I did an experiment with PSA - I purchased a GM 10 2018 Topps Update Acuna Jr off of EBAY 1.5 yrs ago, the case was cracked when it arrived. The seller offered a refund but I was nice about it and said I refund me the cost to get a new slab. (Lesson learned here shortly, just send it back). After 6 months, I get it back and it is re-graded a 5? Nothing wrong with the card and PSA couldn't tell me why? So I broke the slab a month ago, sent it back in with my other cards, comes back an 8? I have a call in to them now and sent them pics of me breaking the case, to have them explain what is going on? How can a card have 3 grades and all very much different?
What you did is 'audit' PSA's grading consistency and there should be an independent group that hobbyists pay a really, really small fee to every year that does exactly what you did to all of the grading companies. Long overdue.
To submit cards threw a 3rd party as always seem suspect to me especially pre screening, what's to stop taking your card and swapping it out for a lesser grade. And I'm getting bad vibes on how he kept saying "I promise it's not rigged"
I honestly think it’s a pretty typical order from my experience. With both CSG and SGC having more stringent grading scales, it would be interesting to resub that same order to one of them.
It's wild that they hand out 10s left and right on these newer pulls, but on the 88 fleer cards you pulled straight from the wax they were super harsh.
I love GMA. Hate those people who say "all they do I'd hand out 10s"... Clearly I'd say that's a different company ^^^ They're fast, affordable, and since majority of the staff is old PSA & BGS employees you know they have decent experience
I love GMA. Took me 20 days to get my cards returned start to finish. Took 1 year for PSA. I can't do 20 times the Business with GMA. I'm sure a lot of their graders are former PSA. Tampa ain't a bad place to live, especially for tax purposes.
I am so glad you showed this, It demonstrates how crappy PSA is as a company, they have 4 year old kids grading cards for Christ’s sake ,get away from the PSA
During the grading process they is a steo for you to review the card and label. Idid you bulk service provider review it then and correct it if it was wrong
Mislabels happen so often with group subs unfortunately because they’re not checking the orders to report any errors. Submitting on your own, you’re must more likely to flag these errors and can report them quickly. I’ve been able to flag these a few times on my own thanks to knowing my orders well. As far as your Love card goes, I was recently told the checklist has to be easily accessible to them, so sometimes those national sets don’t have complete checklists anywhere posted.
Looks like quality control has gone out the window with increased demand. Time to look at other alternatives. PSA was bought out a year ago. Maybe look at the new MGMT team?
Very nice sub! Grats! Unfortunately I got screwed bad on my last few PSA subs I finally got back. So whack. Got some 6's that were same or better than 9's in the exact same card, same submission. Went over them with fine tooth comb and magnifying glass. Been sending since 2005 and not sure how they can mess up that bad? Not to mention they damaged one of my cards (Shaq RC), that was a 10 GEM. Got a call from them directly , accidentally messed it up in the slabbing process. It's now a 4. Was insured but didn't insure it for 10 value. 🥴😅 PSA needs to have some level of consistency. Seeing a lot of this in the hobby lately.
Who's to say they didn't keep your shaq rc that was a 10 and swapped and gave you the sht card. What doesn't set well with me is the fact that Steven Cohen owns PSA now and hes known for fraud and insider trading in the stock market. It's absolute BS and I'll never use PSA.

Lmao you can’t tell what grade a card is from a video. You have to inspect under magnification up close under bright lights to see flaws in printing, etc
I sent a few vintage basketball and football cards to sgc. Not happy with the grades especially since they were prescreened. A 3.5 and a 4.5. Why even send those in. Thought for sure after prescreening I’d be looking at 6 or better on those cards which for 50 year old cards and 40 year old cards were in very good shape. I don’t get it. Anyone suggest a different service for my next batch??? Hoping to get some better grades than my first batch.
Tell me if I'm paranoid, please. The choice of sending in your cards directly to PSA for grading (with the assistence of UA-cam videos to help you prepare that submission and cards correctly), versus my (unfounded?) fear of having those cards --- go to pre-PSA Prep-service where, if a card is handled by them and damaged or is identified and being a PSA 10 (and then swapped out at that facility by a nepharious employee for another card but of lower quality). I have seen UA-cam videos of folks saying that they didn't think a crease or a corner ding was there when it was sent in. All in all, even if you take careful photos of your cards, it is almost impossible to guarantee something happens at the Prep-service or even at PSA grading time. Am I being too paranoid, or do you folks sometimes think, "This card looked perfect when I sent it and I looked at it very carefully, but now it's graded as a PSA 6 because of this suspicious crease," for example. Thanks much. Great videos.

