Is a Rainbow Charizard VMAX a PSA 10?

About the Rainbow Charizard VMAX

The 2020 Pokémon Shining Fates Charizard VMAX Rainbow SV107/SV122 is a 2020 Pokémon card from the ultra modern era. Modern Pokémon rainbow rares scratch easily. Even sealed-pack-pulled copies frequently grade 9.

What graders look for

Every grading company — PSA, BGS, SGC, and CGC — uses the same four sub-scores: centering, corners, edges, and surface. On this card specifically, watch for:

• Surface scratches (#1 issue)
• Centering
• Back whitening
• Edge chipping

Pro tip

Inspect the front surface at multiple angles before sleeving. A single scratch across the art destroys a PSA 10 candidate.

Should you send it in?

Before paying grading fees, scan the card with ID Grader to get an instant AI pre-grade across all four sub-scores. If the pre-grade comes back a confident 9.5 or 10, you probably have a submission candidate. If it comes back an 8 with any sub-score below a 9, you likely do better selling the card raw.
