Won’t lie. You can tell a company actually cares about the grades they give out when the co founder of the company sends cards in and they give out 6’s and 7’s
All grading at Ace is anonymous. My cards get graded & treasured the same as EVERYONE else’s.
Ace is the real deal, no gimmick.
@@RandolphPokemon i saw a vid where you went behind the scenes showing this was nice to see
@@RandolphPokemon hahaha, i mean, the co-owner goes to Japan, vlogs and posts the cards he buys, then gets them graded. You would think the graders could work it out from the influx of Japanese cards coming in all at once, regardless of if they saw the vlogs or not... so true anonymity - I'm not too sure about that.
@@RandolphPokemonis Ace Grading open to U.S people yet?
@@rngd732 Yeah exactly, it is easy to say Ace is the real deal after you just got a bunch of 10s back by the company you co-founded. I mean it might be true, and Randolph seems like a genuine guy, but whenever a co-founder tells us how amazing his company is, it is fair to say he isn't the most objective, trustworthy source😅
From the prices in the video (obviously subject to change and conversions)
Total paid: $20230
Total worth post grading: $27881
Profit: $7651
ROI: 37.8%
Sick video Randy, some beautiful cards and love the colour matches.
I would presume he gets grading for free, due to being part owner/founder. Would be nice to know what the actual ROI would be for the normie who could do this.
@@robc1773 True. Would also need to factor in the costs of the trip to Japan as well. But he has a bunch of other cards that he got there and hasn't graded/done a video on yet, which would need to be accounted for as well.
@@Awesodge Profits all the way through when you consider he got a holiday tax free lmao
Just submitted 30 cards for grading with yourselves! Never graded any of my collection before and been collecting now for well over 8 years but I have faith and trust in the Ace Grading name! Looking forward to seeing what grades I get when they come back in about 2 weeks time! :)
Got them back yet?
honestly pretty cool to see some of these cards with ace labels for the first time
Loving the videos!! Hearing about Harper showing interest in Pokémon is so heart warming 🥰 I found out I was pregnant about a month ago and I’m already so excited to think I’ll be able to share my love for pokemon with them too ♥️
LETS GOOOOOOO!!!!! Congrats
Great video mate. It's refreshing to have someone accept grades and not rant "Why, why me" lol. I'm an ace convert too, I'm just waiting on my first submission. Nice to see cards which are out of my bracket. I look forward to the next trip vlogs.
Bro, he's not an Ace convert...he founded Ace. It's his own grading company. 😅
@liammckenzie7037 I know that he Co - founded Ace bro, I've been to their offices.
Why would he criticise his own company 🤣🤣
I was for Ace till I had to find out through the comments that he co-founded it. The fact that he isn’t transparent with that is an immediate red flag for me. As someone who grew up with a father who went to prison for fraud and scams. This all raises huge alarms for me and gives off the vibes my dad gives. Makes me think all these 9s and 10s in this video are a setup to get people to grade with Ace over PSA and others. Not to mention the slabs look childish and unprofessional. I’ll stick with PSA and Beckett. But I’ll still watch his videos because they’re entertaining.
He says it all the time, I've watched 4 different videos off his today and he's said it in each one. And gives a promo code every time he does say it.
The paid and worth bit is so good, gives a really interesting perspective to the value of the grade. You should always do it, makes it super interesting
Yo Randy, i'm not hugely into Pokemon but love seeing your passion and energy for these videos. Keep up the good work mate, enjoying seeing you post!
Right! Same here!
Great video Randy, unreal to see so many good grades come back for you. Ace slabs looking fire! It would be great to see you do a similar series as this but in the UK, travelling around the different countries in the UK and different independent shops and seeing grading returns based on those cards. Definitely helps complete the storytelling/journey. Excited to see the vlog of you showing these off at the convention. Good luck!
We miss you around here! I’ll admit I’m not too into Pokémon cards, but hubby and I miss seeing your vlogs so we’ll be here now. Hope you’re doing well, you look great!
You should do a video of grading a card with ace then breaking it and sending to PSA like send a 9 ACE
I watched your collectacon video before this one and was iffy on the slabs from the distance view. Up close these things look SWEET and I love that you can scan the back for sub grades to get a better idea why the card received that specific grade. May have to send off a few to test for myself!
