the idiots in the comments cant think or dont have common sense. its why you also see the same comment 100x. not sure i trust game stop, but im sure psa has thought about that and lets see how they implement this first. there are ways to secure your cards so no one can steal or switch.
The person at Gamestop who takes your card will be fired or quit by the time youre card comes back. Massive turnover. Rarely more than one worker at a shop. Whos watching?
Oof I can't imagine all the shenanigans this will cause. As well as all the frustration when your cards get messed up at your local Gamestop and in transit and back. It's easy to see Gamestop say: "Sorry can't help you." Or "Not our problem." When your cards go missing or damaged.
Heres a novel idea.....submit your own damn cards. If you thought worrying about a scammy submitter was something, how do you think its gonna go trusting minimum wage game store employees with safely handling your cards? Then you have the issue with the theft and employees switching cards out with their own. Every day this hobby more and more ridiculous. And i can tell you, most of the big breakers already do work for fanatics. The biggest shills and cheerleaders who continually get loaded boxes are 100% on michael rubins payroll. And your quote....."they could stop people from doing bad things".....these breakers are not half as sleazy as michael rubin. I get you dont like breakers, i dont either. But believing in michael rubin to fix it is kinda nuts.
Ok kid. I have never seen a John Wayne cry this much. Some of us submit cards to grading companies with our LCS/LGS to get the group discount but you do you kid. Not all of us want to submit 10/20/30 💩 moderns to get said discount. Plus, PSA is dog 💩 anyways and they continue to prove it.
@@jasonfuller2734 😂😂😂ok kid? You're the one who doesnt know how to submit a card by yourself, KID.

If you had any sense youd grade sgc like me for 15 bucks a pop. And fyi, I dont collect modern.
I said exactly this in the video. I was mainly looking at this from the competition it will bring. Ultimately the industry will be better off for this collab imo (even if GameStop grade very few cards). We have a lot of breakers partnered with them but not many exclusive to their platform.

PSA should transform into a purely authentication company They should just authenticate cards and authos and not put grade on cards Let people decide how much they willing to pay,
@@chitzzz1384 I haven't submitted in many moons but for a long time that's all they did. The grades weren't guaranteed but the card or auto was. I know how crazy I sound but I assure you that's how it was for years.
lol me too, I briefly touched on it but they have huge issues themselves. It’s why I said we should just submit for ourselves in the video. I think this brings more competition though
Playing the devil's advocate. A lot of local card shops are group submitters. Most of the shops are great people who help collectors and flippers by reviewing the cards before submission as part of the fee they charge. I can see this hurting my local card shop even not knowing if how GameStop submissions will work.
I’m curios, what is the true cost, of grading a card? 1.00 for the case, .50 for the label, 2.00 for return shipping box, 5.00 for someone to grade? Think I’m being generous
We all saw how good it went when they started with the Pokemon trades between their system being screwed up half the time giving out wrong values as well as them offering next to nothing for larger cards. I wouldn't trust Gamestop with my high dollar Pokemon cards. Like some of the other commentors below mentioned...turnover so high on their employees they wont recognize you or your card, and probably know next to nothing about Pokemon. I'd hate to submit a big card like a Moonbreon to a guy that has no idea what the hell it is. I can't imagine a great deal of care would be taken while handling the cards. I'd rather submit with a Local Game Store 10 times out of 10. Thats their bread and butter..this is what they know. Going to Gamestop to sub Pokemon cards is like going to Burger King for tacos. Sure they could do it..but there's literally a dozen better options.
They didn’t end group subs at all. They just lowered the barrier to access. Real collectors will still do it themselves or go to their LCS that’s both trained and usually dedicated to the job.
They’ll be a good pathway for uneducated customers or those without an LCS near them but not sure if they’ll be the end of LCS. They aren’t mature enough for that
I would still prefer to take my raw cards into the local LCS for their group submission. They offer a pre-grade inspection, and have good experience with catching cards that wouldn't make the desired grades that someone who doesn't normally grade cards would catch.
@@DanTheCardMan2 I've heard that one of the Game Stops near me is where they handle the PSA card sales for the ones that they purchase. We were there getting some games and cards for my kid's report card accomplishments. The worker was a huge gamer, and was impressive on that front, but knew nothing about the card aspect other than the surface-level training I guess they got from corporate. I checked out some of their cards online, and it basically seems to be junk slab type cards.
