I love that ninetales. It's such a beautiful card.
Same here probably my favorite out of the bunch haha 😄
Welcome to the new world of PSA grading standards...I'm 100% convinced that any vintage holo is automatically given a grade of 8 as soon as they see it and then they go down from there.
That Absol card at 5:31 looks insane! Too bad it got a 6😢
Heck yeah
Last time I ordered from Troll and Toad, I spent 400 dollars between 3 cards, they came in a single penny sleeve, inside a top loader. The card in the middle had stuff stuck all over it, front and back. The infuriating part was the shit stuck on the card in the middle left small dents on the other cards from being smashed up with it during the shipping. They were at least in acceptable condition before that. Needless to say, I wasn’t happy and I made a stink until I was able to return everything and get my money back. Troll and Toad use to be good, but that was before Pokemon collecting blew up in 2020. Their quality in singles has went to pure shit and I’ll never shop there again.
I absolutely love these PSA returns videos! They're really entertaining, regardless of the grades :)
I’m not really into the investing side of Pokémon card collecting so I wouldn’t send any cards to psa or any other grading companies but it’s still cool to see what grades these cards get
I just started my pokemon collection, and the reason why was because of this channel
Hallelujah 🙌🏻!!!!! The daily jesus devotional has been a huge part of my transformation, God is good 🙌🏻🙌🏻. I was owing a loan of $49,000 to the bank for my son's brain surgery, Now I'm no longer in debt after I invested $11,000 and got my payout of $290,500 every month…God bless Mrs Susan Jane Christy ❤️
Hello how do you make such monthly??
I'm a born Christian and sometimes I feel so down🤦🏼of myself because of low finance but I still believe in God🙏.
She's a licensed broker here in the states🇺🇸 finance advisor.
Thanks to my co-worker (Alex) who suggested Ms Susan Jane Christy
After I raised up to 525k trading with her I bought a new House and a car here in the states 🇺🇸🇺🇸and also paid for my son's surgery (Oscar). Glory to God.shalom.
Can I also do it??? My life is facing lots of challenges lately
So graded cards from like a decade ago being like a 5+ are worth a bunch, but modern cards now need to be a 10 to be valuable right now? I guess they'll be more valuable in the future hopefully
yeah idk this video made me anxious and nervous. i just sent 20 cards to psa im trippin hahah
😮😮😮 dude so sorry it wouldn't let me comment thought it did but it was to your post
They wont because the populations of modern cards in high grades are much higher. So the desperation to buy *any* grade is reduced and lower grades wont have much value
Yeah I am buying many modern graded cards at 8-9 at significant lower prices than raw. I don’t buy raw anymore.
@@yosefbensadon4933how come? There’s going to be so many of those in the future since so many packs are being opened atm, people are keeping them in better shape, and getting a 10 is so hard. Therefore I’d assume the market will be saturated with 8 and 9s of more modern cards
Love the honesty and transparency in this PSA card reveal! Even though the grades weren't what we hoped for, it's all part of the collecting journey. The mix of nostalgia with those old-school cards and the excitement of seeing what grades come back is always a thrill. Can't wait to see more from your collection, and fingers crossed for better luck next time! Keep up the awesome content! 🔥
I’m submitting some vintage cards next week I’m excited to see how they do
Love your openings because you dont rush them and comment on regular arts aswell!
That shows true! what a fun game/idea!!!
the dark persian was giving the bombastic sideye😆
Up until a week ago I didn't realize how difficult it was to have a card be in perfect condition... This video just solidifies that fact that it seems almost impossible to have a grade 10
If you don't have centering tools, and the ability to use digital microscopes to look for even the tiniest spec of surface wear, you will get hit with 9's all day long. And even then it feels like grading companies are population controlling some outcomes. Never seen so many videos of people cracking and resubmitting cards to the same and different companies in all my life until the last three years. I will stick to keeping my stuff in a binder and sleeved.
2:59 emo venusaur is crazy 💀💀 anyway this the first time ive commented even though ive been watching for a while but your channels great, keep it up!
Interesting idea!
Just started collecting with my 5 yr old son!! We love watching your vids when we open packs 💪🏽 thanks for entertaining us!!
