They get sent to you in the email confirming that you sent them! #5: A REGULAR EMPLOYEE STORE LEVEL IS NOT ABLE TO MAJORLY OVERRIDE THE SYSTEM TO DELETE ORDERS. Cmon, you dont think Gamestop thought of that? STOP THE GAMESTOP HATE! This is a cool program for people that dont want to pay all the crazy fees to be a platinum club member!

If you watch any GS grading video, you would instantly see all the holes in this story! Why didnt he show a receipt? You have to pay grading fees upfront!
You're actually a stupid kid if you really think Pokemon is the only thing being graded. A rookie Mickey Mantle sports card is worth more than any pokemon card you will ever imagine you absolute dweeb. Shut your bum ass mouth with your garbage fake math.
I agree with everything except #3. They never went one by one with me having to answer for each one of my cards. For context I submit 10-20 cards a week.
This is wild.. if your submitting 375 k worth of cards why wouldn’t you buy a 200$ plane ticket and do a in person drop off? That’s the ONLY logical option. I call bs. Insurance scam.
$200 is not a plane ticket there and back, it would could me $1000 from my state for a round trip flight plus you have to get someone to stay and take off work. You’re broke and don’t understand that time is money.
@@PhatRobsdude no, I’m in the military and yes my flights are paid for but I look at my DTS and it’s always 600 +, plus I’ve traveled with my wife to many places and even with my military discount I’m paying wayyy more then $200
If you can afford the grading fees on 375k declared value, why didn't you just do the walk through service?. If you are trusting a third party and the US mail system, you are asking for trouble.
@ScrubbyDubbyUbby don't need to read it bud. If you have that much in declared value. Anyone with a brain cell would just take it to PSA directly instead of trusting a third party. Read the room, my guy not the only one that thinks so.
Ok question- $375k is kinda wild- if the max declared value for PSA submissions at GameStop is $200 then that means they submitted over 1500 cards???? To my knowledge they’re unable to submit for tiers that allow higher declared value??
Definitely some blame goes on the user himself submitting that many cards through GameStop as well as they were very high dollar cards. He’s clearly trying to send in super high value cards through the lowest grading cost, which isn’t right.
There’s no way in hell this happened. This guy is trying to scam GameStop plain and simple. Also who in their right mind would choose GameStop to submit their cards for grading?
High value cards I would never, but low to mid level it’s a great option because of the price. $15.99 a card vs 20+ and you don’t have to do any of the shipping yourself.
Last Gamestop I went too for the Blackfriday ETB deal. The Clerk literally Admitted to me that he sits down with a scale and Weighs Booster packs in order to get the Foils and he says it works. And what he doesn't outright buy immediately, he allows his friends to do the same then they stock the rest of the shelves. They're all Minimum wage retail workers, they are going to steal when the opportunity arises, they are going to cheat what they can. Because they feel entitled for working a shit job.

Dumb rule. One unverified claim after millions of success and suddenly NOTHING is worth working with them? That’s like saying “USPS lost my mail once, never shipping anything again” Nothing in life has zero risk, even if you dropped to PSA in person.

I’m calling BS. Dude probably has some puts on GME thats not doing well and doing his best to prevent himself from losing money. Dudes either a millionaire or he didn’t actually lose 370k he’s way too calm

Just dropped off a mini mansions amount of cards and said bill me later when you put it all in the system while I’m gone??? Nah this smells fishier than a wh0re house in Chinatown.
I don’t understand why GameStop would open themselves up to so much liability. They are literally alive because a subreddit decided to get together and pump their stock when they knew the big hedge Funds were shorting their position. After all that they think it’s a great idea to involve themselves in a hobby that is currently in its cyclical dying phase lol. They need a top down restructuring to save themselves from themselves.
My understanding is you can't change your declared value by default your declared value is $200 per tcg card. So he sent 1875 cards through GameStop? They also are given a receipt for the submission with the number of cards submitted....I unno man
Ive heard issues on tracking submissions through Gamestop but when it comes to “missing” cards it all really comes down to what Gamestop you go to and who works there
“Why would you submit through Gamestop?” Because they are legitimate company with a very strong reputation of not fucking up orders or etc. plus cameras are installed
I've had issues getting GameStop to ship me games I purchased. They use each store as little mini warehouse packing locations(more reputable, higher volume store, etc. receives orders as primary, but GameStop tries to go as local as possible). I can't believe people are actually putting these cards in the hands of teenage employees who could see a quick "5 finger come up" and make poor decisions. I just don't get it... I just don't get it....
