Potential risks of collection card identification |

by HobbyX店長 on November 11, 2022

It is often said that whether it is a game card or a player card, as long as you decide to collect it, you must take good care of it.

If you want to increase the value of the card, you must not be lazy, taking it for identification is indispensable. But everyone must pay attention to the risks in the identification process. If you are not familiar enough, you will spend more money and even waste time if you are not careful. The following are the details that everyone must pay attention to.

 

wrong first step

You must know that major appraisal companies such as PSA and BGS that are often mentioned are all from foreign countries. You need to fill out the form on the official website before sending it. And they usually provide customers with different kinds of services, so be very careful at this time, if you choose the wrong service, the identification result may not be what you expected. There is also a chance that a surcharge will be added at the end due to choosing the wrong service. So if you are a novice, you must do a good job in data collection, otherwise it will be easy to make mistakes when filling out the form.

Card not ready for authentication

I believe that all collectors have certain confidence in their own cards before taking them for identification. But everyone is not an appraisal expert, especially a novice. You may think that your card is well maintained, but if you only rely on your own eyes to make a visual inspection, you must be mentally prepared, and the resulting score may not be what you think. At this time, there is an opportunity to waste your efforts. Therefore, we need to use professional tools or search for professional opinions. It is the best guarantee to do a small preliminary evaluation before sending.

Collection cards disappear out of thin air

The biggest risk in identification is the loss of the card. There is a risk in always mailing, and the cards that everyone sends out are collection cards worth thousands of dollars every minute. If it is gone, it will definitely be several times the loss. That's right, the appraisal company will buy insurance for everyone. However, the compensation may not be 100% equal to the market value of the card, and sometimes we may not be the first to sell the card after it is appraised. Some collectors will still want to keep this card, and some may want to wait until the time comes and the value will increase again, so it will be very sad if it is lost in transit.

 

A team to help you reduce risk

Friends who know how to play cards are all card lovers, and they don't want to encounter the risks brought by identification, especially novices. Therefore, some card stores on the market will launch valet identification services, and collectors can take their cards for identification with more confidence. The valet identification service launched by HobbyX advocates starting from the perspective of customers.

First of all, HobbyX will first communicate with the customer to understand the results and purpose of the customer's appraisal, and then recommend a suitable appraisal company and appraisal package for the guest.

Second, HobbyX will provide customers with a pre-appraisal preview and evaluation, and use professional tools to make a preliminary appraisal of your card, so that guests can know the approximate level of their card. You no longer need to rely on the naked eye to estimate. Assuming that after the initial assessment, it is found that there are many problems in the original card, you can reconsider whether to authenticate or not. In this way, collectors can have a more reasonable expectation and budget for the real appraisal results.

Finally, solve the progress problem that everyone is most concerned about.