Yep. How long you think before the first theft scandal? I can already see the headline....."employee quits and walks out with thousands in customers cards"
PSA vault has made group submitting obsolete. You can send cards to PSA, get them graded, then auction them off eBay a couple days after grading is done.
breaking and grading and all these partnerships and investment crap is just blowing up a baloon ready to pop we are going to enter a junk slab era soon ..all its takes is a further push into recession and the whole card market is going to tank in prices and all that will be left is a few slabs worth some money and everyone left holding cards in slabs worth nothing out of pocket
I wonder if gamestop will venture into sports cards. They sell pokemon, and the services they offer for grading look like pokemon is what they are for. I think it's good it's a beginning of more legitimate practices like ID and receipts lol
On one hand, super easy access. Also, low chance someone will piggy back onto the sub with same cards and keep the best graded. On the negative, no way an employee at GameStop is screening your cards and helping you submit only the ones that will grade well. So I see a place for both group submitters and GameStop. I just submit my own, it isn’t that tough…
Most of these employees are nerds who collect pokemon cards(most of what will be consigned). Theres gonna be employees stealing and switching cards like crazy. Especially with that kind of turnover......this feels like a disaster in the making.
I would respectfully disagree with you on this topic. GameStop coming into the space won’t affect current established group submitters….. I’ll speak for myself butI submit with someone I know and trust. Having that Relationship is key here. I would never consider taking my cards to a GameStop where employees turn over monthly. I think however this could boost tcg grading slightly where people who are just getting into tcg will have easy access to grading without having to submit their own cards or build a relationship with a group submitter.
I agree, I think many don’t care though and we’ve seen that with examples like the Marx cards situation. People should just submit themselves, but at a minimum this will help with competition
I’ve been submitting my cards via my LCS for well over a year now; it’s convenient for me since they are local and the rates aren’t much more than i would pay on my own. Plus I would have to pay shipping each way..
If this works it's fantastic. I will give this a try as I don't submit enough to get a PSA membership and now I don't have to mail it to a group submitter. No I won't be submitting crazy cards to start.
You are forgetting that many group submitters offer second opinion services prior to submitting. You are not going to get that at Game Stop. Try having another motivation other than slamming everything in the hobby.
Slamming the hobby? This video is me talking about the positives this will bring the hobby via more competition. What are you on about? I agree about the review service piece, that’s great and I should have flagged it. On the other hand, this grading collab is going to bring so many mums and dads in.
This is an option for collectors who do not have an LCS near them. Would I choose this option, no. Grading and submitting is one of the easiest things to do. Can't blame PSA for expanding the business. These things happen all the time in retail. A novice collector can easily submit cards. I don't think PSA would stop one group submitting location to drive them to go to a Game Stop. This is just add on business and good luck to them. Training should be easy as it's very simple to grade cards with any company.
I tend to bring mine through my lcs. I really like the owner and he has been nothing but kind in giving me deals. I like this idea but his card shop is across from the gamestop in the mall. Maybe the prices will drop a bit though
Honestly hate those people anyway. They profit off of us! They basically get 5 people to send a bunch of cards…. So they can send a bunch of cards and have it mostly paid for it not fully paid for.
Dan, I think being from Australia is a big disadvantage for you. You are looking at things from an Australian perspective trying to project those ideals and mindset on North American subject matter. You severely underestimate just how low Americans will go to make a buck and just how corrupt the landscape is. Recent videos have been difficult to relate to because of the complete disconnect between cultures and belief systems. Morals often do not even enter the thought making process in these parts anymore. Gamestop is a Meme company, unliked by many so it will not even be a valid question. I understand you say submit yourself though and that is wise advice.
What other videos have shown a disconnect, genuinely curious? As I say, people should submit for themselves but ultimately this will create more competition. That’s my main point for this one. I even covered GameStop having issues. Maybe not as detailed as I should have
@@DanTheCardMan2 I know you have general interest and care for the content you create. I would say any video that you comment on things related to greed and the culture of greed and morals around it. I know you are just trying to say that we as people need to do better, but that is not going to change anything. The US has been that way for 200 plus years, one just need look at the history of the country. I could be looking at your intention in the wrong light as well, but I believe that the US is a lost cause. Just try to keep that in your mind when looking at these incidents of corruption and greed, it's all about number 1 and has been for 200 years or more. Hell they fought a civil war over owning human beings and having to pay them. That was all about the rich not being so rich anymore and not many of the rich died over it either.
