These card grading companies are such scams it's truly unbelievable. They take so long to the point where you don't even remember what you sent in, and the results are obviously so fricken random... ugh it frustrates me what they've done to the card market and everyone just accepts it, shrugs their shoulders and sends in the next batch.
After receiving these last cards, I haven't sent anything in since. I waited months and months to feel beat up and paid $25 per submission, that hurt the wallet and the pride a bit. I'm with you on them though, so many new companies popping up and just randomly throwing out whatever numbers they're feeling in the moment. Uggh.
I just pulled diablo from Ursula’s return it look amazing and my local shop does submissions for us so I sent it in hopefully gets the 10! My card shop turn around is 45 days or less I got my last card back in 40 days so I can’t complain
That Stitch centering is terrible lol. No idea why they gave that a 10 and the Elsa a 9. Honestly the Stitch should be a 9 at most with the centering that off
@@Smash_Bro I agree 100% I thought Elsa would be a 10 and Stitch an 8/9 at best. The whole grading thing is just a toss up. I like that it protects the cards and keeps em safe, but the grades are just all over the place.
@@LivingLorcana Idk if bgs grades for lorcana but they show score for different catagories centering,corners, surface etc. PSA is the modt popular and with that i think their quality control went to the dumps.
@@lif3l3ssgaming I’ve noticed a LOT more cards showing up with BGS and CGC. It would be nice to see WHY exactly your card didn’t earn a 10, for personal reference at the very least. PSA has been a wild crapshoot
@@LivingLorcana all i know is bgs gives you an idea of why your card was graded in such a way. All i know now days is a BGS 9.5 is like a psa 10 and a BGS 10 sell for more than a psa 10 in most cases. The fact that psa charges more to score what is considered a higher value card leads me to believe it cant be trusted idk why the tgc seems so blind to what seems like sceemy practices. I believe its people who have so much money in getting their cards graded threw psa they dont want their value to drop so they so tend to ignore it for now.
@@lif3l3ssgaming I’m definitely going to switch things up and send a batch of cards in to another company. I’d be curious how they score and how their value changes. Should make for a fun video! I do have a friend in the TCG community who has strong opinions about grading companies and I tend to side with him.
For whatever reason, I always have this impression that they're super safe in those slabs and I get a tad reckless. They've been locked up in a safe and are now well... safe from me lol
@@LivingLorcanaa couple of months ago when I send my Elsa for grading I see a video that says that if you send a $1000 card to grade on the 25 Dlls price per grade they are going to graded it lower but if you go to the 75 Dlls grading where values is up to $ 150 they put a greater grade, so basically if you pay more they grade you more, ridiculous yeah but makes sense in terms of their company but overall I hate that is that way.

Great video. Regards from Spain.

40 days would be amazing! Mine were over 3 months to get back from the LGS here.

The only Enchanted that I have pulled as of right now is the Genie and Stitch from First Chapter. They are just sitting my set binder right now.
That Stitch was one of my biggest chase cards. Good pull!
For comic books, they send you an explanation of what they see. Do they not do that with cards?
They don't :( It's kind of annoying.

Your so Lucky- I only have Mickey Wayward Sorcerer "ungraded"
I'm kind of steering away from the grading after this. The money, the time it took and some of the results kind of pushed me in another direction.
Why do you slam the slabs around? Imagine slamming graded enchanted cards
For whatever reason, I always have this impression that they're super safe in those slabs and I get a tad reckless. They've been locked up in a safe and are now well... safe from me lol
The centering on the front of the Madam Mim is definitely slight off, look at the upper left hand corner.
Good call, I didn't even catch that.
I'd crack elsa and resend lol. Worth it to try and get a 10
That's what I'm thinking, she looks amazing. I can't see any issues with her.