I am just rejoining the sport card and autograph collecting community after a 20+ year break. When I got out graded cards were only a few years old and now I wouldn't purchase a vintage card or any autograph without a PSA stamp of approval. SO here are my questions and concerns hopefully you can help me with... PSA's revenue is dependent on values of items, have there been issues with cards getting higher grades or authentic autos being deemed fake and vise versa in order to keep POPs at certain stats to keep values where they want them?
Why can't PSA / SGC and others not take the time to input notes along with the pics they take for their archive, to understand why a card got below a 10? I think that would help tremendously for owners and especially for buyers to look the card up and understand surface / centering, etc... issues the card may have?

@@xKingLeonidas300x nothing has changed they have always graded ultra modern pretty easy. I don't look at my cards under any microscope and I've always gotten around that 60 recent gem rate on my modern cards
@@PIP-zf9yb I’ve always liked bgs. They are tougher. Also thing CSG has future in sports. Years of experience in other collectibles like coins and comics and tough graders. But the hobby still values psa more even though you can clearly tell some graded 10 cards are not really 10. People can say it’s what the slab says but you can clearly see off centering, corners and edge on some.
Are you guys familiar with AGS grading? They use AI grading or something that's supposed to prevent things like this where some of those off-center cards are getting 10s.
Could you do a video of cards that are team colors parallels to see if the idea that they hold more value over standard issue is really true. Ex. A blue Tom Brady is worth more than a silver and also what’s the difference between the other colors. Supposed people prefer the pink over the silver. Just an idea and think it would be a great video
So, you're saying your grading service sends cards in bulk to the grading company. Then gets them back and separates then returns. How do they know who gets what of the same submitted card with different grades?
Every single card we submit is assigned line items in our database that match to specific customers. Every single card goes back to the original owners. We've been in business for 31 years and we've been handling customer submissions for 24 years and have thousands of satisfied customers who submit with us over and over again. I highly recommend you try our service and find out for yourself or talk to one of our submitters who submit with us.
@@gotbaseballcards-com I must trust you to keep my cards separate, then we must trust the grading company to keep them separated before, during & after grading, then trust you again to separate my cards from a combined lot of cards into a single box to ship back to me. And all this over a (approx.) years time. Along with the separation of cards of different eras for grading pricing. Geoff Wilson has invertedly exposed the chaotic process. He even showed a graded card mislabeled. Now, you ask me to submit and try it out. Asking me to blindly give you money for this process. I'll pass.
Some of these 10’s your getting are visibly off center. I collect select football and the centering on 70% of select cards make them an instant PSA 9. I am not sure if they are more lenient now then before. Interesting.
No it's called PSA is a horse shit scam of a grading service. These bulk orders especially are heavily skewed and favored over direct submissions. PSA cares more about their status as being the #1 demanded company so they hand out 10s like it's nothing. Guarantees if you send them to ANY other service it will grade lower. The more we can branch away from psa and their scammy business the better ALL OUR cards will be regardless if its BGS, SGC, GMA, etc. Side note - I'm a big supporter of the work GMA is doing lately. They don't just hand out 10s like a lot of people claim and their turnaround time is insanely quick and great prices. SGC remains my top choice still though.
It really is interesting how biased PSA can be... He could probably send in a random card that was sitting at the bottom of his couch and still get a 10.
PSA grades have been inaccurate and is based on what the graders feel. Investing in sports cards myself, I recommend those who are in investing to use AGS. I have been annoyed with PSA’s extremely long return times. I have since switched to AGS and they are much faster. Their AI robot grades the cards in a much shorter time than human grading. Furthermore, their robots are unbiased and grade without human emotion and they have reasonable and fair prices. I really suggest you try them out as they are the new wave of the future!
PSA takes way too long and too many people have been disappointed by their service. As a sports card investor, I think AGS is the new wave of card grading.

Besides, AGS has AI that grades the cards without bias and they have legitimate and reasonable prices. I recommend that you test out their services as they worked for me!