The difference in a solid group submitter would be checking your cards for you and providing the supplies. Gamestop will not inspect them. You have to bring them already in the card saver and they simply add them into the sub.
No they will be happy to sell you card savers for 25 cents each. The price they charge is reasonable on grades and no return shipping if you are member. It would be easy to work there piggy back or switch cards so that would be my fear. Of course same problem with any group submitter. Photo and list for your protection.
Fanatics Live has really limited the number of breakers on their platform. They have to choose you basically so they’d either have to bring on more breakers or lose a lot of business and what stops Panini from denying Fanatics breakers product. That move would lose Fanatics a lot of business. Fanatics has limited the number of breakers because breakers thn scams often and that exposes Fanatics to negative press. They’ve struggled with the breakers they’ve chosen already.
Group subs have been a core for the decade I've been around. I cant say Ludkins left a good taste of who I should trust past the initial grading company, let alone a bunch of 21 year olds with minimal training/commitment to their job.
WAIT,..... WILL GAMESTOP TAKE MY CARDS AND THEN SEND THEM TO PSA? OR WILL SOMEONE BE AT GAMESTOP AND I CAN TAKE MY CARDS THERE AND PAY TO GET THEM GRADED ON THE SPOT? IF ITS THE 2ND OPTION I AM DONE FOR THAT! FIRST OPTION IS THE WORST IDEA IN THE WORLD.
wh would you want to kill whatnot. what about the good peole that arent doing shady shit. bottom line everyone knows when someones doing shady shit and if they dont they dont care. but why on gods green earth do you want to funnel every dollar into big business's hand. al thats doing is regulating our money and our hobby. and if you have any care about your money imsorry , but its not just a hobby. lets put more money in psa's hands that already charge us a hand and a leg already they have no regulation. they dont care about our hobby dude. theyre a business. who are you for sounds like big business. who dont give a shit about you.. the only person that its ging to become more efficient for is psa. were not haters cuz we dont want psa to keep raping us thats aa huge cop out and a weak thing to say. so youre saying that psa doesnt do shady shit??? or they dont do questionable things that are obviously not to our benefit???that psa is morally perfect and have never practiced "shady business"????cuz everyone knows they have why dont you do your research on psa bud. no ones hating but psa is no angel theyre not a hobby theyre a business. to say that psa gives a shit about us and our "hobby" cuz lets be honest 90% of us do this for a business. and lets be honest the reason sports cards were created was for business. someone didnt start these things in their garage and say oh this is a great past time everyone can do this. the whole sports card design template is to create value in the first place. the same picture the same card is worth ten times more because it has gold border or stupid tiny lil gold numbers on it so its worth ten times more???? OK!!!!!that sure sounds like a hobby to me brother!!! yah most def!!!! call it for what it is a spade is a spade and you can polish a turd but its still a turd. if its just a hobby to you why do you care who makes money off it or not. if youre a collector why are you buying breaks anyways. what is your goal bro. they dont care about customers. psa has done way shady stuff. you really should rethink what youre saying. maybe put in a lil more thought. either way it goes through pssa. psa damages cards all th time and give people hassles all the time .. do your research bud. if youre a collector then none of this should even matter to you bud!!!
What are you on about? Who said I want to kill these platforms? I said they need better accountability and regulation. Just because fanatics may force breakers to be exclusive doesn’t meant whatnot ends.
Uhh how is this not a positive video? New entry into the industry that’s going to bring more competition and value for customers. I literally said this in the video 😅

Fair, I think you’ll be surprised how many people use this though. Ultimately it will bring more competition but like I say in the video, submit yourself

It would be easy to work there piggy back or switch cards so that would be my fear. Of course same problem with any group submitter. Photo and list for your protection.
GJ DAn, man your tanning up
Not sure if you were joking or not but I spent about 4 days in the sun fishing. Summer does me well 😂
@@DanTheCardMan2 dead serious tell summer coming down under
Breakers are a scam anyways. The quicker that fad goes away the better.
Fanatics Live has really limited the number of breakers on their platform. They have to choose you basically so they’d either have to bring on more breakers or lose a lot of business and what stops Panini from denying Fanatics breakers product. That move would lose Fanatics a lot of business. Fanatics has limited the number of breakers because breakers thn scams often and that exposes Fanatics to negative press. They’ve struggled with the breakers they’ve chosen already.
