    This submission was more or less a scientific experiment. I sent around 12 cards that I thought were clear 9's with a chance at scoring a 10.
    Then 7-8 cards I thought looked good enough to meet the parameters of grading a 10.
    I'll do a video for the next submission, as I inspect the cards I plan on sending.
    Overall, the total cost of raw + grading = $1422.
    As for the overall grades, the total number is $1566. It's def not good, but it's still $144 more dollars.
    Now that I know what to look for, the next submission should yield much better PSA 10 results.
    Thank you for watching!

      @aSoldierOfJesus I must have had the same grader from my last 3 submissions I've done. Either he/she hates Irish Italians, or this person hae something against the #10... smh

      @BoosterpackTCG I hear ya. Using GS is still a risk, but my last 2 submissions did come back in fairly decent time. It's best to take your mind off things for a few weeks. Once it hits processing, you're a few weeks away from getting your cards back. :)
      Which Lugia did you send?

    I feel like 85 percent of them were 10’s for sure.

      @aSoldierOfJesus Thank you, bro! I appreciate the love! I really tried my best not to get too angry at the grades. Funny thing is, I've seen 10's on every similar card I sent. I also saw 9's. As for the 8's, those grades were a joke.

      @grimmripper88 absolutely man kinda hard not to get upset when w have so much passion for Pokemon and the money spent to acquire these cards . what psa grading location did they go to?

      ​@aSoldierOfJesus Last 2 subs were very harsh. I'm guessing NJ, which is where I live. This facility here must be full of ex BGS graders. It's like they're grading each card to see if it's a black label 10 or 9.5. There's no on between.
      Most important is the corners. One or 2 small white specs with 60/40 centering is supposed to be a 10. But not with my last cpl submissions.
      I have to be more strict with what I send out.

    Psa scamming again, they should release some kind of video showing how they actually grade cards so we actually see the process. Or atleast some kind of paper should come with the graded cards explaining why the specific card graded like that. Man PSA is really something else lmao

    • @GrimmRipper88
      @GrimmRipper88  20 днів тому

      Wassup, Sadashi!
      Ya bro, I did my best to not be disappointed. I literally went through all my 10's and compared them to the 9's. If I cracked & sent all the 9's, I guarantee some will come back 10.
      The only way that number is lower is if their parameters changed that much. Meaning, if former bgs graders are now at PSA, those graders will ding u heavily for any white dots and slight off centering.
      Hope not, but this next submission will be different. I will inspect these cards better b4 sending.
      Expect that video soon!
      As always, ty for watching! 🤜🤛

    Why hide the reveals?

    • @GrimmRipper88
      @GrimmRipper88  19 днів тому +1

      I like to check the condition first before revealing the grade. It's a little habit of mine. 😂

    Sir I'm not fast forwarding, I come for the bitching 🤌
    Lil bummed on the Pika 9 but super happy with those other 10s being SIRs and I kno that Greninja is hard to grade
    So question, I kno some of the 9s are worth the same as raw and technically you lost money with the cost of grading but wont the 9s go up in value over time as the sets get older?
    Also you should do a video on cracking some

    • @GrimmRipper88
      @GrimmRipper88  19 днів тому +1

      😂 Ya bro I'm happy af the Greninja, Zapdos, & Durant got 10's. I've seen ppl send in 5-6 b4 hitting a 10.
      As for the 9's, some would be worth cracking to sell raw, others will do fine selling as 9's.
      And yep, everything appreciates over time. The 9's will go up when the raw prices start going up.
      Btw, did u send your cards out yet?!
