Always fun watching the struggle as people try and figure out how other humans came to a subjective conclusion about the grade of a card. It can be such a head scratcher some time.
I used to collect these cards when I was a kid. I have a full run of series 1, 2 and 3. I have stacks and stacks of duplicates for series 2 and 3 (mostly 2) but I have no idea whatever happened to my series 1 duplicates. Hopefully I will come across them one day. Anyhow, I have been sending some of the best condition duplicates out to get graded. I haven't gotten anything back yet but I am excited to see what I get for conditions.
Funny how Darkhawk made it into a video.....Stunning!!! Lol!!! Are you going to display these cards?? And you should do a quick video on “Displaying your Collection”. And I mean that in terms of comics. What shelves to use....what you used....how does light affect them while displayed....how do slabs protect comics from UV damage vs. Mylars and where to display them in relation to light sources and windows. Just a thought!!!
I have so many of these cards and about 2 years ago because of all the marvel movies and there popularity popularity I figured these cards might go up in value fortunately I was lucky enough to grow up with a dad who understood how to take care of comic books and such so they're all really great condition. Thanks for all the great information keep up the great work!
Thanks for being the guinea pig for the rest of us, Swag. 😂 Cards seem to be graded waaaay harsher than comics. I think I’ll keep my Marvel cards raw for now and save those dollars for the grail hunt.
Nice video - I love having the cards in the cases for pure nostalgia, as well. That's how I learned about the characters back in the day, by reading the backs. Now I need to film my video...
Interesting I'm still holding onto a full set of mint marvel masterpiece series 1 I literally haven't taken them out of the plastic case for 25 years. I still don't understand why they aren't worth more....
Haven't sent any of my cards in for grading but have watched quite of few of these "reveal" videos. It's very clear to me that the graders are inconsistent at best. We are at the mercy of who the grader is and possibly what mood they are in at the time of grading.
I never got into collecting Marvel Cards. I was working as a camp counselor in 1990 or 91 when they came out and the kids all had them. They were amazed at how much I knew about all the characters !
Loved this set . I sold my doubles of this Impel set and the inaugural DC cards for a good profit BEFORE the nostalgia bubble burst. Nice to see your excitement and gratitude on your shipment.
Heyyy they finally came back! I feel ya with wait times on grading. I have a couple books from Torpedocon in July that are still waiting to even be cleaned at CCS before they get graded so hopefully I get them at some point this year 😂
Swagglehaus this was Great!!!. I remember your first videos back in February And March. Very so much made an impact for me to get back into hobby. Still waiting for 50 cards that I submitted mid March. Love your Marvel card content. Would love to join on a Video and talk Marvel cards if you were up for it!!!. Great cards man...love it.
I'm still waiting on 7 or 8 cards i sent in around the same time. They were sent in by a third party company as a bulk sub. So it may take 2 years before i see them.
I love these cards! I had never seen these before, they are so cool. I don't collect cards, but this video still scratches an itch somewhere inside me! And if you DO decide to sell any of these, I'd take that PSA 6 X-Men off your hands for you ;)
Very jealous, lol, JK but really it is a crazy amount of time. I did the same and sent it in at the lowest level, as a bit of a test as well. Fingers crossed they come back soon. I feel my results will reflect yours. Fun nonetheless!
I baught 2 boxes of packs when I was 12. Built a full set and tons of extras. 10 Stan Lee extras. 5 years ago I gave all my marvel and DC cards to my nephew. Will let him know they have gone up in value and see if he wants me to help sell some.
I was inspired by you and Neo to send some in to PSA at the end of March 2021 - still in 'Grading' status. Your results have lowered my expectations, but mine did not get get near food nor drink !
I like to grade cards and love 90 MU BUT these are so hard to grade! I recently sent in 2 that I had thought were the best of the best of 100s of cards (freshly pack pulled too) and they got.....5s!!!! Perfect centering, perfect everything including surface. I inspect the hell out of the cards I send in and if I have any doubt I hold them. It was really eye opening how hard these are to grade 10. Either that or PSA just hates these cards and is sick of grading them in the backlog so is giving us bad grades to discourage us sending more LOL
@@richardolney1822 I think I figured it out. Same thing happened to Scandell, if they are at all faded/slightest on the borders (I mean you cant tell unless you have a 10 example, its like white to slight off-white) they are automatic 5s. I don't know how it happens, but it can be an entire sealed box that you just broke and sent in and if they have that slightly less than pure white border, they are 5s! Which seems kinda harsh but it's pretty clear to me now when I compare other 10s I have to those 5s and also watching Scandell's video reveal. There are just so many nuances to grading certain sets its crazy.
