Giving the Pokemon, Sports and Trading Card communities a look inside PSA Professional Sports Authenticator and the process their cards go through by watching this old walkthrough video they created.

They missed the part where the graders get wasted and blind fold themselves before grading
Why do you say that? Is there some where else I should get my cards graded? I never done it before and idk where to go or what's the best way to go about it.
you must be talking about Beckett
Haha
@@jackofalltrades5904 mana grading!
@@jackofalltrades5904 it seems to be bgs or psa all the way, despite what people say, it's sorta silly to compare a company today to a video from the 90s since like every company operated in a shady way like this years ago, its no different to jeff bezos pretending he's the receptionist and the ceo, it was just the 90s and there was less regulation and care, but since anyone can go online now and leave bad reviews, screwing over 1 customer can actually rekt potential future business from other people, so companies give a lot more fks now
I think the dark rooms are because florescent lights can screw with filming. This isn't the highest quality production so the small desks and dark rooms may be for filming purposes.
I’ve been wondering about the process for a while now. Appreciate the vid
i thought this was the psa grading process. i did NOT realize it was a REACTION VIDEO of the grading process
Cool insight into how it was done. I'd like to think they've updated their techniques and procedures significantly by now.
But they haven’t
its still a process that will authenticate obvious fakes lol
@@bigmikeobama5314 not so sure about that. they just graded a machoke with a fake 1st edition stamp :D
@@demon__4399 someone was lazy 😉 XD
Not much to it
Honestly the music, the video resolution, the computer tech, and Desk Space! Bro it looks late 90s to early 2000s.
At 5:44 you can clearly see a fat screen monitor 😆 haha so yea I agree with you.
I mean the video is 12 years old. I doubt it’s similar to how it’s done today , wish they’d make an update video
This is extremely similar to other current grading companies so doubt it changed all that much.
I doubt they changed too much.
@@RattlePokemon SGC does high res imaging in both RGB and IR with a scanner. The IR imaging shows some faults you can't see easily with the naked eye. I wouldn't be surprised if PSA does something similar now (although also wouldn't be surprised if they haven't changed a thing)
Just based on almost no evidence or proof at all, based solely on my armchair critic amateur opinion, I'm gonna say they haven't changed at all in the past 12 years.
it could be worst-imagine being 1000 times busier
I've always wanted to see the process, thanks for this man!
99.99% he is talking 0.01% plays video
And?
Love all your videos and information. Your videos are very helpful to me. Super dope Investigation 🔎 skills also.
Without gloves the grader has tactile dexterity but it doesn't take much moisture to permanently damage a card. It's natural to sweat profusely when handling cards with 5 or 6 digit values as they often do at PSA. Any employee finger prints on our heirlooms can and will be used as evidence!
even without sweating some of those chrome cards show smudges very easily
I know this won’t be popular opinion. But I love CGC and I believe in their vision/direction over PSA!!!
A playmat would just end up being a cat fur collection point for me, plus my hits don't touch a desk or table, they go directly into a penny sleeve before being set down. They are then put into a top loader or card saver before being sorted and stored 👍
Awesome thanks for posting
This video makes logan Paul handling of cards seem like a expert.....
Background song makes me think I'm watching sienfield. Lol
Very interesting video, glad you got a hold of it and really appreciate you sharing this stuff. You raise a lot of interesting and valid points regarding the process. When are you starting a grading service? Or better yet get hired as QC for PSA
I would also add that it seems strange that during the sealing process they put the card in the PSA holder first, and not the sticker first. I say that because when you put the card in first, there's still a chance that the sticker could fall down onto the card and damage the card. we are dealing with human error here, and it's some thing I'm sure they've changed or at least I hope so.
Hard to say but you would think having the sonic welder closer to the encasing process would reduce a lot of accidental damage.
SGC does the same thing and it's odd considering the potential time savings and reduced likelihood of damage for very little investment.
I work with fine art, paintings sculpture and rare paper prints. When working with museums, it is always required to wear cotton gloves when handling artworks. Esp works on paper. Oils from skin damage paper
I've also seen plenty of people handle hundreds year old books and old historical documents with bare hands. Especially when the paper is fragile
right but this is not fine art-it's mass produced cardboard. Only the public has now perceived it as fine art-doesn't mean the graders {the inventors of this trick} agree.
4:10 Sorry but what you said here is completely false. You do want to wear gloves. However! You dont want to wear latex gloves. The gloves you should wear are clean COTTON gloves. This is especialy true for old texts. You wont see a museum employee handling genuine old texts without them.
So thats why half the cards that get sent out are graded 5 even if they are mint condition.
I sent a card back to be re-cased because it had lots of dust inside, I got it back and the dust was mostly gone but theres was a nice smudge now ... FML
...everyone expects to see their cards treated with silk gloves, but what can one expect for 10 $/card service where at least 5 people have to make a living out of it...
That and what sort of money does that allow for them to afford "experts".
people expect them to handle the cards like diamonds because the scam has worked and people now believe. The magician is very well paid.
