TCG fan devasted after pulling rare but damaged Pokemon card PokemonA TCG player who pulled a damaged Pokemon card worth $600 from a bent pack was given sage advice by the Reddit community. Damaged Pokemon TCG cards can still be worth a lot of money, especially if they\u2019re known misprints. However, one fan was devastated after realizing his rare Umbreon VMAX had a bent corner. Umbreon is a highly collectible evolution of Eevee, and this Umbreon Vmax fetches prices of over $600, ungraded. So, after seeing the damage, they immediately took to Reddit with the question, \u201cWhat can I do with it?\u201d Can you fix damaged Pokemon TCG cards? Depending on the kind of damage, some collectors try to fix their damaged Pokemon cards by placing them in a heavy book with some weight stacked on top. A lot of Pokemon TCG grading companies won\u2019t mind receiving bent and curved cards. One comment even told the original user, \u201cGrade it, that\u2019s the type of shit PSA slaps a 10 on.\u201d However, not everyone was quite as optimistic. Off the bat, one Pokemon TCG fan offered the original commenter money for the card, jokingly saying, \u201c50 bucks or just keep it; I can\u2019t fix that.\u201d Another comment told him to \u201cweep\u201d over the damaged Pokemon card, while another Reddit user explained that they didn\u2019t believe \u201cfor 1 minute that Pok\u00e9mon would replace this card.\u201d. Someone else suggested they could email The Pokemon Company International, who would let them choose from a \u201cset list\u201d but, that they would not receive the \u201cexact card that\u2019s damaged [Umbreon].\u201d The top comment suggested selling the damaged Pokemon card on eBay and then using \u201cthe money towards buying a nicer one\u201d as the replacement program waiting times range from \u201c2 years to\u2026 forever.\u201d One writer put in the research: \u201cDamaged still goes for ~$400, so still a great pull!\u201d he said, adding that the Moonbreon would \u201cprobably be an easy sell since you can\u2019t really tell from the front.\u201d Although TPCI recommends first getting in touch with the retailer that sold you the cards, they do also offer a card replacement program, you can submit a ticket via their support desk.