Unfortunately there is no "press and clean" for the card market (outside of maybe wiping cards with cotton balls or microfiber cloth)...I don't think PSA does grader notes, atleast I didn't get any.
I have a box of cards from that series 2 that I have had kicking around from moving. I bet they're all like grade 3 by this time ;s I have a complete collection of it, I don't think there's any Holo's tho.
Hey Swag check out the precious metal gems and do a video on those. The prices are insane! My buddy told me about them and I checked it out for myself and its nuts.
@@Swagglehaus I've been doing the same. It's hard because you don't want to start another thing but then you realize the price of some of these cards blowing away golden age and silver age books.
Awesome grading info, your videos are so informative. I do have a question. My wife collected pokemon cards 1995. I discovered a whole binder full, does this PSA company grade those cards. Thank you for everything sir
My childhood 1990 collection probably aren’t 10s. Just nice to enjoy what was saved from my childhood and thankfully they didn’t get thrown away What’s the average cost to get one card graded?
Are these cards valuable? I collected my cards new back in 1990 when I was in fifth grade. They're sitting in the same three-ring binder and nine-card plastic sleeves they've always been in. Are they worth digging up?
I really enjoyed this as I have had the series one set in a binder since new! I am curious though, did you have any of the holograms, or are they notorious for getting a low grade? Thanks for the content.
I sent in cards at thr same time but at $75 a pop. Got 1 10, the rest 8s and 9s except two ridiculous 6s where I also couldn't find a flaw. Luckily I got a 9 on a hologram card and made most of my money back on that cards sale.
I have graded 1000+ TCG cards with PSA in the past. I find the cards that get a 6 with so real reason are due to a dent in the card somewhere. It's invisible unless you get the light to hit it in just the right way. I find a PSA 10 card with a small invisible dent goes down to a 6. I'm guessing that's what's on your Xmen card.
About how much does PSA charge per card to grade?I have a lot of singles and sets of Marvel cards that's why I was wondering. How is the best way to ship them to PSA so there safe.Just came across your channel and subscribed and liked
I don’t know if for trading cards there are people that can press and clean them before submitting for grading. If so, did you consider doing that prior to your submission?
$20 a card to gray is highway robbery now. The cheapest you can even get anything is $50 and they only let you send in a few of them great job even though you had to wait
Swaggle you really should have mentioned the larger context of when the Marvel cards blew up. This happened deep during lock down, once comics had already started their ascension. But also, and most importantly, there was no sports during this time. REMEMBER! And this uptick in comic cards came from SPORTS CARDS COLLECTORS and not comic collectors, who just jumped on board because every comic collector has a stash of these somewhere. Sports card collecting is really degenerates to the max ( I said what I said!) and without sports, they turned their attention to comic cards, garbage pail kids, etc. and drove up prices.
I don't get the excitement of these. I have like 4 full sets with the holos and two unopened boxes of series 1 in my closet. I would rather send in the holos cards for slabbing since those were the rares in the set.
Funny how collectors will say CGC is better than CBCS because of the label, but then favor PSA even though their label looks like it was designed by a librarian.
Hmmm, so basically unless you have more money that you know what to do with and think it's ok to give most of it to the grading company regardless of what grade you're going to get, it's not worth it for the regular working stiff.
my thoughts on marvel cards when the market fell hard in the 90s is meh hold onto them maybe they be worth enough for a burger. came back 20 years later and the value explodes.
So when u send something in you gotta kinda like guess what grade u can get like u add the flaws, dies this count for Comics, id thought they were getting paid to grade 🤔 stuff on their own and none of your help?
Does CGC make you do the same as to think of your estimate of the comic dam they are getting paid and taking so long to return a product they should be doing all the work .
No I just wrote down the grades for myself so that I could be reminded of what I thought they were when I got them back. They do all the grading for you.
Grading is just all-around brutality. Spend loads of money to wait forever to have a collectible come back in a grade less than it deserves. Thanks for making the video Swag
The marvel cards - especially the 1992 masterpieces got me into comics when I was a kid. Lots of nostalgia

