I love this format, you put it all in one video instead of making 2 videos and having your audience wait months for the returns. Gg my favorite slab unboxing ever.
I want to see more beat up cards get some love. I love collecting beat up cards because they are just silly to imagine that they were played with by once children. I sadly had my cards thrown away when i was a kid and now are worth a good amount but when looking back into getting some, i was happy with just the nostalgia
Another awesome video, Dylan! Have you considered grading companies that offer detailed grading reports? PSA dominates the Pokémon card world, but many videos suggest that the mood of the PSA grader can impact the grade you receive, and this might be the case with other grading companies as well. I’ve personally used CGC because I appreciate their slab designs and lower grading fees, but I'm now exploring TAG Grading for their detailed reports, which offer greater transparency. While TAG Grading is relatively new and still evolving, I understand from your videos that you’ve pointed out the challenges of selling graded cards that aren’t from PSA or Beckett. I value your perspective because, unlike some vendors who outright dismiss non-PSA slabs without much explanation, you provide a balanced view. This honest feedback helps in making informed decisions about grading options and their marketability. This is why you're the MVP! And I'm glad you were able to link up with Coop from Coop's Collection. You guys are the best!
Regarding ink, I think if it is ink intended to hide issues (blue ink on edges) they will consider it altered and not slab. Since this ink wasn't done in a devious manner it just got (MK) designation. Not positive on it, but that is my understanding.
1s are more liquid and a higher price than most grades sub 9 on "bad" cards that are super common. On heavy hitters like these you do have some people collecting 1-10 in every grade, but I still find both price and liquidity of the 1s to be higher than most grades 1-4 or 5.
You could wipe away those black dots on the back/front of the cards with water if you do it softly. It's usually mold and could sometimes upscale the grade with 1. But I guess you wanted the cards to have them graded PSA 1 to get more $$$ out of it...
Excellent video... loved the excitement. Accurate predictions... Surprised the inked card was graded. That Rocket's Mewtwo in a PSA 10? Very low pop count... put that away for a few years until the hobby gets really hot again, then flip for 5x the value now.
Great stuff! I love PSA 1's. I kind of think your values on some of them are low but not questioning you. I personally have a large collection of PSA 1's so this is really nice to see!
Really cool idea, wonder what the guys at psa thought about seeing all these damaged grails. The mewtwo and other 10s probably looked super clean compared to the rest of the submission so they had togive them 10s.
Awwww I still remember pulling those from packs for 3 dollars for pop series and 4-8 dollars for neo and e readers packs good old days most of mine were beat up like those looks so good in a slab
That machamp is exactly why im afraid to grade cards at all. But im also not really looking to re sell as of right now and my vaultx adds enough protection as is. Great video regardless man
Unlike in the USA, here in Brazil, destroyed Pokémon cards are valued, and unfortunately, they still command exorbitant prices due to being vintage and high-value cards. For example, a destroyed Charizard Gold Star in Brazil costs the equivalent of $4000 in the USA.😢
Fun video to watch. I have a NM/Mint and a heavy played team rocket holo dark charizard that looks like a 3-5. Kinda wanna damage it more so it can grade a 1 lol. Hopefully I can get a 1 and 10 back 🤞🏾
I hate using PSA for my personal collection because of the upcharges. I don't mine paying $80 to grade my gold star kyogre if I was going to sell it, but im not going to sell it, so why I gotta pay $80 when other companies like cgc and TAG are are going to give it a similar grade for $15
I can’t believe PSA graded some of the most beat up cards 😳 I wonder if they would do the same if it was a beat up very modern card. I’d rather have a card that said authentic on the slab instead of the grade, Anything below a 5, Just my opinion.
I actually collect rare damaged cards, because I don’t want to break the bank, although most the cards in my collection I pulled myself I do trade some of my pulls for some LP MP cards if they’re rare enough!
It’s so weird that people collect PSA 1s. If you have a LP card that is super rare, it almost seems like damaging it more and grading it as a 1 would give you more value
One reason I like collecting sealed vintage Pokemon games is because damage isn’t as painful. Like a sealed copy of Pokemon Yellow with a ding in the box is still a sealed copy of Pokemon Yellow.
it's weirdly cool seeing rare cards in garbage condition
Defs gotta regrade that Machamp and RayRay!! Would be cool to make a vid of all recracked slabs and new grades!
I love this format, you put it all in one video instead of making 2 videos and having your audience wait months for the returns. Gg my favorite slab unboxing ever.
All of the PSA 1 collectors will be running to your stand next event ^^
Also, that PSA 7 Mudkip is an absolute beauty!
13:30 "Another one. Looking like DJ Khaled over here" lmao
I Lost It. It was so Sudden out of the blue Reference. LOL HAHAHA
Nice content to show even beat ups getting preserved. Many thanks.

