What about old cards? i have never graded before. i have a shining mewtwo neo genesis holo and it would go for lightly played raw. I feel like it should psa for a 7 at least. Also have a charizard expedition reverse holo that I feel like should grade for an 8. Thoughts??? Thanks in advance
This was awesome, lots of cool cards! In the next week or so, I'm going to be sending in 5 cards that just have a lot of meaning to me, and it's been a long time goal of mine to have them encased permanently. A bunch of my older cards have definitely been through quite the adventure, and they deserve to last. Good job! :)
Tough break on some of the grades. Here's an important tip. Look at the front of the card first. If the left or right side is noticeably fatter than the other side, it likely won't grade a 10. I noticed most of your 9's were heavy on the left or right. Also, those yellow bordered full arts are hard to grade 10 bc the surface is always filled with scratches.
I’m about to send my first shipment out and I’m very curious, are those all cards that you just opened from a pack and immediately sleeved, and wiped off before sending? Because I’m looking at my cards like I should be getting mostly 10’s and this just threw me off with most of them being 9 and some 8’s
@@bobson44444 most of them were from fresh packs sleeved right away! I did not wipe them before sending though. If you do so I’m sure it’ll definitely help 🙌
@ yea I have like 37 cards that are all wiped down, in sleeves and individually team bagged but I might go through and send out a little less since it’s gonna cost me like $800 or more to send this many, I just don’t wanna get them back and have a bunch of 8’s and 9’s when I’m thinking they’re all 10’s lmao
I had a friend tell me to grade my 1999 pokemom cards before selling them. I knew nothing about card grading so I went with the cheapest CGC. Now I looked at some stuff and Im a bit nervous about that choice.
The thing with PSA is that it’s the most known and the slabs are easier to move around. But for vintage I’d recommend going with Beckett they grade vintage better
I got about 15-20 base set holos from my childhood I want to get graded just for fun. Most of them Are probably psa 5-6, few are 8-9 range. Looking for a video that’ll describe the process of packaging them and shipping them out
I actually have a video on my channel on the process I don’t go too much in depth on packaging but a lot of valuable information! It’s one of the recent ones check it out!
If you just took them out of the store packet, and then sleeved them and sent them in, shouldn't they all be 10? Like never touched, not stored, brand spanking new...assuming they are centered and all that jazz. I don't understand some of the grading when it's a brand new card!!
Unfortunately not! Even some cards in packs still get banged up/not centered well. So it’s tough when you send them in you just have to see if the card looks good to the best of your ability and kinda hope for the best!!
Most would think this but unfortunately it’s just not true. Cards get banged around when being packed and also ppl can mess them up when opening them too.
There are a lot that can happen during production. If they move stacks of cardboard around to fill the printing machines, the top sheet will get the holo scratched even before printing for example. Cutting knives eventually get dull and need to be replaced, if you get a card that was cut just before the knives got changed you will get rougher edges then when the knives are fresh. The packages can be stored badly or handled badly before you buythem, damaging the edges. Those are just a couple of things that can happen to cards and degrade them before you even open the package.
All it takes is a little plastic cracking to get back to raw value lol. Kinda surprised the Snorlax hit a 10 looked like it was heavy on the left for centering.
if you do this for short term quick profit you need to be more aware of what you are sending. if you do this for fun who cares about values. cracking plastic will add more trash to the planet. might as well keep it in the slab as the future value of that slab will of corse increase. that is if you can get your cards through the impending ww3 without too much nuclear burns.
Just curious, what did you do to screen the cards before you sent it off? did you have your own criteria on deciding if a card was worth to send ? or did you just send it and hoped for the best?
I pretty much just eyed them to be honest. Mostly focus on the card being centered, front and back. Make sure there’s no scratches on the surface or whitening on the back.
Ive heard of that too! People resending and getting better grades. And you really dont know. You just have to protect the card the best you can on your end and be okay with taking the risk of sending it out.
So with what I’ve seen with vintage cards from base set and some in the 2000’s yes, because there seems to be less supply of those cards that are still around and kept in good conditions
if not, i highly recommend it, it's 10 bucks for the legend centering tool (my fav) and microfiber cloths are pennies but get a premium cloth for a little more
Did any of the foil cards have some warping? I'm worried if some old foil cards will be graded lower for the warping (and if so by how much). Also, didn't it cost more to get some of them graded than they were worth afterwards?
It depends on how warped the card is honestly. It costs about $20 to grade a card but you have to take into account if it gets a bad grade the card could have less value graded than Raw
Foil cards are the worst. For example, I looked at 25 dragon all cards. Only about 4 would probably grade a 10 and another 6 would maybe be a 9. The rest of the cards have lines and scratches on the gold foils or on the prizm or cracked ice areas.
Hey! So with PSA there’s no black labels. That would be with Beckett the black labels. So the black label means the card I perfect! 10 surface/corners/edges/centering.