That silver surfer card is my all time favorite marvel card!!the hologram is also great!!👍
Ah man. Your marvel card video was what brought me to your channel. Was fun to see “part 2”. Always enjoy the content!
Love the Impel set. Still have a full set myself from when i was a kid

Good for you! PSA still has 10 of my cards in the grading process. Today is actually one year that PSA has had my cards.

These antique shops out here in pa are great. I doing the entire 1991 marvel collection in it's entirety in one of em. Lots of mint comics
Glad I bought all these before the hype last year
14 months sheeeeeeeesh 😱 still very cool, my guy!

Omg that first card video was so long ago - even marvel metal picked up a bit since then, never thought I'd sell them!
I know nothing about card grading. Always loved the Marvel Masterpiece cards.
Yeah that artwork is amazin! I think these cards are a nice little addition to comics
Very jealous, lol, JK but really it is a crazy amount of time. I did the same and sent it in at the lowest level, as a bit of a test as well. Fingers crossed they come back soon. I feel my results will reflect yours. Fun nonetheless!
I’d be happy especially with the 9s on some of the better cards in the set..
More marvel card content please and thank you!
Just the enjoyment you got was totally worth it!
#193 Like 👍 ! Is that a Spyderco Para Military 2 ? Have complete set of series 2 and a bunch of extras !
Ive been thinking about sending my cards in
I’m still waiting on my cards. PSA received them April of last year. Still stuck in the grade stage. Good grades btw!
I baught 2 boxes of packs when I was 12. Built a full set and tons of extras. 10 Stan Lee extras. 5 years ago I gave all my marvel and DC cards to my nephew. Will let him know they have gone up in value and see if he wants me to help sell some.
Great video per usual! Love this set and debating if I should send in my set and holos but 14 months and $20 a card… bruh
And now the cheapest tier is $100/card ($50 during special promotions with membership).
@@IronMikeNelson do you have experience with cgc grading these marvel cards or other grading companies? Thanks!
@@justindavis5242 just PSA. I submitted a bunch about a week before Swaggle's submission.
Psa is a rip off and they don’t grade consistently
I was inspired by you and Neo to send some in to PSA at the end of March 2021 - still in 'Grading' status. Your results have lowered my expectations, but mine did not get get near food nor drink !
🤣
Most Rookie cards are in 1987 comic images. 1st cards w original art and character info on backs. Plus full set 90 cards.

Woot!!
enjoyed video. how much did it cost to get them graded. thanks for sharing!!
Hey Swag check out the precious metal gems and do a video on those. The prices are insane! My buddy told me about them and I checked it out for myself and its nuts.
Yeah! I've been slowly educating myself on that part of the market. I think I might do a marvel card video next week
@@Swagglehaus I've been doing the same. It's hard because you don't want to start another thing but then you realize the price of some of these cards blowing away golden age and silver age books.
I just brought this whole collection for under $100
Will be sending a bunch of cards to psa for grade
Do you they tell u why they got the grade given
Good question. I dont think they send graders notes unfortunately
@@Swagglehaus for the money that you're paying they should. How r we going to know how they grade or to what degree flaws are considered
Sickkkkkk Marvel Cards!!!

Should link the first video from 14 months ago. Nothing wrong with 8s, that's mint.
It’s not mint … an 8 is Near Mint. 😂
I have two sealed boxes of X-Men trading cards. Do you think they would be worth breaking open and possibly submitting them for grading?
You have more value in keeping those boxes sealed and reselling the boxes.

No that would be card altering and a no no in the hobby… the most you should do is microfiber wipe the card for fingerprints or dust.
How much dis you pay to get all those cards graded

My. How far your channel has grown since your first card videos. I thought you would never get those cards back. They are worse than CGC lol.
I have a huge marvel card I would like to sell them all at least 200 card in great condition

The 90 MU stuff still sells quite strong but only in 10's.
Yeah that makes sense. If PSA ever opens up it’s $20 option again. I think I would do another submission.

Marvel cards !?!?
Can u just do what there worth
boring why not grade the holos?
Grading is just all-around brutality. Spend loads of money to wait forever to have a collectible come back in a grade less than it deserves. Thanks for making the video Swag
Psa is like $50 a card if you don’t get a 9 your losing money
The fact that you don't even know what the defects are tells me all i need to know.
Comic grading money wasted on card grading IMO.
💯 greed and hype got him to go with 90 mu and psa.
Lol he sent these in at the highest of hype and he didn’t get them back for 14 months. Now the market has shifted and his cards are worthless. Karma.
Your 48 emails are giving me anxiety
You've pretty much lost all your money. Yikes!