All the Gamestop employee is worried about is getting off work and going home to play video games. They aren't passing on the info about your shipment to their oncoming coworker properly. You are better off submitting your own cards.
I submitted a single card through gamestop, I even decided to get the 1 year of pro membership so that I could get free shipping if it went well so I could grade more cards. I have been unable to log into my pro account even after trying to get help on 5 separate occasions. I haven't gotten a single update about my card and it's past the 45 day submission period. Gamestop is going to get sued into the fucking ground lmfao. DO NOT SUBMIT YOUR CARDS HERE.
I will honestly say. You need to do a little more research. I sent in with GS and only the MANAGER handles the cards. They made me sleeve and put them in the protectors. I watched them put them up with all the others. But you SHOULDN'T stray people away from shipping with GS to PSA. My Local LCS Charges $50 a card to look at it and see if it's a 10. It's not hard to look at the card and do it your self.
GameStop employees are the reason I won’t do business with GameStop… they are extremely underpaid, and for some reason their company allows the employees to be unprofessional and miserable because they can’t hire anyone else for pennies. they are extremely uneducated on everything they sell. The only things they are knowledgeable on are whatever niche game employee was already into.
I made 4 different submissions and this explains why my last submission says order being created still after 2 weeks. And why they won't let me pick up my submissions that are ready to be picked up.... pretty messed up. Although I do have doubts that guys order was worth 375k
i had a discussion about grading thru gamestop with someone who submits with me, and i help them as a middle man. The main thing it comes down to is TRUST. cheaper yes but doesnt always mean better. I submitted 1 card just to test it out to see how it goes. hopefully they guy gets his stuff back cause that would suck. Come to think of it IF they were to add like say a voided tag that would prevent theft, as long as the owner of the cards signed off verifying that yes its sealed, then PSA can verify received if still intact. extra security there. For incoming, void sticker would work as well so long as picture of owner of cards is taken to verified they received their cards and signature required just like if you got a submission. just a small idea for them to get away from that and theft within the company. far as insurance well psa or gamestop would need to pay out
Same deal here. Submitted four cards Oct, 29th. Nov, 30th now and still only showing as order shipped. My order changed to shipped a few days after I submitted the cards to. So almost a month with no updates. My order eta I believe is Dec, 12 - 20th in the confirmation email I got on day one. So I'm not hitting the panic button yet but it dose suck not getting any update. I've seen people say they never got any updates and eventually got a call from GameStop that their cards were back and ready for pickup. 🤷♂️ For sure issues with the order tracker that need fixing.
@k9thundra please don’t be nervous, I promise you have nothing to worry about! I would bet my life savings that the guy who “lost $375k” is lying without a doubt - either to scam GameStop, scam PSA, or something dumb that won’t work. GameStop and PSA did a very good job at making this literally impossible to have happened. I don’t think rattle filmed this video with Ill intent but he’s freaking people out for no reason. Making this video with zero knowledge of how the process of sending in cards through GameStop was a bad move
@@michaelmacdermott3872I bet your cards will be in soon. There is some issues with the notification system though, the notification that my cards getting graded and the one of my cards being ready for pick up was like 10 minutes apart haha the goal is a 45 day turnaround time from drop off to pick up. Where it can get kind a of funky is GameStop actually only sends off a parcel to PSA when they have at least 20 cards ready. So if your store is a low traffic area when you dropped off your 4 cards if 16 other cards weren’t waiting to go out your cards could end up sitting for a few days. Just FYI though, once your cards are sealed in the tamper evident bag in front of you they will be immediately placed in a locked special drawer, in a locked office, that only management has access to
I noticed with my cards I sent in. It took a while for it to die that it was shipped. There is a lag time if you are using the GameStop app I believe. There is also holiday mail traffic I'd take into consideration. Don't worry to much.
This guy doesn’t deserve a rattle video, 100% trouble sending high end cards with 3rd party, cards worth more than their salary integrity goes out the window
Also the DECLARED value is $375K. What's the true value? Could this be a money grab? Just because that's what he declares doesnt mean thats true market value.
