some of my favourite people! ❤️
@@NerdAndProudOfIt ❤️ Extended Nerd family!
Thanks PCG for a great handling on my last grading. Took long time but was worth the wait. Merry Chrismas greetings from Finland.
Happy holidays!
Love Heiner and the guys, they're simply the best.
@@AVAUTV They really are and they are clearly committed and want to provide excellent service. 😉
41:00 oh no, i put my cards in perfect fits! 😭😭😭
Fingers crossed for low moisture then. It is only a problem if the card needs to expand due to humidity conditions.
Great interview! I just sent my first submission of Sorcery cards to PCG for grading.
Good luck! Once you start you won't stop :D Jens just sent his favorite Sorcery card (signed Amazon Warrior) to grading this weekend. It will probably get a horrible grade, since the edges are very poorly cut, but it will be a great way to take care of the card and give better opportunity to display it.
Great Q&A!
@@IneptCardCollector Thank you so much! 🤩 We really appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment! 🙏🏻❤️
Card packaging from is a drama too. 😂🤣😅😆😁
Not into grading cuz you can't play with them anymore... 😢
It sure can be :D
If you go all in you can get player slabs and then you can play your cards - in theory at least :D
Hoping to get some pulls worthy of grading in my first boxes I am working through currently :)
Fingers crossed! We are trying to manifest a foil Ring of Morrigan for you.
thank you sophie & jens for this informative video :-) unfortunately, PCG is one of my least fav grading company because of the slab appearance. Just for comparison, you could look at ARS in Japan, their slabs look very professional and pleasing to the eye. But to each their own
You're so welcome! Of course it is ultimately also a question of preference, but hopefully it was still interesting to hear about the process and measures behind the grades.
I've been asking PCG UK branch about AL curios and guilded foils but not had an answer back yet. Only a few are specified for AL as known cards. Even more of an issue is that it's not clear what label should be used for guilded foils. There is only one gilded foil graded by PCG at the moment and its using a "(Curio)" suffix. I wouldn't want my guilded foil card graded with "(Curio)" suffix if PCG is going to change that later with "Guilded Foil" suffix or something else?
Have you tried reaching out to the German Branch, which Heiner is managing? He might be able to give you more insigts into the different labelings.