Absolutely awesome video bro 🙏 i’m a massive Ace fan, and i’ve had some insane returns from Ace. No-one does it like Ace, and it’s awesome to see you and the company thriving. Big love bro 💙
Randy I actually love your lengthy content, idk if it's a habit i got from watching your vlogs and stuff. I do miss your daily vlogs tho, they kept me entertained during my breaks at uni. But keep doing you man. I can't wait to see the vendor POV like vivian does, and the different content you come out with. Keep shining my guy, ignore the hate comments. And whenever you feel like it, go back to the vlogs, like you said, vlogs and stuff are all secondary tho, you do you king.
Love this mate! Honestly got back into Pokemon after watching yours & viv’s japan trip! Played the games but feeling the cards in your hands feels more real
Great video Randy, you seem much more natural and at home when doing these videos compared to others at the moment - keep up these videos and this vibe
Great video Randy! Not sure if new editor recently but vids looking so much more cleaner and nice touches in there. Love the long content!
you should do a video of getting pairs of the same grade cards from psa or ace (both cards as same grade and same grader) take them our of the slabs and send them to both to psa and ace separately comparing how close the grade would be to the two grading teams.
Daaaaaamn, love seeing all the ACE labels! I want that 2006 Charizard from Miracle Crystal, insane card. Ace label makes it 1000x better too 😮💨
randy looking chadded up 💪my guy! love the return to pokemon stuff, the new mobile pocket game got me addicted again :)
Fantastic video, would love to see you come to a Canadian show or the Pokémon Toronto regionals in December Randy, love from Canada ❤
love this my little girl got me back into pokemon after many years and now i have some cards in for grading with ace and one of them is for her for xmas as she loves the pokemon etc
where do ace graded card prices even come from?
The craziest video I think I've ever seen. Love the cards, hope you find a way to keep hold of some of them!
Looking forward to this video since the Japan Vlogs!
Just a thought, you can try and send the cards that have a 8 due to the surface getting a 7 to a cleaning service. They break the slab, carefully clean the card, and get it regraded. Most of the time they get a higher grade. Since its mostly the surface, there is a very high chance of it getting 9 or higher when getting regraded.
I’ve just set up an account with ace and set a submission up hopefully be sending some in next week
Randy, loving these recent videos. And Please don't worry about the video being short or long, we will watch it regardless of you 🤣❤️ Congrats on the 10s!!
I hope to get these slabs here in the Philippines for my personal collection. They look amazing! 🔥
Do a video of you grading cards through ace then take out slabs off and resend to psa see how good they are or grade through psa then resend through ace
Ace looks really legit. Love the matching colors
Excited to hopefully meet ya in HTX Rand, maybe I can snag an ace graded card
It’s cool seeing the ace grading packaging. I hope you soon become as reputable as the psa gradings that would be cool to see
As I assume the gradings are transferable? Or is a psa 9 worth more than an ace 9?
@@cameronburton7825 PSA is worth more but that's due to them being a bigger brand. Who knows what it may look like in a few years though.
@@cameronburton7825 PSA will be worth more just due to it being a more well known grading company
Love it Randy any chance of getting a cool yugioh pack open?
Love the ACE labels Randy ❤ any of these gonna be for sale on the website??
Question: Is the cost of the grading included in the "Paid" Price that is shown in the video or is it "just" the raw card price?
8:49 Please tell me that’s a typo… 1,5k for a mudkip?
PSA 9 english it's $2.3k.
What was the total net?
Does Ace grade the Gold Metal cards from UPC?
yoo the weightloss went crazy, i never noticed it until just now
How difficult are these cards to sell with an Ace Grading compared to the more common PSA and CGC?
How have you figured out market value for ACE cards, or is it like the equivalent of solds for like PSA ect..
He's pricing them like psa lol
Ebay, whatnot etc
@@DCaot Fair, i dont see ACE cards going for the same as PSA usually 10% to 20% less value depending on the card.
some of those cards look beautiful as that umbreon in 10 i would keep myself as love umbreon best of eevee forms but its shame you cant keep one maybe for yourself as who knows when you egt the same card again to grade and get same grade etc.
13:04 that Gengar is gorgeous 😍😍
Drink every time he’s says ace 😭😭😭
Thinking of getting some cards submitted as I’m going down the rabbit hole
Aces labels are the best in the industry, just amazing!
Can you grade any card collections on Ace?
randys been looksmaxxing, i see you!!!! u should open some more 151s
I gut like every base se card and there all 1st edition how do I get them graded in UK?
Sadly as nice as these labels are it’s not PSA, BGS, or CGC 😢. It’s basically raw pricing.
Not true 😂😭
Why am I enjoying these videos? I have never even seen a pokemon card
Love the gengar but for me masaki gengar with the ace label would be my grail. i seen you looking at a few did you pick any up
I did… and I got the grade back 👀
It was a separate submission to this one though.