I feel like you submitted all these at the height of the sports card craze Because most of these aren't even worth the price of grading nowhere near it
Not a big PSA fan, how many 9’s and 10’s slab you’ve seen that are a little off centered or a lot? I personally like BGS, with BGS I at least now why I got that certain grade because of sub grades. PSA can’t justify it. Plus don’t buy any old PSA slab’s, due to PCWW and PSA scams that they had going on.
KZ Okpala was released from the Heat last year and hasn't played for an NBA team at all. Also your next slab reveal should come from the other 3 companies you do group subs for. Just a thought.
KZ Okpala was never released by the Heat. KZ was injured and out for the rest of the season. He was traded to the Thunder for a 2nd round pick at the trade deadline to open a roster spot for Caleb Martin. Signed Caleb Martin from a 2 way contract to a normal contract. This way he can play in the playoffs. The Thunder released KZ because he was at the end of his contract and injured for the rest of the season. He will be signed by another team this summer, he's only 22 years old and 2 years of experience. He's a defense specialist though and they don't do well in the trading card market.
@@darthfianchetto8502 gotcha. Didn't know he went to the Thunder. But someone needs to tell KZ he needs to do better offensively so people can invest in his cards. Defensive players don't mean a damn in the hobby unless you're Dennis Rodman.

a year? Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaa? I can't believe this is the state of this business... so shady and grows. Errors, No explanation at all for the no grade??? and somehow you landed all those gems and they didnt know it was you? Come on man.
Wow there is a lot of inconsistency with PSA grading cards here. Some of them were off center but they still got a GM 10 grade. I think this is part of the problems with human grading. Humans just can have certain biases sometimes. There is a new start-up called Automated Grading Systems and, as the name implies, they grade cards through AI and computers. It makes grading much more consistent and accurate since an unbiased AI goes through the cards to give them a correct grade.
This amount of PSA 10's shows how far backed up PSA was. They probably only had 5 seconds to look over each card before having to move onto the next one
Last time I used PSA, they returned the grade over a year later. Investing in sports cards myself, I suggest you use AGS. AGS uses robots to grade the cards very quickly. Moreover, AGS has AI that grades the cards without bias and AGS offers fair and logical prices. AGS is a really good company that you should try out!
Basically I'm staying away from grading until PSA settles down. so any slabs with a number > 5000000 I'm staying away from. I feel like their older stuff has been more reliable. My 2 cents and definitely my opinion

Unlike human grading companies like DMA and ISA, AGS uses a robot that grades your robot without bias. In addition to, they have fast return times when you need the grade quickly and they have reasonable and legitimate prices. I have always been satisfied by their service.
I would imagine that grading base cards for the purpose of flipping them, for the most part, will reduce due to the increased pricing. No? Because not many of these would currently be worth grading. I mainly use PSA/SGC for purposes of protecting higher end or personal favorite cards. I dunno about changing grading scales...I could easily go through my new cards and pick out a batch like this and get mainly 10s. So statements like that just stir drama...😂
Yeah, at the moment there isn’t as much money to be made grading low value cards. But that may change in the future again if PSA’s prices get back down to $20-30.
Man that would be great!! I think if PSA lowers to $20 they would be FLOODED again and would be in the same position. But $50 does seem a little high. However, I do like the $999 limit which used to be what, 100-150 on the lowest end??
Quick turnaround when submitting in bulk? ..a year is a fkin long time to wait for your cards to come back and then to have things wrong with them? They are not cheap for the regular card collector. am I the only one who thinks this way?

All mine came back in a sgc box out of 22 cards 19 where PSA 10
I need to find out we'll figure out how to send cards in for grading, I have so many cards that need to be graded, I have a bunch of Kevin Porter Auto RC prisms and I believe one national treasure swatch are those something I should keep or get rid of them
Do use do for Canadian submission vans price in Canadian dollar?
Amazing how all my pack fresh cards come back as 8's. Must have that "special" sauce.
PSA grades have been inaccurate and is based on what the graders feel. Investing in sports cards myself, I recommend those who are in investing to use AGS. Their robots are unbiased and graded without human emotion. Also, AGS robot allows the cards to be graded quickly unlike human graders and AGS offers rational and rational prices. I recommend that you test out their services as they worked for me!
try using CSG. They have a new label on their slabs and turnaround times are about 3 and 1/2 weeks. And their prices are lower!