Who would use GameStop for $375k of submissions.....lol. You could literally use a 3rd party broker and/or overnight the cards with $100k+ in insurance and require signature for release directly with PSA. This seems like a fake story.
When I submit in those amounts which I admit is rare but I have done before I'm dropping them off personally at a show to PSA like at the National. This is just stupidity at it's finest.
I really like your channel but I feel like this story failed the smell test and has some inaccuracies. 1. What he claimed the value he submitted is impossible. They have a max value they are able to submit per card and it is checked in the system based on the card. In order to submit then thousands of cards to meet this threshold would take multiple days of multiple workers to handle in addition to actually store work. 2. Did he show receipts? You need to pay for submissions at the time of submission. Show the receipts! 3. GameStop has $5billion in the banks which makes it one of the most cash rich companies in the US and won’t go bankrupt anytime soon. Please follow up with the story if it is indeed real or call him out for being a scammer.
This story can’t be real. It doesn’t even sound real. 375k at a GameStop? Like really? Lol. I haven’t finished the video but I’d like to see some actual evidence on this. Did GameStop make a comment on this? Did the police find anything? Did the customer show a receipt of his payment to GameStop to show proof? Sounds like an insurance scam or just downright defamation of GameStop.
I find it extremely difficult to feel bad for someone like this. He messed up on so many different levels. 375k submission? Really? The average GameStop employee makes less than 30k a year. You’d just hand that to them and walk away? There’s not even 375k worth of stock in that entire store, lol. And why would you mail that in anyway? You have 375k to blow on cardboard made for children, but can’t spend the money on a plane ticket for a walk in submission? None of this makes any sense 😂 it’s either bogus, or this guy is really, REALLY dumb.
Also, gamestop is known for putting clearance stickers on shit and the sticker underneath is a lower price. Remember when they almost went outta business? Come on now!
It’s kinda funny how much old video games they destroyed and no have created a scarcity in the vintage video game market lmao they could’ve had a monopoly
You got that much in possible card value, just drive to PSA headquarters yourself and submit. Why on Earth would you trust any third party OR the shipping service (USPS, FedEx, UPS) with your cards? Too many hands. Too many variables. I get like if the shipping costs or the distance is an issue, but then don't submit that all at once or if it's just a card or two, then I feel you should be doing it yourself. Wild!
Not trying to victim blame. And I really hope his issue gets resolved. But if your cards are really in the $300K range, there’s NO reason to use GameStop.
2:04 375k submission…the last place I’m going is GameStop what a divy! Fly yours ass there and hand it over yourself 4:55 oh Star Wars cards NVM who cares
I think this makes Gamestop look bad, not the submitter. Yes, he probably had the funds to submit himself and he probably should... The GameStop had a prime opportunity here to establish themselves as a reputable company to grade cards with and they failed
The bottom line is no one should submit cards worth that value to GameStop, however, GameStop w/PSA is providing a service and ppl should be able to have confidence and trust that their cards are safe. I wouldn't do it though.
The switching out of cards is what worries me most about these services. Removing a perfectly centered, no whitening near pristine copy and swapping in a NM slightly off-centered with a white dot. Submit the NM copy with the customer and the employee taking the other and just submitting it themselves. Would be incredibly difficult to prove definitively that there was something going on.
Honestly Rattle has never been into a Gamestop... 200$ per card, Dude submitted 200 cards? My gamestop is well versed in Pokemon.. never had a stubbmling bumbbbling ...
i wanna see the actual receipts of what he was sending in for grading. if you have a card or cards worth that much there is no way that you arent familiar enough to submit them on your own
Gamestop corporate is literally the worst they don’t care and they never document anything I had an issue where closed a store by me and all my preorders where suppose to transfer to the next gamestop close by they never did and that was 1500 dollars in stuff from a few years ago called repeatedly talked to over a dozen people from corporate they said they will email me never did or a call back so I lost out
Im glad i waited for gamestop to rob someone other than me. I was worried about sending with them soely for getting dust on my already clean cards 😂 poor guy.
I can't see a GS employee putting a card in their pocket becuase they put a sticker/barcode on each card and they put it in the sealed bag in front of you.