Our PC is all damaged... or extra loved. Always cool to see appreciation for the extra loved cards!
Ebjoyed this new style. Just you talking about grading. Nice little switch up. More of these would be nice. Awsome work brotha!

Good to know I’ll keep in mind
Honestly love these graded return vids, always fun to see. Hoping for more!

Damaged high end cards are pretty cool still
Really fun video! Love the change up from our normal POV Vendor content 🔥

I am the only one thinking these cards are super amazing, even in this kind of shape. Love it!

Those bonus slabs were so sick! Keep pumping out the awesome content!
Thanks for sharing. GG on the Rocket's Mewtwo and Latios/Latias!
oddly satisfying seeing all the beat up cards HAHAH
they were well loved, living in the pockets of the kids who pulled them :)
It’s like a beat up super car 😮💨
@@TheBulbaStore the "blooper" 10's were kindof nuts tho
@@TheBulbaStorelol so true tho (ps it’s me the kid who asked for a pic)
Great stuff! I love PSA 1's. I kind of think your values on some of them are low but not questioning you. I personally have a large collection of PSA 1's so this is really nice to see!
Great video, I like seeing predictions and returns in same vid 👍
love the videos started back in the hobby and watched every video from start to finish, looking forward to more vendor povs c:
Need more of these kind of videos
Dope vibe, 🐐 back at it
You have to do more of these type of videos!
He is back!
So sick to get that Rocket Mewtwo in a 10!!
Yoooo I met you at Richmond collect a con! It was great meeting you
I’m actually getting into gold stars and been planning to do this so the timing is impeccable 😂🤘
Bulb and Coop are the only Pokémon vendor channels I follow and watch.
Just put the nj collect a con video in the bag bro🤦♂️
In all seriousness such a cool video dude❤️
They grade signed cards and even give signatures a seperate grade from the card so it will come with two grades,
That mewtwo is insane!🔥
Was cool, seeing you during the livestream of Coop's Collection .. The legends themselfs💪
Oh man! Sweet fire submission! Congrats! The PSA 1’s are lowkey really cool to see! 🔥
Really cool idea, wonder what the guys at psa thought about seeing all these damaged grails. The mewtwo and other 10s probably looked super clean compared to the rest of the submission so they had togive them 10s.
I really enjoyed this video, and guessing what the slabs got before you revealed the grade - thanks for another banger!
PSA has been all over the place with grading recently. Mint cards get 6s and 7s and then cards that you hope get a 8-9 are getting 10s
I can’t complain with this one haha. Just going to resend them
@@TheBulbaStore Thats true that mewtwo though 😮that was awesome along with the Latios and Latias!!!
What a video! Keep it up! What tier PSA service did you submit the cards?
why didn't you clean the dirt off first?
Gives a more realistic example of
Awwww I still remember pulling those from packs for 3 dollars for pop series and 4-8 dollars for neo and e readers packs good old days most of mine were beat up like those looks so good in a slab
That machamp is exactly why im afraid to grade cards at all. But im also not really looking to re sell as of right now and my vaultx adds enough protection as is. Great video regardless man
Bro! I wouldn’t worry about the Machamp just crack it and sell it raw. You got the Rockets Mewtwo and Latias and Latios as 10s congrats!
Even though they’re low grade, it’s cool seeing you talk about card conditions!
If you squint enough they look minty 😭
finally slabs i can afford, do you take ebt?
Crazy that latios and Latias got a 10 awesome luck on that one
One of those charizards be great in my binder.. fire in any condition
Are you going to try and get a PSA 1-10 set of Gold Star Zards? That'd be sick
Unlike in the USA, here in Brazil, destroyed Pokémon cards are valued, and unfortunately, they still command exorbitant prices due to being vintage and high-value cards. For example, a destroyed Charizard Gold Star in Brazil costs the equivalent of $4000 in the USA.😢
Nice PSA 1 collection would be really cool to have
Beat up grail caliber cards are the best, can collect the best on a budget😮💨🔥