OK. Even though I hate seeing this happen to everyone, I feel better knowing I am not the only one this is happening to.
Totally. Big lesson is do what you know and want to do. Not what everyone else is doing.
PSA takes way too long and too many people have been disappointed by their service. Investing in sports cards myself, I think AGS is the new wave of card grading. Their robots are unbiased and graded without human emotion. Moreover, AGS robot allows the cards to be graded quickly unlike human graders and they have fair and reasonable prices. AGS have not disappointed me in their grading service.
Curious how many cards were originally in this order to GotBaseCards? How many did they reject?
9:27 How in the heck did that get a 10 lmaooo, horrible centering
I am just rejoining the sport card and autograph collecting community after a 20+ year break. When I got out graded cards were only a few years old and now I wouldn't purchase a vintage card or any autograph without a PSA stamp of approval. SO here are my questions and concerns hopefully you can help me with... PSA's revenue is dependent on values of items, have there been issues with cards getting higher grades or authentic autos being deemed fake and vise versa in order to keep POPs at certain stats to keep values where they want them?
Why can't PSA / SGC and others not take the time to input notes along with the pics they take for their archive, to understand why a card got below a 10? I think that would help tremendously for owners and especially for buyers to look the card up and understand surface / centering, etc... issues the card may have?
Because they have no standards
PSA takes way too long and too many people have been disappointed by their service. Investing in sports cards myself, I think AGS is the new wave of card grading. AGS uses robots to grade the cards very quickly. Moreover, their robots are unbiased and grade without human emotion and AGS offers legitimate and legitimate prices. AGS is a really good company that you should try out!
Please have more of these videos with everyone on your SCI staff. Would be cool to see what types of cards they submitted to be graded.
The centering of the rookie select from THT is bad.
How is this a 10?
Companies like PSA have too biased of grading. I have been investing in sports cards for quite some time and I think AGS is the new wave of card grading. There is never a delay with the grading, at most taking a month. In addition to, their robots are unbiased and grade without human emotion and they have reasonable and legitimate prices. I have never been disappointed by their services.
Hey Jeff I have a question I have a lot of nba hoops rookies like a lamelo 2 halibertons 2 ants 2 quickly and a purple teel explosion obi should I grade them thanks
That Wiseman looked off center.. on brand with PSA handing out 10s like hot cakes
Truth! If you look at a bunch of them they are clearly off centered.
ya it's ultra modern should be getting a high percentage of 10s. not that difficult
I thought the same. Multiple 10 looked off center . But PSA has been getting the rep to be giving 10s out
@@xKingLeonidas300x nothing has changed they have always graded ultra modern pretty easy. I don't look at my cards under any microscope and I've always gotten around that 60 recent gem rate on my modern cards
@@PIP-zf9yb I’ve always liked bgs. They are tougher. Also thing CSG has future in sports. Years of experience in other collectibles like coins and comics and tough graders. But the hobby still values psa more even though you can clearly tell some graded 10 cards are not really 10. People can say it’s what the slab says but you can clearly see off centering, corners and edge on some.
Does market movers have chronicles? I noticed sports card investor doesn’t 😢
Does sports card investor do personal collection buying?
How can we do bulk submissions while paying $60 per card for grading? I thought PSA was $10-$12 per card?
If I want to send a card in I have to pay a hundred bucks per card. Why PSA said it's because I'm not a member. That's crazy, $100 per card!
Are you guys familiar with AGS grading? They use AI grading or something that's supposed to prevent things like this where some of those off-center cards are getting 10s.
If I sent them cards in less than half would be 10
Phoenix since born and raised in Arizona go wildcats and huge aaron gordon collector
Jeff. Long time admirer new to slabs. Was wondering if you sell any of your slabs? Intrested in a few. UK viewer
Was alright but that talen horton was so off centered not sure how that got a 10.
I thought the same thing.
I just got the cards you sent me and I want to say THANK YOU!!!
Wow a ton of tens!!!
I bought a few slabs recently and noticed they were miss slabbed.... Pokemon and Parallels of sports cards
Joe and the team at baseball cards do a awesome job of screening cards looks like my order super nice
Hi Wendy thanks for the kind words about our services! We do our best!
I’m sitting on a stash of graded, prizm colors and autos of KZ, what a shame. Luckily it was all low risk.