The guy who submitted the cards seems like a complete idiot. Gamestop replied to him saying that his cards are not lost but he isn't accepting that as an answer because neither the store or PSA has the cards. Seems like the cards are in transit to PSA and this guy is freaking out over nothing. Also he sent retro Star Wars cards which are only valuable if they are PSA 10s (they are basically worthless raw) so his submission probably isn't worth close to 300k.
It is not worth anywhere close. He posted a video this morning with a case number and a receipt that showed he paid below $200 since the first number was a 1 and he was attempting to scramble the receipt. I believe it was 159.92 which would mean he submitted 10 cards at 15.99 and I pointed that out since he said in another video he submitted 22 cards which would be near $400 dollars. he has now removed the video but if you look up on google Cardboardgems Mason Ray his video shows a link but goes to a dead video now. he would have to Submit all of them as Golden Rod C-3PO Error cards and even then 10 PSA 10s would barely equal over half based on the one i found for $21k. He also commented in another video he was getting 11k in a settlement and may go for more in court. I would be taking them to court with a vengeance if they offered that to me for $375000, looks like he's thinking of gambling to get more. I am hoping my comment messed up and was not removed that i was editing a minute ago because that doesn't look good. I like your videos Rattle but the research on this one was lacking as I made a comment on this guys Tiktok stating facts and he removed it in what i believe is attempt to cover up the receipt now.
Everyone who sent through GameStop seeing this right now is probably terrified 😂 I will say the GameStop near me that sends those submissions in hires pretty competent ppl I go to that store just bc the employees will try and find any discount for us but the one closest to my house is garbage it’s pretty hit or miss with GameStop
So what you get no receipt you get nothing saying that you brought your cards to GameStop I don't think so GameStop That's why you'll never receive a card from me ever I want documentation.
I gave my cards to GameStop November 7th and they still haven't come back yet. The app says the cards are graded but I doubt I'll have them back before the 45 day turn around they tell you... Mine is only a couple thousand dollars worth but it's still annoying.
I submitted mine on November 8th and have had the same thing. Cards are shown as graded but when I click on their website to see the grades it just says NULL. I went on on Thursday to ask what was going on but the employee just seemed like he was over the holidays and told me to come back when the manager is there. Went in yesterday and asked a different employee and he told me they had graded cards there that have come back but that they haven't gotten around to calling the people to pick them up or even entering them in their system. Seems like it's just up to if the employees at the store you submitted want to even bother with adding them to the system or calling the customers.
@xnalaga funny you say that, I actually went in to my GameStop the other day to ask about my cards and It seemed like he was over the holidays too 😂 couldn't be bothered to even check. Just told me they probably won't be in until after the new year.
@@joeybebop The employee i talked to even pulled out a graded card to show me they had them they just hadn't sorted them. was about to tell him to give them to me so i could take mine. Probably going to go in next week whenever the manager is there cause I know him and hes super chill been managing a couple of gamestops in the area for about 10 years so hell probably check for me.
Rattle, at the 11:36 mark you talk about gamestop may be doing the card stuff as a means of grasping straw and staying afloat. When they first announced card grading, I thought it might be a ploy of staying relevant and to keep open. No one wants their business to fail after all😂
Nothing with GameStop is cheaper... Why do people even go there??? I think it's weird that they don't buy cards over $500 or 1k but they expect a 375k shipment???
I can see my grades for the sub I did through them on oct.27th. Still waiting to be able to pickup. I sent about 600ish worth of cards, got better grades than expected. This here is just reckless
A card with that much value I would have went through PSA myself. If you can afford a card that much or has a card value that high why go through GameStop. Or the card is value that much that you are trying to get rid of the card then you do this for a possibility of fraudulent.
Just buy the PSA subscription and send them in yourself. This is idiotic on his part. Or fly and drop it off at their HQ if you have that much $ into the cards.
I'm sure I've seen pokedean or pokichloe sign that binder in one of their videos. But I can't remember if it was someone visiting the cardhouse shop from the USA or one of the events.
Sending 375k worth of cards for grading through a third party is just asking for trouble. Not saying it it his own fault, but come on....