loved the video, that psa 10 rockets mewtwo ex got me so excited haha.
The reaction to the unexpected 10s 😂😂
Dang those the o.g. of pocket cards. Get em with the vine whip
Fun video to watch. I have a NM/Mint and a heavy played team rocket holo dark charizard that looks like a 3-5.
Kinda wanna damage it more so it can grade a 1 lol. Hopefully I can get a 1 and 10 back 🤞🏾
awesome video! would we be seeing any of these at the upcoming show? might have to get one of those psa 1 zards!
They will until they sell out!
These are perfect binder cards
Yo! Ima need that one Gold Star Zard for the PC 💪💪💪💪
I loved this video❤. Your reaction with the mewtew card was so funny😂
"A SSSSSSEVEN!? WHAT!?" 😂😂😂
Sending that one back with a quickness 😤
PSA hates grading ex card, i feel you with that rayquaza. I got the same result lately
I hate using PSA for my personal collection because of the upcharges. I don't mine paying $80 to grade my gold star kyogre if I was going to sell it, but im not going to sell it, so why I gotta pay $80 when other companies like cgc and TAG are are going to give it a similar grade for $15
beckett is 18 and has a nicer slab
Can’t believe those cards are even worth grading 🤷♂️
I can’t believe PSA graded some of the most beat up cards 😳 I wonder if they would do the same if it was a beat up very modern card.
I’d rather have a card that said authentic on the slab instead of the grade, Anything below a 5, Just my opinion.
really cool vid! love your channel! please keep making more!!!
That mewtwo is beautiful man
Bro the way my mouth DROPPED when I saw all those Espeon Gold Stars 😭
Luv your content bulbastore keep doing you bro
What's a good display case to buy for card shows?
Makes me consider trying to grade my crystal Lugia that I thought would be a PSA 2 , but after seeing some of those 4s I might get a better grade
That machamp one was wild yo...like how??!! 😅
The unboxing starts at 11:20
It's so sad when you find a great card in terrible condition! Recently found an old Japanese Hypto Holo (2nd edition) but it is so destroyed lol
Sick return!
Getting 2 PSA 10s is very good 😂
Honestly a dope video
I actually collect rare damaged cards, because I don’t want to break the bank, although most the cards in my collection I pulled myself I do trade some of my pulls for some LP MP cards if they’re rare enough!
The cards are amazing though - wish I had them!!
It’s so weird that people collect PSA 1s. If you have a LP card that is super rare, it almost seems like damaging it more and grading it as a 1 would give you more value
Awesome vid hopefully catch you at the ATL collect a con as well 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Pumped! Can't wait to watch this!
Loved this video!
this is like drawing zeros on 1 dollar bills, "thats a 1"
Whoa, hold on.. the Espeon and Umbreon aren’t holo? I had no idea until now!
One reason I like collecting sealed vintage Pokemon games is because damage isn’t as painful.
Like a sealed copy of Pokemon Yellow with a ding in the box is still a sealed copy of Pokemon Yellow.
Love the videos man, Keep it up!!
Man I want a gold star collection so badly!!!
damn sweet cards i only had the Gyarados when i was little
I miss my cards i lost everything in a fire 😭 starting from scratch love the video s really helps the pain ❤️
Only up from here 💪
How come grading is not done to the decimal point?
cuz it’s PSA
The things I would do for a damaged gold star zard... (I love damaged cards i'm ok dont worry)
I was trying to do the math and the amount was crazy! Some of the grades were shocking, some of em good and some bad grades.
no uploads from the new jersey collectacon?
Will be out in a couple months
I think the pricing around gold stars that are damaged to that point and still have value is actual insanity.
What is the website he uses to check the pricing and get the averages for the graded cards and the raw cards he purchases in his other videos?
Never been so excited to see 1 or 2 grades😂
Keep the rocket Mewtwo, it'll only go up in value.
What website do you use to check prices?
Are PSA 1's worth more than 2's or 3's?
The mewtwo made up for the machamp I guess. Not sure how it got a 7. But that’s psa for ya
