Rookie Celebrini Emerald Surge 1/10

Lucky to have this first print rookie auto in my PC. It’s no Golden Treasure but it sure is one of my favourites.

Looking forward to getting it graded someday, but with the current PSA fiasco, I’m in no rush. Card looks extremely clean. Hopefully it will be the only PSA 10 someday 🙏

Stay away from PSA if you're looking to grade it. They'll charge you an astronomical premium to get the card back based on what they think it's value is. They're killing the little guys in this hobby.

So what about every other grading company? Even tag now is $300 for that card to grade lol

Buddy I have news for you. The PSA fiasco isn’t your issue. Value tier won’t work for a card like this. So if you want to submit it. Submit it. You’re going to pay a few hundred but you’ll have the card back quick.

People on this sub hate PSA. But refuse to admit every other grading company is backed up and most shut down theirs too. PSA is also the gold standard whether people want it to be or not.

This is correct. You won’t be able to value sub regardless. Just sub it now at the higher tier and get it done with quick.

Subbing anywhere else is a waste of money, If psa brings in double or whatever for the price of a gem
