I will go to my grave believing that card grading has without question done more harm than good for the card collecting hobby/industry. More often than not it will make you feel worse about the cards you use to value unless you get a 10, is wildly inconsistent, and tends to reinforce the terrible notion that the only cards worth collecting are the ones that can be sold for decent money.
Straight up homie. On a person plus side though, it made me realize if I like the art, I'll totally buy a scuffed back card. Because I'm not selling it and that's not the side you see in the binder.
I agree, I've been in the hobby for many years. I don't just collect pokemon. I have tons of tcgs all over my house. My wife's favorite pokemon is jigglypuff and for Christmas I got her an 8.5 jigglypuff because it was a good deal and much cheaper than any other listing on ebay. It's the first and only graded card in my house.
I don’t even care about the condition of any card that much unless it’s super bad, never understood why people put such a premium on it. It’s not that type of scarcity that matters to me.
Spot on Nick! Grading is a complete joke. The sooner we the collectors all just snub grading, the better off we will all be. I have a binder full of perfect cards, I don’t need the opinion of a stupid corrupt company to tell me that.
Whats your thoughts on paradox rift cards. The ancient and future style ones. I finally decided to get some Im actually liking the look of some of them cards, especially the two tone look.
@@OpossumBud iron jugulis reverse Holo and iron moth Holo. Nice looking cards. Iron moth has a cool beedrill feel to it. Also, Happy New Year OPB to you and the family, All the best in 2024.
Had all the plans in the world to grade everything a couple years ago-now i love my binders with all the cards in order of the way i think it looks cool. Grading has taken a grand canyon dive in the past year and a half.
Just wanted to share I’m pretty sure this was a CGC 9.5 that bumped to a 10. So could’ve been a 9.5 with 9 edge or corner subgrade and with the updated grading change was converted to a 10. If I’m wrong lmk
My favorite cards I got this year were my Japanese gold star mewtwo and my Thai tag team misty and lorelei. Happy new years big guy keep up the awesome content into next year.
Card get a CGC 8.5, video gets a 8.5, 2023 gets a 7.0, by new grading standards this post get a 10.0 pristine...... see how that works.... Happy new year
If I had the money I'd buy it off Radar and crack it and get it graded at PSA, and then crack that and send it to BGS. Then I'd send it to Rudy and see how his grading company does. (and then I would send it back to CGC to get it reholdered into the 10 by sending in the plastic and the cert even though I know they wouldn't take it back). Would be a fun experiment to see who is honest (none of them are, grading is subjective)
Not saying that PSA is flawless either, but contrast this with how PSA graded a 1 of 1 card (The One Ring from the LotR MtG set) as a Mint 9. Food for thought.
Hey opposum bud. Love your content. Keep it real man and be you always. I have a question. What type of printer would be best to use if I'm using it for like basic grading and other basic uses?
Happy new year Mario & CGC also have massively screwed up with comics recently some huge drama with reholder scams the last couple of weeks so they may not be the go to for much longer
I'll say it again for the people in the mf'n back... We as a community can value RAW cards just as valuable as we value 10s. If its Mint it shouldn't matter that it has a dumb case with a number on it. Mint is Mint PERIOD!!!
This is why i dont really like grading, you are paying some rando to tell you how good your card is when in cases like this the grade is objectively not what it should be
I love my PSA slabs and not defending them by any means because they have their fair share of issues too but CGC has completely fallen off the cliff. This slab should not be able to be sold on the market ever.
I'm not gonna lie the pristine 10 slab is sick but everything else the changed was super questionable. Like getting rid of sub grade and getting rid of the blue in favor of the boring looking black color
I've never been a slabs person, but i've recently bought a binder that have 3 slots for slabs and i don't want to have empty slots in my binder so i'm now the proud owner of 3 graded melonys
The reason why psa is better is they dont associate person submitting to the card. They grade all equally. CGC you get it personally graded. Thus its a biased grading especially since the ceo is standing over your shoulder.