Brandon Lowe like Wow, not Lowe like Woah
I saw you on the tv on heat vs hawks game 4
Could you do a video of cards that are team colors parallels to see if the idea that they hold more value over standard issue is really true. Ex. A blue Tom Brady is worth more than a silver and also what’s the difference between the other colors. Supposed people prefer the pink over the silver. Just an idea and think it would be a great video
I went ahead and threw a couple of bucks at a Tua rookie card in case the Tyreek Hill thing goes better than I expect.
So, you're saying your grading service sends cards in bulk to the grading company. Then gets them back and separates then returns. How do they know who gets what of the same submitted card with different grades?
this is how, they keep all the 10’s and you get all the 9’s 😂
Every single card we submit is assigned line items in our database that match to specific customers. Every single card goes back to the original owners. We've been in business for 31 years and we've been handling customer submissions for 24 years and have thousands of satisfied customers who submit with us over and over again. I highly recommend you try our service and find out for yourself or talk to one of our submitters who submit with us.
@@gotbaseballcards-com I must trust you to keep my cards separate, then we must trust the grading company to keep them separated before, during & after grading, then trust you again to separate my cards from a combined lot of cards into a single box to ship back to me. And all this over a (approx.) years time. Along with the separation of cards of different eras for grading pricing. Geoff Wilson has invertedly exposed the chaotic process. He even showed a graded card mislabeled. Now, you ask me to submit and try it out. Asking me to blindly give you money for this process. I'll pass.
Some of these 10’s your getting are visibly off center. I collect select football and the centering on 70% of select cards make them an instant PSA 9. I am not sure if they are more lenient now then before. Interesting.
No it's called PSA is a horse shit scam of a grading service. These bulk orders especially are heavily skewed and favored over direct submissions. PSA cares more about their status as being the #1 demanded company so they hand out 10s like it's nothing. Guarantees if you send them to ANY other service it will grade lower. The more we can branch away from psa and their scammy business the better ALL OUR cards will be regardless if its BGS, SGC, GMA, etc.
Side note - I'm a big supporter of the work GMA is doing lately. They don't just hand out 10s like a lot of people claim and their turnaround time is insanely quick and great prices. SGC remains my top choice still though.
He is sponsored by them of course they’ll give his address better grades
It really is interesting how biased PSA can be... He could probably send in a random card that was sitting at the bottom of his couch and still get a 10.
PSA grades have been inaccurate and is based on what the graders feel. Investing in sports cards myself, I recommend those who are in investing to use AGS. I have been annoyed with PSA’s extremely long return times. I have since switched to AGS and they are much faster. Their AI robot grades the cards in a much shorter time than human grading. Furthermore, their robots are unbiased and grade without human emotion and they have reasonable and fair prices. I really suggest you try them out as they are the new wave of the future!
Faster turn around time? It took a year
Haha… yeah. Would have taken longer otherwise!
PSA takes way too long and too many people have been disappointed by their service. As a sports card investor, I think AGS is the new wave of card grading. With AI being the wave of the future, AGS has implemented a robot that grades your cards for you with a quick return speed. Besides, AGS has AI that grades the cards without bias and they have legitimate and reasonable prices. I recommend that you test out their services as they worked for me!
This is like watching Steve Stifler do a parody of card collecting.
I feel like you submitted all these at the height of the sports card craze Because most of these aren't even worth the price of grading nowhere near it
Not a big PSA fan, how many 9’s and 10’s slab you’ve seen that are a little off centered or a lot? I personally like BGS, with BGS I at least now why I got that certain grade because of sub grades. PSA can’t justify it. Plus don’t buy any old PSA slab’s, due to PCWW and PSA scams that they had going on.
KZ Okpala was released from the Heat last year and hasn't played for an NBA team at all. Also your next slab reveal should come from the other 3 companies you do group subs for. Just a thought.
KZ Okpala was never released by the Heat. KZ was injured and out for the rest of the season. He was traded to the Thunder for a 2nd round pick at the trade deadline to open a roster spot for Caleb Martin. Signed Caleb Martin from a 2 way contract to a normal contract. This way he can play in the playoffs. The Thunder released KZ because he was at the end of his contract and injured for the rest of the season. He will be signed by another team this summer, he's only 22 years old and 2 years of experience. He's a defense specialist though and they don't do well in the trading card market.