HA! Absolutely hilarious. Fantastic marketing. Brilliant. Dusty old card shops with greedy fat old men obviously are not trustworthy.
Hopefully a bevy of these rip off artists who specialize in the scamming of children go under.
They charge like 30 to 40 just for a sub I love this lcs better adjust or lose that money
@@cookiemang4128 I agree 100 percent
Well that’s how they see it
Group subs have been a core for the decade I've been around. I cant say Ludkins left a good taste of who I should trust past the initial grading company, let alone a bunch of 21 year olds with minimal training/commitment to their job.
You’ll be surprised at how many will jump on this. Especially mums and dads for their kids
@@DanTheCardMan2 you're 100% right. The saddest part is it'll work
WAIT,..... WILL GAMESTOP TAKE MY CARDS AND THEN SEND THEM TO PSA? OR WILL SOMEONE BE AT GAMESTOP AND I CAN TAKE MY CARDS THERE AND PAY TO GET THEM GRADED ON THE SPOT? IF ITS THE 2ND OPTION I AM DONE FOR THAT! FIRST OPTION IS THE WORST IDEA IN THE WORLD.
It's the first idea.
They’ll be sending them off to psa
You actually think GameStop employees are going to be grading and slabbing your cards in store? LOL
wh would you want to kill whatnot. what about the good peole that arent doing shady shit. bottom line everyone knows when someones doing shady shit and if they dont they dont care. but why on gods green earth do you want to funnel every dollar into big business's hand. al thats doing is regulating our money and our hobby. and if you have any care about your money imsorry , but its not just a hobby. lets put more money in psa's hands that already charge us a hand and a leg already they have no regulation. they dont care about our hobby dude. theyre a business. who are you for sounds like big business. who dont give a shit about you.. the only person that its ging to become more efficient for is psa. were not haters cuz we dont want psa to keep raping us thats aa huge cop out and a weak thing to say. so youre saying that psa doesnt do shady shit??? or they dont do questionable things that are obviously not to our benefit???that psa is morally perfect and have never practiced "shady business"????cuz everyone knows they have why dont you do your research on psa bud. no ones hating but psa is no angel theyre not a hobby theyre a business. to say that psa gives a shit about us and our "hobby" cuz lets be honest 90% of us do this for a business. and lets be honest the reason sports cards were created was for business. someone didnt start these things in their garage and say oh this is a great past time everyone can do this. the whole sports card design template is to create value in the first place. the same picture the same card is worth ten times more because it has gold border or stupid tiny lil gold numbers on it so its worth ten times more???? OK!!!!!that sure sounds like a hobby to me brother!!! yah most def!!!! call it for what it is a spade is a spade and you can polish a turd but its still a turd. if its just a hobby to you why do you care who makes money off it or not. if youre a collector why are you buying breaks anyways. what is your goal bro. they dont care about customers. psa has done way shady stuff. you really should rethink what youre saying. maybe put in a lil more thought. either way it goes through pssa. psa damages cards all th time and give people hassles all the time .. do your research bud. if youre a collector then none of this should even matter to you bud!!!
What are you on about? Who said I want to kill these platforms? I said they need better accountability and regulation. Just because fanatics may force breakers to be exclusive doesn’t meant whatnot ends.
You need to do more positive videos , your starting to sound like the clowns on sports card radio
Uhh how is this not a positive video? New entry into the industry that’s going to bring more competition and value for customers. I literally said this in the video 😅
People drive cars into the front doors/windows at night so they can loot so often it's just been plywood store front since last summer. Won't be dropping my cards there
@@larryblotter ha! It's not the business it's the horrible location YOU choose to live. Hilarious, let me guess, Detroit Memphis Arkansas or Mississippi?
Perfect place to drop off a 86 Fleer Jordan RC and just hope for the best right!🤞
@@larryblotter ha! Maybe move out of the ghetto.
@@Bostonian33 Right? lol
I think you’re grossly underestimating the negative public perception of GameStop in the USA. To put it into easy Aussie terms for you, this would be like the equivalent of trusting cash converters to group sub your cards to PSA lmfao
Fair, I think you’ll be surprised how many people use this though. Ultimately it will bring more competition but like I say in the video, submit yourself
