    While I appreciate you adding the card values, what I would really like to see is a PSA returns video where you compare the value after grading to the value of all of the raw cards. Yea your cards are worth $5k+ after grading, but what were they worth in near mint raw condition? Did grading your cards add more than $1,000 in value to them? In this video I would guess the answer is yes, but I would really like to see someone make this kind of comparison video!

      Also in general, how much did the cards cost when he bought them, + the grading, and then we see the actual ROAS of this.
      Now we see 1000$ grading fee against the graded value which is a great ROAS, but a lot of those cards were probably on the minus side thanks to grading costing 20 already and then the unnamed price of the card when he bought it.

    • @R9TR0

      @JewJitSuSixty9 2 роки тому

      I see what you mean but grading your cards adds so much more value than what it would cost raw. Even the ones that were only $40-$50 would only cost $5-$15 raw. I do like the idea but grading your cards will always add a significant amount more

    Incredible cards. Congratulations on hitting the 10 on some of these beautiful Naoki Saito illustrations especially the Reshiram & Zekrom GX full art. I pulled the hyper rare version, still need to pick up the regular full art. Also one of my fav cards and Naoki Saito is definitely my favorite of all the Pokemon artists as well.

    $5,880 after spending $1,000 to grade = $4,880…. Now, the real question is, how much did you purchase the raw lot (pre graded) for? That would help get a better idea of how much “value” you have increased…(ROI)

  • @RegioSubliminal86
    @RegioSubliminal86 2 роки тому +1

    One thing I dislike about this hobby is people making statements about what should and shouldn’t be graded. Not everyone has the money to buy and grade expensive cards and others, like yourself, collect one specific character. Grading is open to whoever and for the most part, whatever card you want.
    If you are looking for monetary benefits it will not work out. But if you want to grade it because you like the card. Then by all means grade and collect. It’s your money.
    Appreciate your content. Happy collecting

I'm really curious if you're still picking up any new promo japanese Pikachu's also. I heard you talk about mischievous Pichu, but was wondering if there are any more you think will grow in value in the future.

      @coolyeh1017 2 роки тому +2

      It is a valid worry, however, I highly doubt PSA would damage its brand and image by doing that. There may be individual bad actors that are employed by PSA that might do that, but fortunately, there is customer service for that and they will get on that employee's case. However, I suggest having proof of the original card (vids, pics, etc.)

    • @JohnC9392-0
      @JohnC9392-0 2 роки тому

    • @kid_gen
      @kid_gen 2 роки тому

      Being concerned about damage is a legitimate concern. I've received a PSA 10 card that was damaged after going through the slab process because of the way the machine vibrates that they use to seal the slab. Take pictures of your cards before sending them off for peace of mind. I highly doubt Jake sent in that Rayquaza with chipping at the top of the front of the card; it would be obvious to anyone collector that sends their cards in for grading.

    Sorry, I am new to the Pokemon TCG Community. May I ask why you have started collecting trainer cards starting from the year 2018? I am asking this because I wonder if this was a turning point for collectors to start collect trainer cards. In addition to this, I would like to ask if I should start collecting trainer cards in Japanese or in English language? - Which is more stable in terms of value?
    I would be very glad if someone could enlighten me on this, as I really would like to catch up to you folks. Many thanks in advance, and congrats for your very decent card collection!

    Regarding 14:26
    Hey Jake! I hope you can help me with this one: I'm trying to figure out for a long time now (since no one replies) where to sell 1st Edition 1999 Base Set cards best.
    They are graded with PSA and Beckett and I'm trying to find a good site for auctions.
    I'm in contact with Goldin Auctions and Iconic Auctions and I might go with Goldin Auctions.
    Or do you think Ebay will just do the trick since it's the most popular platform?
    Thank You so much in advance and have a nice weekend!!
    Best
    Dennis

      Majority of the time Ebay is going to be the go to for most cards, especially graded cards. Unless your area does card shows. Thatd be another option. Just my 2 sense, hope all goes well.

      Pull that trigger man. Look at the aweful centering on some of these PSA 10 cards. CGC 10 cards are TRULY perfect cards... CGC > PSA all day for me...

      They had a special during the national card convention. Could submit at $18 for a few weeks. They’ll probably have another special so just wait until then. Have to be a collector member or something tho

    Idount that you sent PSA your rayquaza Card like That… I also had issues with PSA when some cards were in a worse state when they came back. You can get a refund and extra money (for the damaged card) if you have video proof