@@darthfianchetto8502 gotcha. Didn't know he went to the Thunder. But someone needs to tell KZ he needs to do better offensively so people can invest in his cards. Defensive players don't mean a damn in the hobby unless you're Dennis Rodman.
They definitely knew it was you and decided to give 10s cause that wiseman is off center left to right lol
Psa hooks up the small card UA-camr influencers like you and Sasha lol. No surprise
Companies like PSA have too biased of grading. Investing in sports cards myself, I recommend those who are in investing to use AGS. They specialize in grading modern cards without bias. Besides, AGS robot allows the cards to be graded quickly unlike human graders and they have reasonable and fair prices. I have been using them for quite some time now and I hope that you do too!
Whoever gave that talen horton tucker select silver a PSA 10 needs their eyes checked. That was near an 8 grade on that centering...
All a scam!!!!
a year? Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaa? I can't believe this is the state of this business... so shady and grows. Errors, No explanation at all for the no grade??? and somehow you landed all those gems and they didnt know it was you? Come on man.
Do you have a channel that teaches what you do during the day? I'd be open to investments in tech companies.
Wow there is a lot of inconsistency with PSA grading cards here. Some of them were off center but they still got a GM 10 grade. I think this is part of the problems with human grading. Humans just can have certain biases sometimes. There is a new start-up called Automated Grading Systems and, as the name implies, they grade cards through AI and computers. It makes grading much more consistent and accurate since an unbiased AI goes through the cards to give them a correct grade.
Aside from the other bad stories I've heard about psa, I'm not trying to wait a yr to get my cards back lol
This amount of PSA 10's shows how far backed up PSA was. They probably only had 5 seconds to look over each card before having to move onto the next one
Last time I used PSA, they returned the grade over a year later. Investing in sports cards myself, I suggest you use AGS. AGS uses robots to grade the cards very quickly. Moreover, AGS has AI that grades the cards without bias and AGS offers fair and logical prices. AGS is a really good company that you should try out!
Great content as always! If you want to move the Iverson I'd love to add it to my son's Sixers pc!!!!
Basically I'm staying away from grading until PSA settles down. so any slabs with a number > 5000000 I'm staying away from. I feel like their older stuff has been more reliable. My 2 cents and definitely my opinion
Can u say how much ur cards are worth when u do this stuff?
Well, that was a great advertisement. Can I sub 3 cards to PSA? Also, I can drive to loganville. Can I drop them?
Yeah you sure can.
I had an order there for over a year. Uph.
Me personally I wouldn't send non #ed cards to anyone just because people suck and could easily trade it out for theirs again imo
Even if they knew who you are, would it be possible to have a better treatment of PSA?
PSA takes way too long and too many people have been disappointed by their service. As a sports card investor, instead of using other card companies, I use AGS. Unlike human grading companies like DMA and ISA, AGS uses a robot that grades your robot without bias. In addition to, they have fast return times when you need the grade quickly and they have reasonable and legitimate prices. I have always been satisfied by their service.
good job Geoff love that Garnett card is sick!
76ers are gonna take the title this year🔥🏆🔥
I would imagine that grading base cards for the purpose of flipping them, for the most part, will reduce due to the increased pricing. No? Because not many of these would currently be worth grading. I mainly use PSA/SGC for purposes of protecting higher end or personal favorite cards. I dunno about changing grading scales...I could easily go through my new cards and pick out a batch like this and get mainly 10s. So statements like that just stir drama...😂
Yeah, at the moment there isn’t as much money to be made grading low value cards. But that may change in the future again if PSA’s prices get back down to $20-30.
Man that would be great!! I think if PSA lowers to $20 they would be FLOODED again and would be in the same position. But $50 does seem a little high. However, I do like the $999 limit which used to be what, 100-150 on the lowest end??
Quick turnaround when submitting in bulk? ..a year is a fkin long time to wait for your cards to come back and then to have things wrong with them? They are not cheap for the regular card collector. am I the only one who thinks this way?
Maybe they felt bad because most have gone down 90% in value by the time they got to them. One base rc 10 looked off center to me.
A couple of those 10s are OC
Maybe the grader forgot their glasses or something, a few of them also looked pretty off center. Honestly, we need more competition for grading.
Did he just say Chronicles? And this guy has money? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Where are the missing cards? Your cert number jumps between cards. ie...0045 then it goes to 0048. Where did the other two go? Be HONEST!!!
