Grade Your Error Cards
Misprint Error
A misprint or misaligned error will be awarded when the centering has gone beyond what is deemed acceptable under normal centering circumstances. Often with Pokemon, a black or white centering dot will be visible on one, if not multiple corners. Once the error has been identified, centering will not effect the overall grade. Thus meaning that a Gem-Mint 10 can still be achieved.

Error Card Grading FAQ's
The honest answer is, yes, sometimes. The higher the raw value a card has, the more likely that you will increase your cards value providing it grades ‘Near-Mint to Gem-Mint’. We always recommend grading cards that have a raw value of at least £40 if you wish to try and increase your cards value.
Yes, absolutely. If a card is authenticated, graded and protected, it will appeal much greater to potential buyers. Grading is proven to increase buyer confidence on the second hand collectors market.
Yes. Most collectors grade their cards purely to authenticate and preserve their cards current condition. Trading cards have proven to increase in value over time, so it makes sense to ensure your cards are fully protected from any future potential wear and tear. The difference in even the slightest minor flaw on a particular card can gravely affect the future overall value. So before you buy more cards, protect the ones you already have.