If you got 375k card collection money, you got plane ticket money to hand submit cards 😂

@@brucelee4357 Too much money and not enough braincells in this hobby
The customer sounded too fishy
I don’t understand why GameStop would open themselves up to so much liability. They are literally alive because a subreddit decided to get together and pump their stock when they knew the big hedge Funds were shorting their position. After all that they think it’s a great idea to involve themselves in a hobby that is currently in its cyclical dying phase lol. They need a top down restructuring to save themselves from themselves.
My understanding is you can't change your declared value by default your declared value is $200 per tcg card. So he sent 1875 cards through GameStop? They also are given a receipt for the submission with the number of cards submitted....I unno man
Ive heard issues on tracking submissions through Gamestop but when it comes to “missing” cards it all really comes down to what Gamestop you go to and who works there
“Why would you submit through Gamestop?” Because they are legitimate company with a very strong reputation of not fucking up orders or etc. plus cameras are installed
We knew this would happen eventually.
I've had issues getting GameStop to ship me games I purchased. They use each store as little mini warehouse packing locations(more reputable, higher volume store, etc. receives orders as primary, but GameStop tries to go as local as possible). I can't believe people are actually putting these cards in the hands of teenage employees who could see a quick "5 finger come up" and make poor decisions. I just don't get it... I just don't get it....
All the Gamestop employee is worried about is getting off work and going home to play video games. They aren't passing on the info about your shipment to their oncoming coworker properly. You are better off submitting your own cards.
Why would you trust half ass workers with your valuables. That’s like Walmart accepting submissions.
Government stuff can also be what people didn’t have a will for, always have a will, don’t leave your stuff to the government.
I submitted a single card through gamestop, I even decided to get the 1 year of pro membership so that I could get free shipping if it went well so I could grade more cards. I have been unable to log into my pro account even after trying to get help on 5 separate occasions. I haven't gotten a single update about my card and it's past the 45 day submission period. Gamestop is going to get sued into the fucking ground lmfao. DO NOT SUBMIT YOUR CARDS HERE.
If you have such a declared order, than you fly down yourself and wait for grading. This is total BS
I’m calling BS on this story. Nothing adds up. Unless the customer literally has rocks for brains
I will honestly say. You need to do a little more research. I sent in with GS and only the MANAGER handles the cards. They made me sleeve and put them in the protectors. I watched them put them up with all the others.
But you SHOULDN'T stray people away from shipping with GS to PSA.
My Local LCS Charges $50 a card to look at it and see if it's a 10. It's not hard to look at the card and do it your self.
Trusting people making less than $20/hr with an item this high value is insane..
I have 3 submissions with gamestop. Can confirm there are issues with the tracking of the submissions thru the gamestop app/website.
GameStop employees are the reason I won’t do business with GameStop… they are extremely underpaid, and for some reason their company allows the employees to be unprofessional and miserable because they can’t hire anyone else for pennies. they are extremely uneducated on everything they sell. The only things they are knowledgeable on are whatever niche game employee was already into.
I made 4 different submissions and this explains why my last submission says order being created still after 2 weeks. And why they won't let me pick up my submissions that are ready to be picked up.... pretty messed up. Although I do have doubts that guys order was worth 375k
i had a discussion about grading thru gamestop with someone who submits with me, and i help them as a middle man. The main thing it comes down to is TRUST. cheaper yes but doesnt always mean better.
I submitted 1 card just to test it out to see how it goes. hopefully they guy gets his stuff back cause that would suck.
Come to think of it IF they were to add like say a voided tag that would prevent theft, as long as the owner of the cards signed off verifying that yes its sealed, then PSA can verify received if still intact. extra security there.
For incoming, void sticker would work as well so long as picture of owner of cards is taken to verified they received their cards and signature required just like if you got a submission.
just a small idea for them to get away from that and theft within the company. far as insurance well psa or gamestop would need to pay out
I got a gamestop submission its been 20 days so far. the ship bar hasn't moved to pocessing so im vary nervous.
Same deal here. Submitted four cards Oct, 29th. Nov, 30th now and still only showing as order shipped. My order changed to shipped a few days after I submitted the cards to. So almost a month with no updates. My order eta I believe is Dec, 12 - 20th in the confirmation email I got on day one. So I'm not hitting the panic button yet but it dose suck not getting any update. I've seen people say they never got any updates and eventually got a call from GameStop that their cards were back and ready for pickup. 🤷♂️
For sure issues with the order tracker that need fixing.