This is why I refuse to buy PSA 10's at an insane premium. It's all a joke tbh. One guy is going to give a card a 10, the next guy will give it a 9. I don't fuck with CGC anyway. They got a lot of weird shit going on with them.
Whats crazy is the fact CGC is also in the news for fucking up their comic book grading. At the moment, it seems like they have found out that an employee was reslabbing comics himself and putting whatever grade he wanted. What a shit show of a company
@@OpossumBud ya I just focused this year on personal collection and gotta say was a blast met new contacts n my gyarados collection is on point will. Tag you in pics when it's set up
This is honestly sad, cgc used to be my favorite grading companies. I stopped buying them when they changed the best labels (imo) to some standard looking cheap labels smh 🤦♂️
Nice you finished your sun and moon tag team cards I gave up after the boom I was convinced I would pick up the super chase cards once the cards drop but they only ever went up. 😢 I m happy with S&V cards so i m not that sad about not completing SM but who knows maybe one day. Idk if you noticed but in japan lots of psa9s are actually sold far bellow raw cardprices and i ve even seen some psa10s being lower than raw versions of the same card( maybe it was just a listing mistake ). I wonder if we see something like that in the western world aswell soon. Grading modern feels weird especially japanese cards.
Your so right. I mean Rev sends his cards in under another name and im sure CTR does as well. Its goofy that CGC had other content creators not long ago try to say they enjoy CGC. Lol. Crazy.
I love CGC and I use them for all my submissions. I’ve graded hundreds of cards with them and have got on average 75percent Gems mint / pristine 10s. I have never gotten a gem mint or pristine 10 that has whitening on the back or corners / edges that is visible. This is a huge mistake on CGC’s part and really disappointing for me as I use them mostly because of their strict grading.
I just started doing some grading with Beckett and I like them for grading tough and having subgrades. I’m not grading to make profit, just to encase cards I really like in my collection. Plus the chase of a Black Label is fun/impossible
Just a classic quid pro quo. You get a 10, we get promotional content. They've been doing this since they did their influencer video on their new slabs. I hope it backfires when it sells for no different than a PSA 8 or 9, and just cements their reputation as dog poo.
I wonder of a lot of these things boil down to damage during encapsulation, its possible that these cards would pass the graders and sustain damage in the step to getting in a slab, goes for all grading services, not pointing out a specific one
I totally agree with you on your statement about grading. I myself would not want to send my cards threw the mail no matter what I use to work with UPS. I remember how we packed trucks with packages wasn't always a gentle thing sorry I was young and dumb but trust me when I say it hasn't changed just saying 😮
Pika zek tag team is the best pika card out there imo , it’s the last card I need as well!! Turns out friend was selling his bgs 9.5(pretty much raw mint) for great price and just picked up earlier today 🥰
CGC was a place I was going to send stuff into but they also just had a huge comic book scandal just happen, that and this makes me not want to grade my stuff
As smpratte says, buy the card, not the grade. Always, always inspect what you buy. That’s the great thing about recent serial & their scans nowadays, you can check the high res for any issues. I still stand by grading, I’ve graded hundreds and never had a problem. But this shit makes it harder to defend it.
My favorite card I got in 2023 is probably either the Silvally GX FA from Cosmic Eclipse, or more recently the Blastoise ex SIR I got yesterday, both pulled myself, and both some of my favorite arts
Best things i got in 2023 was Cynthia from Ultra Shiny GX, Karen from Best of XY(Binder copy and PSA9 copy) and a mint Karen's Umbreon from VS, Zinnia from Dragon Storm and Rayquaza V Special Art from Blue Sky Stream.
Am i stupid for actually hoping AI grading becomes a thing? I know AGS have been sketchy, but the idea of everything being graded the same way, i like it. Theres been so many "human errors" with grading lately.
