I payed a $50 premium at Beckett to grade my first card ever and to get it back within a certain time. It’s past due and it hasn’t even emailed me the grade yet! To PSA I go next lol. Thanks for your videos brother I watch almost all of them while I enjoy my morning before work!
HOPPING INTO BED AND GOING TO WATCH EVERY SECOND OF THIS. 🎉. PSA returns are like Christmas morning…happy for you man
Thank you homie 🙏🏼🔥
We are witnessing Orion’s great purge and he’s getting dialed in more than ever.
Hahaha thank you G I’m really trying to dial in for sure and it’s hard to let go of stuff but it’s a part of my evolution as a collector all puns intended 😎🔥🙏🏼
You said you hadn’t made solid content in a while in this video and I disagree, you’ve been killing it in 2025 with content. Love seeing the POV day in the life when buying pokemon cards and the car videos. And that PSA 5 Gengar EX is my favorite from the whole stack 😂 I’d potentially want to buy it if you ever sold it. I’m also in Charlotte!
Thanks homie! Appreciate the love and support! Also maybe we can link at my bar and do a cash deal? Join the discord fam or dm me on Insta🙏🏼🔥
Incredible first PSA sub! Congrats on all the great grades defiantly worth it.
I'm still learning but I'm already addicted lol 😂
And thank you homie ! 🙏🏼
Congrats man! That’s pretty good for your first submission and doing that many cards. Its a good learning curve seeing the cards encased and you can spot the flaws for the future. Also review all your cards that did not 10 because some of them might be worth cracking and sending back in!
Thanks man I’m learning a lot! And oh you best believe I’ll be cracking 😂😎
congrats on the sub bro! been outta the pokemon game for a minute, but looking to toss myself back in the mix lol
Thanks homie! It’s a fun hobby, and a good time to get back into it! 😎🔥although I took a break myself too was getting stressful and overthinking purchases 🤷🏻♀️
Just sent my Lugia V alt art in. This gave me a really good idea of how PSA grades their cards, enjoyed seeing a large submission! That Giratina and Evolving Skies Eeveelutions are my favorite :)
Yeah it’s interesting for sure to see how they graded everything and I feel despite only getting the 10’s I did, I feel they graded semi fair. I do think they screwed me on a few 9’s that had great potential to 10 but that’s the game. Lugia V is awsome good luck fam. 😎🤌🏻🔥
I pulled the same and wanna grade it, it’s perfect condition but like a tiny bit off center but I used tools and it showed 10 and 9
Aye bro I think you need another chain lol
I can never have too many ! But real talk I wanna consolidate my chains and just get a thick Cuban link unfortunately a genuine 18k link I’m thinking of getting is like 20-30k lol for one necklace so I’ll get there eventually 😎🔥
@@orionsires On a real note After looking at your channel I feel like we'd be good friends 😂 I love pokemon, sneakers, cars and even drive a BMW too! Def subbed for the journey
Good lessons here. The reveals are fun to watch. First off the grading is so subjective, I just never realized how much though. I am only going to send in cards (someday) that I pulled or have in my hands to look at. I think it is safe to assume that a lot of cards that have been out for a while with a huge price gap between raw and PSA 10 have been sent in for a subpar grade, cracked, then eBay'ed. I don't fault the sellers, this hobby is so much about the money.
Pretty much spot on. Like no one’s going to accept an L from psa so for me cracking is a no brainer. I don’t normally do that but if you’re grading you kinda have to especially if it’s super modern and they give you an 8 like they did to me. It actually has a negative impact on the value sadly. 🤷🏻♀️ but yeah lots to learn 😎
Wanted to say sorry for coming at you days ago on a different video, I apologize and appreciate your videos truly! Was one of your 800 subs! Insane bro proud .
Appreciate the support, homie! No need to apologize I’m not always right and I’m gonna be wrong in the future. I don’t remember what the context was but hey forgive and forget. You saying that says a lot about your character anyways. People who apologize for anything are willing to drop their pride and I respect it. 😎🔥
Congrats on your PSA return 🔥wait isn’t white dot should make most card a 9 ? 😂 psa 10 on that Zapdos ex and Charizard ex is crazy 😂
I thought so too but it’s all about centering 😂😎 breh
Great video love seeing all the grades! Ima try and send a few here shortly!