@k9thundra please don’t be nervous, I promise you have nothing to worry about! I would bet my life savings that the guy who “lost $375k” is lying without a doubt - either to scam GameStop, scam PSA, or something dumb that won’t work. GameStop and PSA did a very good job at making this literally impossible to have happened.
I don’t think rattle filmed this video with Ill intent but he’s freaking people out for no reason. Making this video with zero knowledge of how the process of sending in cards through GameStop was a bad move
@@michaelmacdermott3872I bet your cards will be in soon. There is some issues with the notification system though, the notification that my cards getting graded and the one of my cards being ready for pick up was like 10 minutes apart haha the goal is a 45 day turnaround time from drop off to pick up.
Where it can get kind a of funky is GameStop actually only sends off a parcel to PSA when they have at least 20 cards ready. So if your store is a low traffic area when you dropped off your 4 cards if 16 other cards weren’t waiting to go out your cards could end up sitting for a few days. Just FYI though, once your cards are sealed in the tamper evident bag in front of you they will be immediately placed in a locked special drawer, in a locked office, that only management has access to
I noticed with my cards I sent in. It took a while for it to die that it was shipped. There is a lag time if you are using the GameStop app I believe. There is also holiday mail traffic I'd take into consideration. Don't worry to much.
What!? Using middlemen didn’t work out!
handing over your valuables to random people wasn’t a good idea?
Who would of known
That has to be fake giving that much value to a 8 dollar an hour employee is ridiculous
Hey that’s me! Thanks for checking it out.
My cards are lost at the moment. Was your shipment in New Jersey? I shipped mine from North Brunswick on Nov 13th
This guy doesn’t deserve a rattle video, 100% trouble sending high end cards with 3rd party, cards worth more than their salary integrity goes out the window
I’m grateful to you and your channel for the information you get out to the masses ✌
Someone told me to use GameStop as a good grading option, I told them yeah I think I’m good on handing ol Jim Bob my collection. Dumb
You mean to tell me this guy has $375K worth of TCG to go to PSA, and he goes through gamestop and doesn't do it himself? Smh
The turtle shoes came out this year packaged like that to be like an action figure package
When did that memo go out to employees? I have an order that hasn't updated from order created for 2 weeks now. 😢
What a big hot mess that needs to get resolved asap
Also the DECLARED value is $375K. What's the true value? Could this be a money grab? Just because that's what he declares doesnt mean thats true market value.
Cmon I totally trust the 20yo working behind the counter to handle a quarter of a million dollars worth of product they could sneak out in a backpack.
Who would use GameStop for $375k of submissions.....lol. You could literally use a 3rd party broker and/or overnight the cards with $100k+ in insurance and require signature for release directly with PSA. This seems like a fake story.
When I submit in those amounts which I admit is rare but I have done before I'm dropping them off personally at a show to PSA like at the National. This is just stupidity at it's finest.
Why would u trust game stop with 375k worth of ANYTHING. No way i would
I really like your channel but I feel like this story failed the smell test and has some inaccuracies. 1. What he claimed the value he submitted is impossible. They have a max value they are able to submit per card and it is checked in the system based on the card. In order to submit then thousands of cards to meet this threshold would take multiple days of multiple workers to handle in addition to actually store work. 2. Did he show receipts? You need to pay for submissions at the time of submission. Show the receipts! 3. GameStop has $5billion in the banks which makes it one of the most cash rich companies in the US and won’t go bankrupt anytime soon. Please follow up with the story if it is indeed real or call him out for being a scammer.
This story can’t be real. It doesn’t even sound real. 375k at a GameStop? Like really? Lol. I haven’t finished the video but I’d like to see some actual evidence on this. Did GameStop make a comment on this? Did the police find anything? Did the customer show a receipt of his payment to GameStop to show proof? Sounds like an insurance scam or just downright defamation of GameStop.
First off.. WHY, WHY IS SOMEONE SENDING OFF 375k IN PSA POKEMON ORDERS WITH GAMESTOP?! WHAT.. nooo
GameStop will reimburse him or get sued so they’re definitely gonna run an investigation
I find it extremely difficult to feel bad for someone like this. He messed up on so many different levels. 375k submission? Really? The average GameStop employee makes less than 30k a year. You’d just hand that to them and walk away? There’s not even 375k worth of stock in that entire store, lol. And why would you mail that in anyway? You have 375k to blow on cardboard made for children, but can’t spend the money on a plane ticket for a walk in submission? None of this makes any sense 😂 it’s either bogus, or this guy is really, REALLY dumb.
