Some of these grades as of late really makes me question the quality control in terms of grading regulations and standards at PSA.

@@L.S1992 CGC is slowly moving up the food chain though, They have faster returns, cheaper prices and they have a harder to get 10 (aka higher premium 10) than PSA.

PSA is an awful company, they might hold market majority but what they offer compared to what CGC offers is miles apart.
Man that hurts. Would have expected at least two 10s, but that’s how it is. And that’s also the reason why I am not sending in my stuff… paying for that lack of transparency is just ridiculous
I do appreciate seeing your pre-grading segment since it does help distinguish what may or may not cause issue on the grading, but at the same time, I'm echoing the sentiment of other people that it'd be nice to hear the *why* something was graded the way it was
I agree with most people’s comments here about Summoned Skull, it definitely should worth more. The good thing is that as a complete amateur when it comes to grading, I feel like I learned a thing or two from watching your video :)
sometimes i think psa uses a willy nilly approach and has a laundry list of cards they grade, then other times i think they take too much time to grade the cards. but at least we get awesome uploads like this one!!!! thnx
Overall a 9 was pretty fair for the gfp2 and the serpent night dragon. I don't understand why the not faded summoned skull got a 9. It was perfect. The faded one also looks pretty minty, but I assume they are against faded cards
Honestly love that R. Eyes Black Dragon ghost and I really held my breath thinking it was a 10 but 9 is still amazing. Love these types of videos and keep up the great work!
No idea how the non faded Summoned Skull was not a 10. Did anyone notice anything wrong with it? I may have missed something, but it looked immaculate to me.
That's unfortunate about the faded someone's goal. I agree that Them being faded is not considered damage and should not affect the grade. My favorite card that was the red eyes. That definitely would have been a cool 10 as well
Man PSA really needs to get their glasses checked! Even the Serpent Night Dragon's centering is not that bad in my opinion! I also just don't understand why PSA can't do their research on the faded MRD cards... It's really not fair! Anyways, I always love these PSA returns videos but maybe you should try cracking one of those ghost Blue Eyes and send it to BGS to see if you have any better luck with them when it comes to those ghosts.
I love that you graded the blue eyes. I wasn't sure if I was gonna send my in or not, but now that I see they will still give a 9 with those dots and scuffs I think I'm gonna try and go for it! Thanks Ruxin, love this GFTP2 set.
The grades seem fair to me all things considered (except those Summoned Skulls, that was some pure stupidity). Definitely did well on some of those pulls, some real gems in there - whether PSA agree or not!
The grades on the ghosts blew ass! Besides the foil shift and the black dots the cards were phenomenal! Can’t wait to get mine back and see what I got!
The grading seemed pretty decent. It was nice to see the ghost rares. Pretty sweet stuff for a collector. Really wanted to pull a ghost rare myself from the 2nd Haunting.
It would be cool to get some sort of magnifying tool you can film through, I've seen footage of cards being examined for grading. Maybe you can find something before sending?
For me, it's not that I don't like PSA, but you're the first TH-camr I started watching talk about PSA grading for Yugioh stuff. I've recently binged a lot of your stuff and you very clearly know what you're talking about and I love your energy. And it just feels so unprofessional of PSA to give you really questionable grades with LITERALLY no reason or explanation.