Not sure where to post it haha
That expedition zard incredible 😍
I have so many cards but I dont have the money to get them graded and some of them would get really good grades.
GEM MINT 10 ON THE DIAMOND AND PEARL CHARIZARD IS INSANE
Excited to see the grades 🍀
Good evening sir! Looking forward to this one! ❤️ PS The vlogs were amazing btw!
Hey Randy, is Ace Grading available in Canada yet?
Yep!
Does Ace grading have a perfect/pristine 10? For cards that get all 10’s in sub grades?
Nope
Does the card value drop abit cause its in japanese or no?
Randy!!!💯💯🔥🔥You a real one💯💯🔥🔥
Forgive me for asking this, it might just be my lack of knowledge on the subject. But after watching a UA-cam called Karl Jobst he explained that you perhaps can’t/shouldn’t get items graded from a company you own/have stakes/shares is as it might be seen as a conflict of interest, or is this totally okay because you have nothing to do with the grading side and the business relationship is fully transparent, loving the content I just had this on my mind, if someone could answer I’d be greatful thank you. Also you and Deep Pocket Monsters is why I care about Pokemon, keep that shit up.
Those high value 10s are INSANE, props on your scouting skill on those gem mints, I think the color contrast of the raichu card makes people think it's not centered, just like the black line on hidden fates cards, Looking lower where the colors are similar it is pretty well within 60/40 for centering. or maybe centering is based on the red lines on the back which looks spotless?
Yo Randy im gonna be at Collectecon Houston. do you have a table or are you just walking around?
Table 👏
Randy looking healthy af btw 👌
Yeah I’m getting more into the Japanese cards now
Hey Randy the only conference I go to is gen con in Indianapolis, any plans to go in 2025?
No plans currently
Please bring down the minimum for America 😭 I haven’t graded any of my collection and was going to send it to psa but rather support your company and the slabs just make the card look way better.
Can I regrade my PSA cards with ACE? Plus my wife is addicted to the Disney Lorcana TCG do they grade them 🙏
Yep, Ace does a crossover service where you can send in any graded card from another company and get it graded by Ace
@@RandolphPokemon AWSOME thanks i will be regrading my cards with you guys 💪
E-reader 10 shiny raichu is insaaaaaane
Amazing Returns 🔥🔥
Its good seeing what ya paid t what its worth Randolph
Keep the long format for these videos. 👍
Epic cards. Would love to pick up some gold stars. 🤓🤓🤓👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Is this available for philippines?
Brooooo I just got back that rayquaza from psa and it was a 9 😢
Can I send my cards to be traded from Australia, by ACE grading?
Yep!
Lovely video Randy
My PSA slabs now seem very very ugly in comparison...
Congrats on the 10s 👏👏👏👏🔥
Question remains - did he make money grading his pokemon cards from Japan?
Its true with the surface im bad for checking lol
Just wondering if you told anyone in Japan that your most popular video on your channel is with Logan Paul. 😮
Are these prices ace 10s. Surely PSA worth alot more
Does that mean your daughter is a team rocket fan lol 🤣
OMG RANBOB REVEAL
I personally am not a fan of the colourful labels. I prefer having a uniform look with collectibles and I just feel like all the different colours make it look a bit childish and a little less professional. But that’s just my opinion. I’m sure a lot of people prefer the colours. Either way it’s nice to have the option for people
You gotta diversify when the product is so simple.
@@IceValley388 it depends on the target audience. For me I’m a bit OCD so the different colours would irritate me. But for more of a younger audience they probably prefer the colours
Ace does standard labels too
...and breathe Randolph
Only 37? The videos made it seem like you bought 100s
These are just the top ones 😊
These slabs hit bro😮
When you next posting RDZ
I think the art on thr ace grading is great, id much rather that than a plain, boring one.
finally u ditched the man bun, hair lookin fresh now
hello uncle randy
Raichu paid voor half of the cards 😮
looks like Randy lost a few pounds, looking hella good or is it just the haircut
wow 10 🔥
Every time I look at UA-cam comments it reminds me how there are actually people that watch videos and follow people with the intent of wanting to project failures and perceived negatives in the comments even when they don’t exist. It’s like they see everything through this lens of how can I make someone feel like their doing wrong or bad even when everything is completely normal and right. I just don’t understand how people are like that in this minority, I wonder why they are like that and react in that way, is it to feel better than other people and especially people with followers because they’re insecure?
Corocoro 😍
