I appreciate the video! I just got back into collecting a couple of weeks ago and I've been watching various people to learn as much as I can. A video on whether or not its worth it to send cards into PSA is exactly what i was looking for!
Absolutely love this type as someone who's slightly averse to grading, I just like holding the cards raw lol but I will grade the big big hits and this is hugely insightful to me. Like I never thought about it but makes total sense about the gift 10s. Also you're inspiring me to film, my next is the Evolutions box rip but I've been holding off bc im also sick 😂
Oooh can't wait to see the Evolutions box rip! As for grading, we are definitely in the age of grading. It's definitely the best way to preserve and encapsulate your treasured cards. Certain cards I grade to keep, others to sell or trade up to what I want. If u hit a 10, u get more for the card. 9's get u roughly raw prices plus a few dollars. 8's are blasphemous grades bc it kills the value. 7's, crack the bitch open, sell raw, and gotta eat the 16 dollars. 😂 But at the end of the day, it's definitely worth grading. Can't wait to see which cards u choose to get graded!
@GrimmRipper88 hopefully will have it filmed by end of week after I fly back in 🤘 That makes total sense on the numbers, I gotta go through what I have to see what I want to send
That's definitely my favorite of the bunch! Can't wait to get my latest 2 submissions back hopefully in a cpl weeks! As always, thank you for watching & commenting, Sam!
Why was the charizard a PSA 9 lol, it really pisses me off knowing that PSA is trying to control the market by misgrading cards. I'm glad you're doing a bit well now welcome back champ!
@sadashi5281 Ya the only reason it git a 9 is due to the price jump. It's unfortunate, but nothing we can do about it. Ya man, I'm slowly getting better each day. 🙏
@sadashi5281 It's a more advanced process of grading. But it costs more to have your cards pre graded, meaning cards that were unofficially graded by pro graders. And usually those grades are 10's. I had actual graders grade the cards and around 40% of the results were different than PSA's. But I didn't have them officially pre graded as 10's. It's kinda complicated to explain lol
I'm pissed myself.... I pulled a zard si and a full art in the same pack. From a ultimate premium box 151 on my bday this yr, My homie who has been sending in cards PSA since day one. He took a look at my zard si he said it was perfect PSA 10. It was perfectly centered, I sent in to get graded it came back as a PSA 7 when he looked at my graded zard. It was damaged on the edges 😡😡😡.
That's unfortunate and horrible to hear! PSA rarely yet sometimes will own up to damaging ppl's cards. Most of the time they won't even acknowledge what they did, grade your card a 7, and move on. It's messed up. Best advice i can give is, either make a complaint, show proof of how the card looked before sending it out, and see what they do, or crack it open and sell it raw. You'll lose the 15, but you should still get up to 200 for it. But I'm very sorry this happened to u.
@GrimmRipper88 I asked my homie the same question, if we can break open the slab and resend it to get regraded. He's no not to do that. Since the card was damaged on the edges... It will get a lower grade, on the card. I've moved on, but I'm still upset about it. I haven't sent in any cards to get graded to PSA since my bday. On June. Me and my homies have been looking into BGS since then. But haven't sent any cards as of yet.
@timmythelord It definitely puts a sour taste in your mouth. I was disgusted and pissed at half the grades I got. Then I literally studied each card and found maybe 25% of the 50% were correct. As for my Zard, the 151 cards inc the Charmander 7, most of the cards should have graded a 10. The Charmander looks like a 8 or 9, def not a 7. Best advice is it's still worth getting all the cards graded, but sucks when cards u know or believe should be a 10 come back a 9, 8, or 7..

Thank you so much! Hope I helped explain things through my experience. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

@GrimmRipper88 also im curious cause you mentioned something about like pre grading, what's that all about?

I sent in a zard all corners had some whiting on them and got 10 ❤
I have a quick question. I sent a card to PSA it says Delivered. How long does it take to show up with them.
You sent it yourself or through Gamestop? And do you mean it said sent, shipped, or received?