Idk if the grading is even the same quality any more. Some of them are questionable choices
I wish there was a grading company that used "conditions" that make sense. 6 excellent mints are not mint. They're light played. Shoot, 7's are pushing it in terms of being near mint and lightly played
Just maybe it’s your opinion of grades that is off?
@@tomasjmr
It's a matter of the physical description of the card that graders give them. I get that the grade is what's important and the subgrades are the cards what determines the final grade of a card. It just doesn't make sense to say call a 6 "excellent to mint" when the card is actually lightly played. If that doesn't make sense. Then please, just don't reply
SLAM THAT LIKE BUTTON IF YOU WERE HERE WITHIN THE FIRST HOUR!
So yeah I sent in recent and was shocked by almost all 6's. Then I read through and it says even a single scratch puts it at a six. A seven, even eight can have a little edge wear, but NO scratches. I was so sad when I got a bunch of vintage back at lower prices then what I paid.
if you send shitty cards you get shitty grades
Just watching this video makes me want to send all of my vintage cards and more
I only just got into the Pokemon community recently and I love it! I use to collect them when I was way younger and now I’m collecting sets
Exactly the same as me
Still haven’t gotten any cards graded myself, maybe now is the time to get my wrinkled up ho-oh graded lol
Poke rev mystery pack button👇
Dark Persian remains a totally overlooked gem of a card
Less than one minute
Who cares
That's what you wife says
@@apetits311 🤣🤣
It only gets more and more difficult to find these vintage cards and nice condition, but even at a slight loss, I still think it’s worth grading them
That was a rough psa return.
PokeRev: *pulls out literally any card*
PokeRev: "This type of card is so hard to guess"
😂
Only real Pokémon fans can like this comment
Idea: In these videos, it would be interesting to see and write down what you think each card would grade when you get them raw (1st video) so then when you go into these return videos, you can see what you thought they would grade vs what they get! Keep up the great content 💪🏼
Please heart this pokerev 😢
yep always heart him
I think I've got the bug! Bought my first ever booster pack last week and pulled a super rare Teal Mask Ogerpon... Didn't even know what that meant at the time LOL. Love your content mate. Felt your pain on the 10k fake box video - you handled it like a gent. All the best!
Excited to get our first grades back next month. This helps puts things into perspective. Thank you!
Wear and tear aside, that Ninetales card his one of the most beautiful I've ever seen! 🔥🔥
PSA might have gotten faster but I think their grading is a lot more inconsistent and a majority of the time not an accurate depiction of the true grade.
Wow, first time the background fell this week!
It is only Monday 😂
@@EricJh21690 I know right 😂
love psa returns. its either the best day ever or the worst
Seems like slipping a few potential 9’s and 10’s when sending off probable 6-7’s (or worse) is a nice way to soften the blow. You should do that any time you get poor quality when purchasing mystery products.
I have been begging my mom to get me one of those mystery packs. But anyway I just want to say that pokerev is a great TH-camr and that he inspired me to start collecting myself. So thank you for that I really enjoy collecting. And you are a great TH-camr keep up the good work man. ❤🗿
I don't like the grading videos as much as pack opening, but it is interesting to see what sellers class as near mint, and what they actually grade as.
I feel like PSA is just so inconsistent nowadays. If the graders are in a good mood then you'll get better grades but the opposite is also true. I've gotten low grades, cracked them and resent them and gotten higher grades. 🤷♂ Still love watching slab returns! Great vid.
Rev you vault and CTR should make a group channel. Y’all together is comedy gold
Psa reminds me of the dmv…. probably the same people that worked at the DMV work at PSA.
That dark persian is a gorgeous card. I have a non-holo version that I adore, but this version is next level!
The best thing about grading cards is that they're protected from time and the elements. It help preserve the legacy of Pokemon
This is why no one trusts PSA any more, Id rather use the new companies that at least show you a full scan of your card so you can see why it got the grade it did
I mean technically 7 is considered NM 😅
Painful how. Long u sweat the card vs how fast u open packs lol
Would love to see a video on how to buffer out scratches on PSA slabs!
That Keldeo is def like that bc of how they used to put the promos in the packaging. Thank god they started using the inserts instead of the tabs.
