Finally, the cards sent to PSA came back to me. It turned out a little worse than I thought, but it's not bad for the first time, although I have mixed feelings because the Charizard case came back with a crack. I'm still considering pikachu, it looks very clean to me, the centering is just a bit poor. I don't understand lugia and gengar either, lugia looks much worse and there's only a 1 grade difference

Today I went to a flea market and finally, I think I managed to get a great deal :) The guy was selling several items, he was def not a pokemon collector and he had an old binder stuffed with pokemon cards. In total about 300 cards. Conditions were from NM to PL, but I saw some really nice cards. I have added a picture with the best cards, and besides these cards I think I have about 50 holos and reverse holos and the rest is for my daughters :) I checked them all with a flashlight, so just checking...10 euro's is a great deal right?!

Hello, today I did something that (I hope) adds value to my collection, for the first time in my life I sent 9 cards to PSA for grading. I did it through Dave & Adam's Europe in Roermond. Has anyone ever sent cards through them?

As we all are collectors, perhaps it is also fun to show your latest purchase (and the reason for the purchase should you want to tell it). Of course as I start this topic, I will go first. I just won two champion festival cards at auction. Both in PSA9 and both cards are Korean. Why Korean? Basically the English and Japanese cards are so expensive, that they are out of my league. And yes they are a better investment, but I just wanted to add a version of these cards to my collection and the language is not important.
