequently and even cards creased by slab edges
If you've never played the Pokmon TCG before or a lapsed player, then using a rental deck is a great way to learn how the game works
Deadly Rollick Deadly Rollick is the first of the Commander free spells (two of the cycle didnt make the cut)
Near Mint cards may have small nicks or chips around the corners and edges or slight surface scratches
These gold-foiled, holographic cards are rare and often valuable, which means that fake gold cards can be pretty common