Thanks Guimo I appreciate it, you should and when you do be very strict on the qualities of the card because they will be too 😎🔥
@ for sure! I’ve looked at them a couple times over now😂
Word of advice! PSA quietly changed the standard for centering from 60/40 to 55/45. It will no longer be as easy to get a fringe 10. Think very carefully before giving them your money moving forward. They are being lowkey about this change to not discourage people from sending their cards in.
I was notified recently but it’s good you left this comment because others need to read it 🔥 I still think people will be able to slip in the cracks I am going to keep experimenting despite the update 😂🤷🏻♀️
@@orionsiresdid they change it on the website for the standards?
Thanks for the heads-up! I was thinking about sending cards into PSAGemMint10, but now I'll be more wary.
Great return. How long was the wait on grading?
Thanks Frank, so it came a bit early and I definitely lucked out. My other sub is moving VERY slow. They haven’t even accepted it in yet. And it’s been about two weeks. So I think right now psa is absolutely bogged down. Especially with the CGC scandal. 😂😭
Nice hit on that tina! Solid
Thanks G 🙏🏼🔥
One thing I've learned is that it's worth risking it a little bit on your cards with PSA. Used to get around 90% PSA 10s and now I get more like 65% - but I also take a lot more chances. Worth it imo. Also, assuming they upcharged you on that Tina?
Yeah man, it’s about the journey too, and it’s the gamble that keeps you on your toes. They did upcharge me on Tina but almost like nothing else. 😎🔥
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks Marc!! Glad you enjoyed this one 🔥🙏🏼
I've been told by a grading company in New Zealand that basically no Ancient Mew should really ever get a 10. They generally all have print lines on them, the lines can't really be seen easily without a microscope.
Wow thanks for bringing that to my attention ok so in that case just be happy with my 9 and call it a W 😎🔥
Thin on the bottom on the vmax’s seems to be what the card is supposed to be. I guess since it doesn’t have a boarder on top they made them thinner. I look for centered text on the bottom. If it’s so thin that text isn’t centered I don’t grade them.
Interesting thanks for sharing your experience 😎
@ look at the black label for reference. They are thin as well
Its more fun if you wait till you get the slabs back instead of looking up the grades
Couldn’t agree more….way more exciting waiting
I know it is but it was too tempting my G 😭🤣 ok maybe next one 🔥
What’s the turn around time for PSA now?
It’s like 50 days for bulk 17$ a card it’s kinda brutal tbh but I’m gonna keep trying my hand at it 😂
@@orionsires man that's rough haha! Wanna send the few I have but might just wait till I collect more raw cards at this point
Excited for this one 🍿
It’s gonna be a good time 😎🔥
Ace grading from the UK definitely look the best if you are just collecting for looks
Right I have heard of ace I know they are bigger over there 😎
Everyone lumping PSA in, I'm willing to bet money that PSA doesn't "authenticate" the cards....they "authenticate" that it's a real slab. Why would they authenticate a card that's already in a slab....You buy a CGC 10, they aren't authenticating the card inside the slab is a real card...they are authenticating that the slab you bought is a real CGC 10 slab.
True didn’t think of it that way, makes a lot of sense good point 😎
Legendary video and i haven't even watched it yet.
Haha thanks boss I really went hard on this sub 😎🔥
Yo lets go! I regret letting go some of my cards from ES. Really 🔥 arts.
Hey I let some stuff go early too you can always buy it back homie 😎🔥
W submission. Psa 10 tina was the highlight. 1500$ in a 10!
Tina was a W for sure man that card probably made me the happiest in the return that and the zards was hype 🔥
Congrats on your sub! Crack and resubmit those clean 9s my man
You already know I’m on it 😎🔥
What PSA got stricter with their PSA 10s? I was wondering why I got a 9 on a card I would have put money on getting a 10.
Haven’t been paying attention to their emails 😅
I haven’t either, my buddy Jake just let me in on it not sure how he knew that either 🤣
Sheeeesh 😮💨
Hahaha keep watching 🤣🔥
Is the Glaceon case cracked in the bottom left?
Nah scuffed tho, they DID slightly chip my newly graded Vmax mew 😎🔥😭
If cgc does the right thing and retrieves the slabs and issues refunds then i think people will begin to forgive them. But for me i wouldnt buy from them unless its a modern card
No for sure. I honestly think CGC will survive this. People just love to exaggerate 🤷🏻♀️… on the other hand… it’s bad 🤣🥴
How long does it usually take for something to go through the authentication on eBay?
Bruh it’s taking my last purchase a lifetime like lowkey a week plus 😎😭
But SHOULD be a few days tops
@@orionsires yea I shipped something out and it’s been stuck there for a min and I don’t want the buyer to give me a bad review cause it’s taking so long. So it kinda worried me.
