Very informative, thanks Andy.

[@homeroscollection]

This was awesome information.

[@RusekGames]

Amazing video, and only 950 views 😭❤

[@coydiggity194]

Thanks Andy...would a manufacturer's cut that leaves a little fuzz on the edge affect the grade negatively? Outside of the fuzz, edges appear the be in great shape.

Wonder when they are gonna take my cards to grade school.....been a whole month in recieved.

[@DeviationSportsCards]

Can’t wait for all the “I can’t believe they don’t wear gloves” comments to start! 😂

[@bradlonkey3224]

okay but for real, why don't I ever see people wearing gloves when pulling packs or grading? Something to do with a more delicate handling of the cards? Nitrile gloves these days can be very thin and some even have a special surface on the finger pads that mimics the tiny grooves of a fingerprint (for better tactility). It seems Oil from fingers would likely reek havoc on certain card types...but idk...

@@bradlonkey3224 There's a video on that coming up!

Never wear covers when grading a card! Ever

[@thomashitz3040]

Thanks for showing the grading process to us. Do you use black light as well to figure out ink spots and alterations of the card?

[@CGCCards]

Black lights are used in the process. We will get the team to work on a video about how black light is used as that is an essential tool for graders. Thanks.

[@thomashitz3040]

Nice - curious for this section.

Hi when you talk about corners, I just happen to have a pokemon card which are rounded, and mine happens to have 2 corners still partially attached...wound that be an error?

[@kevinlauerigh6893]

How long does this process generally take per card? Also I’m assuming more time is dedicated to bigger cards? Thanks for the video!

[@Shadow-ud9qo]

As you saw in the video.. this is the old way.. and a computer does it in 7 seconds..

[@asambi69]

I always thought Graders just gave me grades based on how bad of a day they are having.

[@CharlieDennis-qp9iu]

I can’t believe they don’t wear gloves