Does anybody know of any decent gov auction sites for the UK?
Talk about putting all your eggs in one basket smh. I would have to be crazy to send $375k worth of cards in one shipment
I was always worried about psa people swapping my cards. Like you said, we really don't know.
Also, gamestop is known for putting clearance stickers on shit and the sticker underneath is a lower price. Remember when they almost went outta business? Come on now!
It’s kinda funny how much old video games they destroyed and no have created a scarcity in the vintage video game market lmao they could’ve had a monopoly
Sounds like possible insurance fraud...
Unfortunately Game Stop customer service is a big time L!!!!!! Cant really tell what keeps GameStop afloat from going bankrupt, but mannnnnnnnnn
You got that much in possible card value, just drive to PSA headquarters yourself and submit. Why on Earth would you trust any third party OR the shipping service (USPS, FedEx, UPS) with your cards? Too many hands. Too many variables. I get like if the shipping costs or the distance is an issue, but then don't submit that all at once or if it's just a card or two, then I feel you should be doing it yourself. Wild!
Not trying to victim blame. And I really hope his issue gets resolved. But if your cards are really in the $300K range, there’s NO reason to use GameStop.
Some 18 year old kid just quit his job went to a card expo and is now on a beach.
2:04 375k submission…the last place I’m going is GameStop what a divy! Fly yours ass there and hand it over yourself 4:55 oh Star Wars cards NVM who cares
I think this makes Gamestop look bad, not the submitter.
Yes, he probably had the funds to submit himself and he probably should... The GameStop had a prime opportunity here to establish themselves as a reputable company to grade cards with and they failed
The bottom line is no one should submit cards worth that value to GameStop, however, GameStop w/PSA is providing a service and ppl should be able to have confidence and trust that their cards are safe. I wouldn't do it though.
The Poke'rev packs part has my dying.. 🤣
The switching out of cards is what worries me most about these services. Removing a perfectly centered, no whitening near pristine copy and swapping in a NM slightly off-centered with a white dot. Submit the NM copy with the customer and the employee taking the other and just submitting it themselves. Would be incredibly difficult to prove definitively that there was something going on.
There are cameras all over GameStop’s, I don’t think it would be hard to prove at all lol
Honestly Rattle has never been into a Gamestop... 200$ per card, Dude submitted 200 cards? My gamestop is well versed in Pokemon.. never had a stubbmling bumbbbling ...
i wanna see the actual receipts of what he was sending in for grading. if you have a card or cards worth that much there is no way that you arent familiar enough to submit them on your own
Gamestop corporate is literally the worst they don’t care and they never document anything I had an issue where closed a store by me and all my preorders where suppose to transfer to the next gamestop close by they never did and that was 1500 dollars in stuff from a few years ago called repeatedly talked to over a dozen people from corporate they said they will email me never did or a call back so I lost out
Im glad i waited for gamestop to rob someone other than me.
I was worried about sending with them soely for getting dust on my already clean cards 😂 poor guy.
Facts I was waiting till this happened
This was literally my first thought when I found out the PSA thing wasn't just a select few stores.
@@shadedwulfit is tho
I call bull cause no one gona send that much in through GameStop
Nobody at GameStop is submitting $375,000 worth of cards I promise
I can't see a GS employee putting a card in their pocket becuase they put a sticker/barcode on each card and they put it in the sealed bag in front of you.
The guy who submitted the cards seems like a complete idiot. Gamestop replied to him saying that his cards are not lost but he isn't accepting that as an answer because neither the store or PSA has the cards. Seems like the cards are in transit to PSA and this guy is freaking out over nothing. Also he sent retro Star Wars cards which are only valuable if they are PSA 10s (they are basically worthless raw) so his submission probably isn't worth close to 300k.