It’s a 9 at best but I’d personally say 8-8.5 but it is a beautiful card one I probably will never own radar isn’t that big of a creator in my opinion I do like his podcast and him as a person tho but I’m with you on this Idc really I haven’t graded in awhile but I did win an auction for psa 10 sars of the paldean region starters in Japanese and in sequential certs and I 1000% stole it in my opinion won the auction at $59 but I like binders I don’t grade that much and I don’t buy slabs to often either my New Year’s resolution is to focus on being a sealed collector and just buy certain singles for my binders
CGC is so bad. People love CGC because they don't actually want true and consistent grading. They're just smooth brain people who pop a little chub when 50%+ of their submission comes back as 10's when they know they're not.
Feels like CGC and PSA will give out higher grades if the person submitting has close ties to the grading companies. Or a big time influencer that can put the company out there for more exposure and lately CGC has been doing it aren't they?
This is a community where a bunch of different people do a bunch of different things. People deserve to know what companies will do if they plan on using them.
@@OpossumBud I like Radar good dude. It’s just the fact that CGC put a 10 on this card when it shouldn’t be is the issue. And it’s kind a hard to say even PSA is doing the same thing because they gave the one ring in the magic the gathering game at nine, so the argument could be made. At least PSA is trying to keep their standards.
You know influencers and pumpers get special treatment! Send in a card, make sure you put a note saying Opposum Bud, you know what to do! And guarantee you’ll get a 10! 😀 Happy New Year Brother! Figure out yet my trolling is not serious 😀 Take care! Have a PSA 1000 year!
Agree with it all. Nonsense.. But to add. If you want to Avoid the Drama. Just send it to Beckett. Zero issues track record on my end. Sent my English Classic to Beckett. Got 9 & 9.5 like it should of. Cause quality wasn't fantastic. Honest grades. PSA been good. But I did have a batch that had few damaged and they are taking forever to pay. CGC I hate everything about them. I saw the new grading. They are too lenient now. They were a royal pain before.
No they don't. They are giving 8 and 9s like crazy. And not to say PSA has been damaging cards for a period of time, but never publicly announce the issue. The inconsistency for PSA and others are crazy. But I rather get my slabs over graded than a much lower grade.e
Graded cards are overhyped! I love my raw/unslabbed cards. Nothing against ppl that wanna have their cards graded and deal in that, just not my preference. Yes, I understand that a card being graded a 9 or 10 is going to be worth more than the same card that is ungraded. I just prefer my cards in the raw state.
I’m gonna give this year a CGC 7.5
That’s a good comment lol
I will go to my grave believing that card grading has without question done more harm than good for the card collecting hobby/industry. More often than not it will make you feel worse about the cards you use to value unless you get a 10, is wildly inconsistent, and tends to reinforce the terrible notion that the only cards worth collecting are the ones that can be sold for decent money.
I really hope there is a revault against graded card services
Straight up homie. On a person plus side though, it made me realize if I like the art, I'll totally buy a scuffed back card. Because I'm not selling it and that's not the side you see in the binder.
@@keithkleparski4438there won’t be though, don’t be silly. There’s a place for authentication, preservation and condition grading. Always will be.

Well said bro, have had a tough time with both CGC then PSA on pack fresh mint stuff. Thanks for sticking up for the little guys.

It’s just so hard to not look at crap like this and be like “bro 👀”
Honestly fr this is a great take
Mad appreciate that homie 🙏🏽
Anyone else woulda got the 8.5
I can’t help but think someone else would’ve gotten a 9 based of them edges man
I will never grade solely for one reason, the lack of objectivity, which I firmly believe should be one of the standards for said process.
That’s a fair point homie a lot of people are taking their hats out of the grading ring for this reason
CGC shits the bed yet again.
Happy New Year, Nick! Hope you know how much your voice is appreciated in the hobby! It's gonna be a helluva 2024!!!

This reminds me of Logam's illustrator pikachu that was graded several times by its previous owner before it got the PsA 10
Very similar indeed 😎

Follow your heart, to me it’s not worth any of their clown business stuff but I hope the best for ya
Graded cards are overhyped! I love my raw/unslabbed cards. Nothing against ppl that wanna have their cards graded and deal in that, just not my preference. Yes, I understand that a card being graded a 9 or 10 is going to be worth more than the same card that is ungraded. I just prefer my cards in the raw state.