This video looks like it was filmed in 2001 not 2009 lol Everything from the quality, editing, music, computer programs, etc.
Looks more like 94
"He resigned or retired, whatever you wanna call it" haha there's kind of a big difference.
That look like 90s- 20s old video to XD. Wish they change the light and computor when they grade ahah
16:33 when she counts the cards with an open biro. Yep, just gonna put a little annoying bit of biro ink on each of these slabs. Wow. just Wow.
Very intresting video. I would really like if you look into cardmarket grading and do a video like this on them. They are based in germany and licensed legal experts when it comes to giving values for collectibles.
I'm old school nothing but raw baby!
Binder sets, no regrets!
Personally myself I just penny sleeve, then straight into binder!
Many people waste their money by grading all their collection
Sadly, many collectible got damage on Grading Process
Super informative. I think you were being a little picky like with the dark room, maybe it was for production, or anonymity of the people in the video but i also dont collect cards so maybe all of this matters
Its the best way to see the cards surface try at home makes a huge difference
Didn’t mention anything about cards being in research and Id for 1 year haha
These were the good old days when they could at least get them back to you shortly after greasy fingering them.
Dude, I'm beginning to think "Research and ID" is their term for "LMAO wait another decade".
Your the man rattle keep up the good work ! 💎👑🔥
I’m here for those siq drum beats
So your hungover, and this is the "cart rolling in" video!? 🤣🤣🤣
Sadly, wasn't actually hungover for this one. lol
@@RattlePokemon I was just picking man loll
All the documentaries I've seen on ancient documents and books the person uses gloves. No one uses a tight or firm grip on the card or document that cares about damage, with or without gloves. Some popular person made this claim and many are just repeating the same. Maybe gloves are just too expensive for some.
Jamming music introduction loll
They edited the part where the card drops and dings a corner.
Just got THE MOST rattly slab Rattle. I cand believe PSA 🤦♂️
Based on the intro music I'm going to say 1996
I highly doubt this is still there process considering I’ve been waiting 18 months now for my cards to return from Psa 🥵
maybe now the just put them in a room marked 18 months and add up the millions of dollars for that month while smoking cigars and having orgies.
Got ‘em back now? 😅
It's because fools are sending worst less cards to psa for grading
@@blacksportsguruyup everybody grading everything now
🔥🔥
Or Maybe......? They're filming a commercial and only used the 1 lamp because it aesthetically looked better on film/video. 🤔🤔
Now because this is old footage, is the process still the same?
Probably very similar.
@@RattlePokemon I would think there are things they have changed in the past years
nice team rocket hat bro
Like Rutgers hat 👍
As a nurse you'd be surprised the dexterity you can master with gloves...cap
I believe it.
When you get used to it, the way the gloves pull and catch adds to the sensitivity in some eays
Lol 😂wow my teachers were hung over. Never knew 😮lol
And how many cards ship back with damage and finger prints?
Barely any…
The music sounds like music from Seinfeld episodes.
This is an advertisement for the company. They shadow the surrounding area and spotlite the importance focused in the middle, so that it is that ur eyes don't detours away from the selling points of the advertisement, which is the hands handle in precious merchandise by professionals. So they want u to see specifically the main process at hand to get u mezzmerised into getting ur card graded. Advertisement for 1990s at its finest. Soooo I doubt they have there lights off in reality. ;). Keep up the good work.
Yeah if psa is to stay a staple of card collectors they definitely need to lower cost. And show an updated version of grading process. I have lots of cards but I just don't send my personal cards to grading. I'll buy someone's card already graded.
This isn't done using a digital microscope and computer? It explains why grades for the same card change. This video has to be 20 years old.
That is what PSA want you to see. But I bet you dam well the grading process looks like a Chinese Factory, pumping out cards like crazy. Quantity before Quality... lol.
They must have not shown the 90 year old chinese woman who has cataracts grading the majority of the cards
1956 topps wont fit in a penny sleeve. its too long.
Would have been better if you just let it play didn’t need a naration every 2 seconds
Frr!
No lights on that helps get a good grade. The whole process is crap. I like the new memberships you join for a fee then they’ll have an event where you can submit cards for another huge cost that you don’t even know till the event happens. You pay $300 to get a card graded thats worth $200 after grading, sounds good. For all the money you should get a detailed list of each card grading.
How in the hell did you get 27K subscribers?!?!
quality of this PSA video looks like a late 90's resolution video/tv....look at the equipment, desks, computer models, tv heading etc. This probably is a old video of a PSA center. Not a recent one.
You think a PSA 8 gold star is worth it?
80-s? lol maybe 90s lol this shits wild
born in 91 lol so yea seems like 95 or like 93 lol the music is legendaryyyy
“Cayrd”
Psa was kinda ghetto back in the day 😅
My guess is begin of 2000. 2002-2004?
OMG, I find this very concerning, so basic, too much card handling. I can’t believe you got hold of this filming. By PSA being so slow and extremely costly they are allowing all the little guys to start there own grading Company. Here in the U.K. grading can be as cheap as £7 a card in bulk.
