    This is probably the best grading tutorial video. The best part is comparing pre -graded and graded.

    Subscribed! Been getting into collecting again this week after 20 years! Will be submitting a couple from my childhood collection through Gamestop & PSA soon. Thanks for the help.

      @@AlexBoib that’s awesome to hear you are getting back into collecting. I would be very cautious of submitting cards through GameStop or any other third party. In my opinion, everyone should submit cards themselves, as it is very easy to learn and do. Thanks for watching and subbing.

    They make a pokemon card centering tool so you have those rounded corners insted on the 90 degree ones.

    CGC Black Label Pristine 10, IMO looks so much better. I have PSA and CGC in comic book (graphic novels) NBA Cards and Pokémon cards using both but prefer the look of the Black Label.

    • @Legendary_Cardboard
      @Legendary_Cardboard  7 днів тому

      The Black Label definitely looks so much better, a lot harder to get than just the typical PSA 10. The market loves PSA 10s for some reason, so that's my go to grading play for high volume turnaround.

    So I’ve got a Skarmory, top border is thicker than the bottom border but the two side borders seem about fine just because the top order the bottom order is off doesn’t necessarily mean it won’t get a 10 it’s still aesthetically pleasing in it ratio?

    • @Legendary_Cardboard
      @Legendary_Cardboard  14 годин тому +1

      For PSA, the standards for the front of the card when it comes to centering is a 60/40 ratio. In my experience, even though a card meets the 60/40 minimum, it's still very noticeable that the card is off centered, which bumps it down to a 9. If you look at a card for the first time and the first thing that jumps out at you, is that it is very noticeably off center, then that is what I mean about being aesthetically pleasing. I've also taken chances on cards where it was clearly off centered but it still came back a 10. The more you grade, the more you will start learning on what cards you can take chances on. I hope this made sense, and remember this is also just my opinion.

      Yes your input and video have been very helpful, I’m waiting on my first 7 cards to come back to have my first experience, but I’m just about ready to send 12-16 cards in, I’m a bit worried about the centering (atleast how it’s graded) just because the top to bottom, even the small black lettering at the bottom looks a bit squished or to have little room compared to the top, overall the card looks great I myself just trying to be picky;
      Would you send in a halo card, the seems like maybe there’s a small chip on the top border?? I’ve got a shinny charmander I’ve been iffy on because I notice it overall looks great but would it even be worth it as a 9?? (Im guessing I’d be up to me an anticipation of its market right?) appreciate your help and interaction @