I'm a CGC fan boy and idk anymore.... "CGC why you do this😭" I'm starting to look at ACE grading now
Hey man CGC won’t be fully abandoned by its use base but I do worry if they can remedy this effectively they’ll be good. No one wants to see a company like that in this space totally implode 😭 have faith homie! 🙏🏼
Ill probbaly still get cgc and just break the slabs, not gunna grade with them. Might still get pristine 10s tho
Honestly not a bad move, I think cgc is great for crossing too tbh and the prestines do look good I’ll admit 😎🔥
I love your videos and the card communist. Both are just normal collectors that don’t make over the top cringy content
Thanks Justin I appreciate the support. Maybe my channel grows slowly but I’m not making cringe thumbnails, exaggerating stories, creating drama or doing giveaways to bribe subs. I truly want a dedicated loyal following of people who appreciate what I bring to the table face value. So thank you it means a ton. 😎🤌🏻🤌🏻
Tbh that lugias centring is fine. The white dots are a shambles though on a 10
Hate to see it but at the same time thank the lord I got the grades I did get 🤣
@@orionsiresdo u know what i realised with psa, their standard of grade changes with the set/type of card. For example with SV the standards low for 10s cause the print quality is so bad. So they sometimes let white dots on the back pass etc. for example some japanese psa 9 cards seem flawless to the naked eye but they grade them so harshly cause the standards so much higher. Thats why ur sv cards passed probably and your swsh didnt as the print quality was better.
Maaan I would resubmit the second zard,imo it’s definitely a con10der, and better than the first one.
Right?? They dogged me on some of the better ones for sure 🤣
how does that first charizard come back a 9? Can anyone explain
I definitely felt slightly shafted but truth is you can see very small whitening on the corners I just feel like that’s normal for American quality cards. All of the sudden they seem to be slowing down handing modern 10’s out. I still made out great I think but sheeeeesh 😂 some of those were brutal!
I would be pissed if my "gem mint 10" cards came back off center, white dots etc. PSA reputation is going down the drain. If it says gem mint, I would expect perfection. Exactly why I would never buy slabs online. Only in person so I can inspect these so called gem mints 10s. What a scam 😮
True I feel that but I don’t think their rep is going downhill anytime soon 😎
Yep I didn’t buy cards because the back was like 70/30 lol no way it’s a real 10
Buy the card not the grade
@@orionsires already did to me ;)
@cashmerefire7335 the grade makes thr card being bought more expensive
They will most likely go bankrupt.
Maybe we’ll see
Black label Poncho pikachus are cooked
Why the bgs ponchos ? 🤣
@@orionsires Beckett finna skyrocket if cgc gone
People just accepting there's a 50/50 chance the better condition card receives a lower grade has been blowing my mind for years now.
Thanks for the video!
It's definitely a gamble for sure! Like honestly it does frustrate me a little but you gotta understand these are humans grading too. They have stuff they are dealing with and there’s gonna be quality control issues. But yeah just how it goes sometimes man 😭🤣
TAG grading better ngl
So I’ve heard? Might send to them soon 😎
Jeese not a great sub - just impossible to get the 10s eh
Well 45% of the sub was 10’s so honestly went pretty well considering, but there were some brutal back to back ones for sure 😂
Thise chains 😂😂😂 mid-life crisis much?? 😂😂😂
Speaking from experience?
Projecting much ? 🤣
It’s ok I’ll let this one slide since I think you wanted to help the algos anyways :)
cgc is done
Cooked 😂 nah I’m sure they’ll survive 🥴
@@orionsires most likely but they have to play it right.
Any white spots will drop it to a 9.
Typically yes but as shown you can slip through the cracks, they might have been responsible for the dots too. Never know if the grader messes up and gives it a 10 cause they don’t wanna feel bad. 🤣😂😭 just a theory I have
Unsub
Thank you for letting me know my ego has officially burst, also I appreciate the comment for the algos 😂
@ nope pokerev is better than u 🤡
I payed a $50 premium at Beckett to grade my first card ever and to get it back within a certain time. It’s past due and it hasn’t even emailed me the grade yet! To PSA I go next lol. Thanks for your videos brother I watch almost all of them while I enjoy my morning before work!
Hey thanks man, sorry it’s taking so long usually grading is a slow process so it’s good to make submissions frequently ! 😎🙏🏼 GL!