Every time I see a grading video, I think about getting a couple cards graded, and then promptly forget about it. Really nice stuff. Think just about everything was fairly good.
This is insane, that faded summoned skull is so clean! I also like PSA, even after this. They really need to change the criteria to accommodate these faded cards though…
I thought the grades seemed pretty fair except for the summoned skulls those hurt and ruxin I thought you did a pretty good job of predicting the grades great psa video dude
For the price that PSA charges, it would be nice to know what they see and why they give the grade they do. Seeing those Summoned Skull grades just made me sad.
Some epic cards. I wish that PSA would send the reasons for why they graded the cards such. Gutted that there were no 10s. Thanks for the EPIC content rux!
I am very new to how grading works but i love you videos and learn a lot of how that works. From how you explained it seems they are rather picky depending on who grades it. Thanks for the informative video. I would love to see a video of how grading works for people like me who are less on the collective side.
oof that last summoned skull , i guess it's only because it's faded that it got dropped.. Honestly even if they all got 9 (except last one summoned skull) it's still pretty awesome to have :)
Great video, but some tough results. Those blue eyes looked great on my eyes and there’s nothing anyone can do about the dots in the foil which sucks. Wish PSA would give their ratings some more detail as to why they ended up as 8&9’s as opposed to 10’s
I bought 1 display of Ghosts from the past 2 and pulled somehow magically Dark Magician Girl. I’ve never sent a card in to get graded but I watch all of your videos like this and to me my DMG looks absolutely perfect, can’t see anything wrong with it. I’d love to send it in but nervous about it haha…. I was sad that your Blue-Eyes and Red-Eyes didn’t get 10, but incredibly sucks that the Summoned Skulls got so low.
Solid grades overall man! We were all hoping to see some 10's but thats how it goes sometimes. I wonder if you cracked and re submitted some there might be some different outcomes. PSA is pretty savage on fading same as a minor bend they drop it down to an auto 6. I've sent faded cards which all came back as 8's which were otherwise very minty. I guess at the end of day sun damage is still a form of damage which does overall have an impact on eye appeal.
with GFTP2 ghosts looking the way they are (often foil shifts or random dots of ink) I would expect to see some 9s and 8s. a 10 would be wonderful but idk how likely
its a shame, i did not expect the ghosts to get 10 as with one of the blue eyes and the red eyes there was a very light scratch/line on the backs, im shocked the regular skull did not get a 10.
Unlike other grading companies that provide subgrades and give you a better idea why your card got the grade it got PSA does not. They should at the very least send some type of paperwork that details on why each card got the grade..
I don't know enough about the way grading works to say much about most, but those Summoned Skulls are gorgeous and deserved so much better. Same for the Serpent Night
Pretty good haul, barring the skulls ofc. Those 9s were understandable, but I feel that there should have been a 10 somewhere in that box. Thanks for your amazing content!
Once again, transparency. Some of the newer companies are doing it.
PSA should most definitely follow suit. It's ridiculous
I some what understand your point and agree. Ruxin is A professional at YU-GI-OH and idk what he missed that they didn't as far as lesser grades go