I think I'm addicted to getting cards graded. It's like opening the pack all over again, but even better.
It's crazy how these cards get graded regardless of how they look on the surface just started pokemon myself
Just started collecting pokemon cards to relive my childhood. This channel has been a huge inspiration for me. Keep up the good work!!
I love fireworks holos. At my Stellar Crown prerelease I pulled the Bulbasaur IR and a guy there priced it at $50 based on the TCGplayer presale and wanted to trade for it, so I picked a Moltres fireworks holo out of his binder that he priced at $35 because of one tiny crease in the holofoil that didn't even show on the reverse but he still called it damaged despite the rest of the card being LP and he also gave me 10 bucks. I feel like I got away with highway robbery.
grading vintage can be so intresting
Grading is hard and you show what reality vs expectations is Nick.
I would love to see how to buff out the PSA cases! I have some that I need to do that too!
I do enjoy seeing graded cards, so it was nice to see what ones you got, while I do just love that Reshiram card.
Never graded any cards. Something about being able to touch the cards I love.
Bought 70 packs of One Piece Paramount War off Ebay to help start my TCG business, and they were all opened, currently arguing with the scammer before I can escalate to Ebay support. Feeling like Pokerev with a spanish base set right now.
My last PSA return was also within reasonable amount of time, they’re moving along! But this is why I’m afraid to buy “near mint” online 🤣
The price on the ungraded Dark Charizard was crazy! You would think it was super mint with that price tag!!
So interesting to watch as I’ve been considering getting some of my cards graded.
Rev literally every other card "this can go one of to ways" LOL
I’m slowly building up my stack of cards that I want to grade but I always love seeing your PSA return videos! 🔥🔥
This is why I started buying PSA 6 or 7 vintage cards. Cheaper than near mint, already graded and in a slab, and probably similar condition
i absolutely adore diamond and pearl, EX, and platinum era cards, but i've come to realize that i don't really like the holo/reverse holos all that much. sick cards, i just think we do holofoil a ton better now.
Yo, awesome videos! Just started collecting again a few weeks ago and you've been my #1 source of scratching the itch when I cant get packs. Keep it up man, we appreciate you!
Very cool see price paid followed with the price value after graded. Great video!
Loving the content. All the old school gen 1 reminds me of my younger days where I opened up my first booster pack on Christmas Day
Anything with Zard is always a good time
My favourite card from the submission is the Absol holo from Team Magma vs Team Aqua! Cool video, hope you do more of these Rev!
Love the PSA return! Some of these cards graded better than expected!
Goated vid also I think that PSA has the best and most valuable the other ones are nice but I just like psa
Just ordered the 4.0s, would love a 5.0!
That Ninetails card looks sweet! Too bad for all the scratches and off centering of it though!
Legendary collection is goated. Absolutely love those reverse holos.
Please poke rev. 36 yrs old. Getting back in . Old memories
Send that Raikou this way 🌩
Can't believe the grades some of these cards got.. Insane....
Love the channel
Next time do a full submission of Mr. Mimes and Pinecos! 😂
Great video ! Nice to see what grades the cards got and shows us if it’s worth it or not 😂
PSA return videos are so addicting (and reaction content in general is addicting idk why)
PSA is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.🍫
I want the poke rev pack I never got it because it is so sold out😂😂😂
Wow, the cards came back pretty quick! Ya, I kinda figured those cards weren't gonna grade high. Cool you took a stab at it to see what happens. That kind of experiment is too rich for my blood, haha.
Wait, it seriously costs $70 to grade a single card? I’m in the wrong business.. 😂
Really appreciated your work man
PSA is rough on those grades. Some of those I thought would for sure be an 8 or 9.
Do you get discount for grading cards in bulk at PSA?
Graded cards are always a cool thing to see!
still waiting for Rev to open a booster box of EX Dragon and Legends Awakened on a live for the first time
Is PSA the best place to get cards graded? I know there are a few places to get cards graded but I usually only see PSA or Beckett on channels like this. The older cards being all around a 6 was kinda wild. Great video.
It's always funny when the backdrop falls 😅
Wasnt bad considering these were purchased online randomly ! Great vid man
Just found your page a few days ago while getting back into pokemon card collecting. Thanks for the great content !