Even better and free, don't bother with grading. ;)
That video looks like its 25 years old, pretty sure they've updated everything by now
@@shakool2kool it's 13 years old
@@psychosious I'm sure they've updated the way they do things in the last 13 years.
@@illskilled1 ya think 🤔?
Why on earth don’t you have more subscribers
?
Someday!
Dude obviously has an agenda. I've watched 2 vids of yours (which will be the last) and it's clear you're very bitter towards PSA & grading in general. PS - pokemon is for nerds
Definitely pre-2009, lots of Dells with Windows XP lol
You aren't running a Dell on XP? Am I the only one?
thats an old ass video, i dont think right now they are doing the exact same as that
That music sounds like porn music no later than 1995
are you canadian
i heard you roll your rs in caurd
Yes
Video is over a decade old lol I doubt this is still the case especially since psa has been expendingbm
So it's just a bigger room with the lights off?
I didn't know about that about gloves.
But I wish you would have elaborated on the gloves. Like what type of gloves and how they can damage the cards.
But thank you for the information. I'll have to look into that.
the only case in which gloves make sense if if they are perfectly fitting, super thin and you get as close as possible to the touch and feel in your fingertips you would have with bare hands
I also want to use gloves bc Im afraid Ill leave some oil, body fluids or dirt on the cards but it seems to be a pain in the ass to find good gloves (Im buying very thin cotton gloves with very precise and small stitches at the fingertips)
but tbh most of the time I just leave them and use my clean hands but also clean my hands multiple times during the unpacking/sleeving process bc your body sweats always!
how i can sell my card in yugioh almost 22-24 years old are good condition all are 1st edition card
What would be the most accurate card grading would be a card machine that wouldn’t be biased in anyway in grading. Also, this stupid assumption if psa not being able to afford this or that is absurd considering they’ve been in business for 30 years and they are constantly back logged with card grading. Considering this is an old video of them grading, there process may have improved, but if they haven’t and they’re using yellow tint lighting to check your card, that would be scrary and i could see how that would impact an accurate grade on cards sent to them.
That company exists now, it's called TAG. They actually give you a report on why they graded a card the way they did, only 20 day turnaround time, $20 a card.
Lost respect for psa after seeing this
holy shit yap more and pause more.
please provide links to support the claim of handling without gloves is better vs with. (trust me bro sources are not valid IMO)
If they wore cloth gloves of a material that won't mess up the card would be better,
Video is from 90s, I'm sure it's weird to u in 2022 lmfao ..
0:49 1982…
6:15 no wonder everything’s a 9-10 grade. This video makes me feel even better about NOT grading my cards
I don’t get things graded.
Me neither but can't blame people if that's what they enjoy.
@RattlePokemon So, if you had a primo, very in demand card you thought there was a very realistic chance it was a PSA 10, and, if so, would be worth, say, $15,000+, and you wanted to sell it, you still wouldn't get it graded?
If that's the case, how would you go about getting anywhere near the amount of money you felt very strongly it was worth?
Then how do you get anywhere close to the right amount of money for a very valuable card you have?
I don't get things graded beacuse I can't afford it 😅
It's not about not being able to afford it. If it's not something you like, why spend money on that instead of cards? I know plenty of people with raw cards with values that dwarf graded collections.
“Check your p holes”
Gloves is not a myth, tf.
You're basing the PSA grading process from an investor video from the early 2010? Huh?
There's no way that video is from 2010...you sure
GSG is the way to go
In reality I can grade a card using a 500x magnification and centering too. And I'm no professional it's a joke
This is a grading room not surgery
pays better and doesn't require a doctorate.
Interesting view. So PSA is the best, eh?
theyre out here opening packs smh
Its a random person grading. Don't understand especially with PSA and PWCC bs going on
Bruh stop pausing the vid!!🤣
Wait did you just say that , people who deal with ancient scrolls an papper don't wear gloves ?? Lol did I hear you right ?
Yes, ask someone who handles old books.
@RattlePokemon I don't think he mentioned books , I think he said ancient documents , I also think that some one who handles old books would said to use fabric glove
I think they are too busy counting the enormous piles of cash they take in and have no time to grade cards fast enough. They have to make an extreme amount of money. They will never get any of mine though.
absofuckinglutely. The trick has worked. The pigeons have all bought in and now, we will make them pay more and more and we will reap the massive riches of this made up thing called grading.
Hmm
Learn to grade on a photo copy of a possibly photo of maybe a real card or multiple printings, or reliable not, or mostly fakes or involved on fakery for a number of sub or older acquired card houses.
I think PSA Grading is so overvalued
What about BGS?
@@Clovud This grading thing is so overvalued...all of them. The high prices for grading PSA and BGS makes the grading thing untenable, and so many got burnt. But BGS is fair in grading. I've seen so many PSA10s in eBay that I would not consider a 10 for me....can see obvious flaws.
Rolling the what in?
its probaly bad cause it was 2000 s
Why not just use a wax seal ?