Glad that the Thousand Dragon got a 9, love that card, the blue background fits so well with the purple.
Makes it a pleasure to look at :D

That Summoned Skull non faded hurts the heart. Beauty cards though!
Summoned Skull will always be my favorite card if he’s in the video. Such badass artwork. Some of the best IMO
Honestly love that R. Eyes Black Dragon ghost and I really held my breath thinking it was a 10 but 9 is still amazing. Love these types of videos and keep up the great work!

Thousand dragon was the 1st ever foil I pulled when metal raiders came out so its always good to see that card I hope it grades well
love the ghosties! But those last grades were bogus!

I dont agree, people get 10 for These in 80%
@@fabulousk9014 yeah so the consistency shows. Looks like one guy grades em all. Cuz then you get other returns where you get a bunch of 10s.

Never thought I'd use this word for a card but that faded Summoned Skull is GORGEOUS!!
awesome grades! it looks pretty fair, those ghost rares are so beautiful
None of the grades were very surprising except for the blue eyes, I honestly thought they were going to get lower grades
Its in their website, the color affects the score, so yeah the fading is probably what costed the summoned skull.

Man PSA is on some bulllll. There were definitely a few 10's in there including the non-faded Summoned Skull and honestly the Red-Eyes.
Love that faded Summoned Skull. Looks amazing!
Grading was pretty fair but they were rough on you with the summoned skull that was faded. Very cool cards and well done on the pulls.
i was most impressed on the serpent getting a 9. Bring back the auction series!
These are super helpful for learning about grading and as a reference when I'm deciding what to grade
This is insane, that faded summoned skull is so clean! I also like PSA, even after this. They really need to change the criteria to accommodate these faded cards though…

Red Eyes looks sick!
Man, the summoned skulls look so clean. The grade for the faded one was tough.
That faded cards look so cool, that summoned skull was very clean looking. Rip
as everyone is mentioning, PSA should tell you why the grade. Those skulls deserved a solid 10.
Those summoned skulls are some of the most crisp cards I’ve ever saw, goodness gracious!
I think the grades are cool. I love listening to your thoughts and what you look for so I know better myself!
its insane that as a magic player i can still really enjoy your videos
Honestly, the fading adds character, imo. Gives it a retro feel, or kinda like a shiny Pokémon with more of a pastel recolour.
That was harsh! Those Summoned Skull were incredible!!
For the price that PSA charges, it would be nice to know what they see and why they give the grade they do. Seeing those Summoned Skull grades just made me sad.
That Summoned Skill faded LOOKS AMAZING, damn!
That looks great! The ghost rare red eyes black dragon and blue eyes white dragon, were awesome to see them graded!
grats for the ratings, summoned skull with the OG colour fade deserves more
The grades seemed alright, but some were pretty harsh, the 9’s!! Thanks for the great content!!
Not bad grading imo got back into the hobby watching vids like yours! Glad to have found ya!
Dude they were grading rough today! But that faded Summoned skull was sick! It wings were blue! So nice! I'm jealous!

Love these type of video. The grades seems fair and were expected. Those gftp2 qc are just horrible lol.
bummer on the return man. That faded summoned skull looks amazing imo!
Would be interesting to see if you resubmitted the summoned skulls later if they got the same scores.
Something about the art on Serpent Night Dragon reminds me of Togashi and yu yu hakusho’s art style, I love that card
Grades seem to be more fair, wish they would give information for imperfections
gl on the grades brother
I like PSA grading a lot, but for some reason I get more nervous than excited when it comes to seeing the grading PSA gives
The grades look fair and the cards just look amazing in those cases
oof that last summoned skull , i guess it's only because it's faded that it got dropped..
Honestly even if they all got 9 (except last one summoned skull) it's still pretty awesome to have :)
Great video, but some tough results. Those blue eyes looked great on my eyes and there’s nothing anyone can do about the dots in the foil which sucks. Wish PSA would give their ratings some more detail as to why they ended up as 8&9’s as opposed to 10’s

That red eyes ghost rare lookin nice! Well deserved 9.
Super jealous of your graded PSA ghost blue eyes white dragon from GFTP2. Love the content Phil keep it up!
with GFTP2 ghosts looking the way they are (often foil shifts or random dots of ink) I would expect to see some 9s and 8s. a 10 would be wonderful but idk how likely

Pretty good haul, barring the skulls ofc. Those 9s were understandable, but I feel that there should have been a 10 somewhere in that box. Thanks for your amazing content!
Great grades. Amazing still think that Blue Eyes got higher than what I thought. I thought it was going to be a PSA 7.
that summoned skull pull was absolutely nuts.
I'm so sad for that faded Summoned Skull. That little baby deserved more 😢
So many nines, honestly that Blue-Eyes deserved a ten.
I was really hoping that Summoned Skull was gonna be a 10. That was a crazy video when you pulled it.
Wow! I think the ghost grades were fair but was surprised about the summoned skull. Hope you get some 10 ghosts in the future!
Love seeing the ghost rare classic cards. Can't decide between blue eyes or red eyes
*PSA JUST MAKING SHIT UP.* They need to send short summaries per order (ie damage: top left etc).
Let’s goo been waiting for this return video!
It's so weird that you send your cards away to get a grade and then they can just put whatever they want without telling you why