It is not worth anywhere close. He posted a video this morning with a case number and a receipt that showed he paid below $200 since the first number was a 1 and he was attempting to scramble the receipt. I believe it was 159.92 which would mean he submitted 10 cards at 15.99 and I pointed that out since he said in another video he submitted 22 cards which would be near $400 dollars. he has now removed the video but if you look up on google Cardboardgems Mason Ray his video shows a link but goes to a dead video now. he would have to Submit all of them as Golden Rod C-3PO Error cards and even then 10 PSA 10s would barely equal over half based on the one i found for $21k. He also commented in another video he was getting 11k in a settlement and may go for more in court. I would be taking them to court with a vengeance if they offered that to me for $375000, looks like he's thinking of gambling to get more.
I am hoping my comment messed up and was not removed that i was editing a minute ago because that doesn't look good. I like your videos Rattle but the research on this one was lacking as I made a comment on this guys Tiktok stating facts and he removed it in what i believe is attempt to cover up the receipt now.
So, he deleted the video???? Can't find it on his page...
ok this was bound to happen! why would anyone give GAMESTOP!!! their cards, not to mention 375K worth!!! dumb move buddy!!!!
You’re giving kids, who make very little money, a few hundred thousand in cards. You’re asking to get robbed!!!
Why in God's name would you give Gamestop $375k in value?? It doesn't get much more silly..
Everyone who sent through GameStop seeing this right now is probably terrified 😂 I will say the GameStop near me that sends those submissions in hires pretty competent ppl I go to that store just bc the employees will try and find any discount for us but the one closest to my house is garbage it’s pretty hit or miss with GameStop
So what you get no receipt you get nothing saying that you brought your cards to GameStop I don't think so GameStop That's why you'll never receive a card from me ever I want documentation.
I gave my cards to GameStop November 7th and they still haven't come back yet. The app says the cards are graded but I doubt I'll have them back before the 45 day turn around they tell you... Mine is only a couple thousand dollars worth but it's still annoying.
I submitted mine on November 8th and have had the same thing. Cards are shown as graded but when I click on their website to see the grades it just says NULL. I went on on Thursday to ask what was going on but the employee just seemed like he was over the holidays and told me to come back when the manager is there. Went in yesterday and asked a different employee and he told me they had graded cards there that have come back but that they haven't gotten around to calling the people to pick them up or even entering them in their system. Seems like it's just up to if the employees at the store you submitted want to even bother with adding them to the system or calling the customers.
@xnalaga funny you say that, I actually went in to my GameStop the other day to ask about my cards and It seemed like he was over the holidays too 😂 couldn't be bothered to even check. Just told me they probably won't be in until after the new year.
@@joeybebop The employee i talked to even pulled out a graded card to show me they had them they just hadn't sorted them. was about to tell him to give them to me so i could take mine. Probably going to go in next week whenever the manager is there cause I know him and hes super chill been managing a couple of gamestops in the area for about 10 years so hell probably check for me.
Dont blame GameStop at all. I don’t even trust them with $500 card let alone that much.
If anything I’m more suspicious of him than I am them.
Rattle, at the 11:36 mark you talk about gamestop may be doing the card stuff as a means of grasping straw and staying afloat. When they first announced card grading, I thought it might be a ploy of staying relevant and to keep open. No one wants their business to fail after all😂
Nothing with GameStop is cheaper... Why do people even go there??? I think it's weird that they don't buy cards over $500 or 1k but they expect a 375k shipment???
I can see my grades for the sub I did through them on oct.27th. Still waiting to be able to pickup. I sent about 600ish worth of cards, got better grades than expected. This here is just reckless
A card with that much value I would have went through PSA myself. If you can afford a card that much or has a card value that high why go through GameStop. Or the card is value that much that you are trying to get rid of the card then you do this for a possibility of fraudulent.
Just buy the PSA subscription and send them in yourself. This is idiotic on his part. Or fly and drop it off at their HQ if you have that much $ into the cards.
ima be real if I ever grade $375K in cards I'm dropping them off in person
Overworked, min wage GameStop employee loses or steals valuable cards.
*Shocked Pikachu face*
Yeah I don’t think you’re supposed to send that much value to GameStop. 😅 i would cap it at 10k
So he handed $375K worth of cards over to minimum wage employees?
I'm sure I've seen pokedean or pokichloe sign that binder in one of their videos. But I can't remember if it was someone visiting the cardhouse shop from the USA or one of the events.