@Poke_house wow!!!! And what was the total value of the cards?? Would be a good addition to the video, the cost it incurred, and the total value of the cards so we can see if it worth doing or not 😀
It usually would tend to be the same price or less. But it also depends on which card it is. For example I have a PSA 7 charizard worth $350 and that’s the same price as if it were raw
@@Poke_house asking bcz i found some pretty cheaps 6 on ebay and while doing some research, a 6 on psa mean Excellent-Mint? so that above average near mint playerd cards on the market right?
im struggling so hard to find out what my card is worth i want to grade it but can’t find how much its worth its a 1st edition holo machamp from base set i was wondering if you could help me find its price in a psa 9?
@@Poke_house thanks so much I’m definitely gonna get it graded because i’ve looked at its condition and its perfect but the centering is a tiny bit off so i wanted to see its price in a 9 rather than a 10
Wow, that Snorlax. Also, 4 energy just to do 100 damage on the off chance that you paralyzed your opponent's Pokemon is wild. Plus they made that card weak to fighting. At that point, it doesn't even seem like a high-risk high-reward type of card. He's like a Kuriboh, but instead of a support card, they made him an actual Basic card.
PSA is way too inconsistent. For newish cards the only way to add value is getting a 10. Even 9 is a loss if you picked it up at market value since grading is so expensive. An 8 is going to make it lose value on top of having to pay for grading.
Yeah that’s the truth! It’s always a high risk doing that. I’ve been grading more vintage lately cause of that cause sometimes 8’s can have a decent value
@Poke_house yeah plus you can usually pick them up on local markets much cheaper since people don't think they have value if they aren't in perfect shape.
I can tell the first two were going to be 9's. Your centering is off. I would always suggest measuring the edges before sending them. That includes the back.
@Poke_house Yep. It's really subjective. It would be nice if they used machines to grade the cards instead of people. People are way too inconsistent.
But if it's worth more ungraded than the grade you receive, just use a razor blade or exacto knife to carefully remove it? Lolol psa gets then wrong all the time lots of people will send the same card in twice and go from an unust 7 to a much deserved 10
The truth is you can't make money off of grading anymore. Don't be the sucker. Sell your non gem mint cards. Sell the cards ungraded and let someone else buy it and think they can get a 10.
Yea I’m getting into grading and Beckett seems more legit. Having the options to have sub grades can at least justify why the card got what it got and less likely to be pop. Controlled
gg psa9 basically is same price as raw card unless the card is quite old or expensive or low pop...hahaha that Gary vapoureon raw card is around $2-$5 lol
@@blueb_oy yeah I plan on it! But it’s more so with vintage that happens! I wouldn’t get discouraged though just sent in a lot of cards and got 21/30 10s! Also not sure how true this is but I’ve been hearing good with Beckett if you plan on grading vintage!
That sucks! That $20 covers the grading fee and insurance. I'm getting a batch together. The key is to not be attached to your card, or you will be less strict. I pulled 50 cards that I thought were a 9 or 10, then used 5X magnification to see any areas that might be a problem. That 50 turned into 13, so I need 7 more. If it's not worth more than $100 at a 9, I won't send it. The centering is a pain in the ass. Especially old BB cards like '84 - '86.
Psa is a scam there’s no stander grading system it’s based off some dudes opinion witch is bs the only way you’ll get a 10 is if the cards worth a lot of money and they can up charge you. It’s a giant scam stop grading your cards.
Only in newer cards that are readily available. A card that is rare to find from older sets can suffer a worse grade because finding a raw replacement can be hard to do. New cards flood the market so you can find a better example pretty easily which means anything less an a 10 can be had by just opening more packs. Hopefully that makes sense and I’m sure you already knew this but for those who didn’t then I hope this helps.
Raw is good having the choice to put the the card in a binder or a top loader that takes less space than a graded card and still having that satisfied feeling with it sometimes even more its just a preference of the hobby. Yet agin you could say that about graded cards in a way Also you can shake the card in the psa and Cgc slabs Beckett on the other hand that’s some good protection
For Modern cards, even getting a 9 will make your cards cheaper than a near mint raw. Especially if you factor in the cost for grading.
Yes I agree! I think the best thing to do is probably just hold onto those. But with vintage a lower grade can be more than what it is raw!
It depends on the card
What about old cards? i have never graded before. i have a shining mewtwo neo genesis holo and it would go for lightly played raw. I feel like it should psa for a 7 at least. Also have a charizard expedition reverse holo that I feel like should grade for an 8. Thoughts??? Thanks in advance

having the choice to put the the card in a binder or a top loader that takes less space than a graded card and still having that satisfied feeling with it sometimes even more
its just a preference of the hobby.
Yet agin you could say that about graded cards in a way
Also you can shake the card in the psa and Cgc slabs
Beckett on the other hand that’s some good protection
Lets go! is starting to get cringe after this video lol
Haha definitely! Thanks for watching! 🙏
No offense but palkia way oc left to right got lucky
Non taken! And yes you’re right I’ve noticed that myself 😂
