How to Grade Pokemon Cards Properly
Grading Pokemon cards is like giving them a health check-up before deciding their place in the world. You gotta check for any scratches, bends, or whitening around the edges. The card's centering is super important too - make sure the art is smack dab in the middle! A magnifying glass is your BFF here to spot those almost invisible flaws. If you're serious, consider sending your best cards to professional grading services like PSA, Beckett, or CGC. They'll give your card a grade from 1 to 10, and that shiny PSA 10 could mean big bucks!

Just eye it, honestly. If the card looks good, it's probably fine. Who's got time for magnifying glasses?
Sent my rare Charizard to PSA and it came back a 10 - the value skyrocketed! Definitely worth getting them professionally graded if you think you've got a gem.
