Grader notes should be included for free. Perhaps it's my experience with CGC, where comics are graded without extra costs. As a paying subscriber, it feels like PSA is trying to squeeze every dime out of the customer by charging for an additional service. I don't hate PSA-I happily own many graded cards from PSA and other graders-but that's just how it seems to me.
Facts. It's literally just good customer service to do so. PSA is taking their customers for granted and it's not cool to milk every cent at their volume.
Exactly, but everyone continues praising a grandfathered system when the only real credibility it has is a subjective number for a grade that has been shown time and time again that even that grade that they give can be drastically wrong, even within psa’s own “standards”.
the problem is the people in this case. for some reason people love PSA no matter what they do, i for one prefer Beckett but I still grade with PSA only because if you go to card shows over half the people there wont even look at your slabs if its not in a PSA slab lmfao.
PSA is a joke just like WATA, they just seem to care if you throw more money at them. The fact that you you can get get a 5 changed to a 9 or 10 by resubmission just shows how inconsistent that company can be with their so called expert grading system. At least companies like CGC provide notes as to why you got your score.
@@missingno81 yeah, I mean, I’m a raw collector first, but if I can’t find a decent copy of the card I want, I will buy graded
Grader notes and sub grades should be a standard
Agreed. Customers should know the reason for every grade issued. It's frustrating especially in instances when you receive a lower grade than you anticipated. I just checked the pricing for Grader Notes and it' starts at $129 per card... And that's with the $150 annual PSA subscription. That is insane.
edit: that's the lowest tear that can include Grader Notes. Express (5 day turn around). Hopefully they add it to the standard ones for a fraction of the price.
Grader notes.... Sounds like selling something they should have been including for free.
Was super happy to see you at Card Party! Thank you so much for a quick recap in your video and the kind words, as well as mentioning my binder series too! 🤝
We've had our hands on the new PSA slabs... not a fan.
While yes theyve pretty much eliminated the rattle issue, they appear to have gone too far.
We've had a few cards bowed in the case from a lack of width in the frame, and 1 card completely rippled like a letter that didn't fit inside an envelope.
They're also a nightmare to crack, as the plastic wants to bend and fold rather than split apart like the old ones would.
Yikes rippled cards! Harder to crack?! Ugh I wish they had left them alone. Sounds like they may be damaging a bunch of cards :(
Makes sense that they would make it harder to crack, unfortunately. Discourages regrading which gives them bad publicity
Awesome stuff as always! Really enjoyed vending next to you at the MN Card show!
If we get that team rocket set I want black border cards surrounding the card just like they did with team plasma cards. I would love a team Rocket Nidoking holo for the set ☺️
Dark Blastoise is my fave Blastoise art ever and my fave Pokemon ever. I’ve always loved Team Rocket. My fave set all time is Team Rocket. So I am absolutely looking forward to this set.
i still like pokemon i always will
I think grader notes could prevent a small percentage of grader bias. I always hear that grades could be up to the mood or opinions of the grader, and if they need to provide notes it could challenge graders to be more accurate.
True, like an accountability measure. On the other hand, it could pressure graders into finding something wrong, so they don't look lazy.
All of this year’s illustration contest Bidoof’s are bangers
It's amazing how many great artists are in the fan-base . . . I'm definitely not one of them!
I'm hoping to get a few 151 stamp variants from the Holiday Calendar and Halloween packs for my master set binder.
Sadly the Professor Voltorbs seems like a goal post to far for me.
Maybe we'll also get some McDonald's variants as well.
The grading industry is in desperate need of an overhaul and potentially regulation/ oversight.
PSA being the industry standard but having an inferior slab for years is mind boggling.
The art contest, didn't technically have AI being against the rules, you can view them yourself.
The vaporeon pose is similar, sure, but also different, how many poses can you draw a pokemon in reality though?
I think AI art is art, and its no different then when digital art began to overshadow hand drawn years ago.
So many digital art programs also utilize AI as an artist assist within them, so where do you draw the line?
I don't see how its unfair either, since anyone could technically use ai for the contest as well, creating a fair playing field.
I don't think grades are suppressed, I see more cards getting 10's when they look like 9's.
Am I the only one that thinks that could pump up the prizes for the illustration contest? They are the biggest media franchise in the world, they could have bigger prizes
That production information is amazing 😮
Someone please correct me, but wasn’t the eBay vault at first a way to AVOID fees? Or wasnt it like significantly cheaper to use eBay vault??
And now psa bought it and if I’m hearing it right it’s
now MORE than eBay’s fees? I get with shipping and stuff it might be easier but I was under the impression the eBay vault originally was significantly cheaper??
I’ve never used it, just genuinely curious.
Yes, that sounds accurate. eBay Vault was operating under an introductory rate and would increase fees over time, but this is a significant increase all at once.
Rolling out a new product at zero fees or discounted fees to gain traction is common practice
@@pokemon_classics gotcha , so it was like a one time deal that just went away when PSA bought it , I do remember a bunch of people talking about it when it happened.
What do you think about the potential AI generated pokemon illustration contest entries? There was some buzz going around about that recently.
Just found your channel - great stuff!
Great video classics, only wish we had more content from you
Thank you . . . videos like this one take so much time to research, script, film, and edit. I'm not sure I'll ever be able to output more than a couple videos per week.
Man I can’t wait for you to become a top 5 poketuber. Your videos are S tier! I was so happy to meet you at card party.
Thanks and great meeting you too! I don't ever anticipate becoming a "big" channel . . . for now I'm happy balancing this with my other hobbies and teaching career.
Awesome update, as always. Thanks for all the time and energy you put into making these for us!
I'm excited about the Team Rocket set. It's been a long time since we've seen unique versions of Pokemon (Light & Dark). Definitely not overplayed like EX/V/VMAX/GX. I do enjoy the sub grades option with other companies so I'm pleased with PSA opting to be more transparent too. Card Party truly is unique from any other convention out there. I'm looking forward to seeing you again next year!
Great take on the Team Rocket set! I'll probably only be able to attend the Tampa Bay Card Party next year, but I'm really looking forward to it!
Love the content! Just wanted to say thanks!
The fact that umbreon is featured in the art of the pack gets everyone excitement
Great content as always. I really hope they make the team rocket set as a main set. I can’t wait.
First time in your channel and I already love your channel!
Love the video man! Definitely looking forward to more of these
Always a good day when classics drops a video. You the man 👌🏻
I love the adventure calendars!! It's one of my favorite ways to experience pokemon with the kids! They all have their favorite calender, and I always have my pokemon one! I hope they never stop this product! It's one of the funnest products! (Maybe not value, but the experience is priceless!)
New collector here. Thanks for the info
Best channel for pokemon card news and information. Always super digestible!
Wow, thanks! I appreciate the kind words.
I hope we get Rainbow Rocket ultrabeasts
Legendary content as always brother! Keep up the great work! :)
Good video. Thank you.
That KBA (Koenig & Bauer) printing press be running 24/7
It's like the old Energizer Bunny commercials . . .
Excellent content bro! Thank u!!!
lol what is the name of that intro song, sounds awesome
It’s in the video description!
Your content is awesome bro keep it up! Thank you for the video!
Love the content, keep up the great work! Stay classy
I bought 4 boxes 1st edition Team Rocket in July 2000 for my son, but we only opened 3 boxes. I still have 1 sealed 1st edition box, many 1st edition holo and non-holo rare cards, many sets 1st edition uncommon and common cards. These cards have never been played. I’d like to sell all this weekend if i got a good deal.
You are selling? I might be interested in buying
@@MrGuitarfreak132yes, I want to sell. Beside those, I have 1 English and 1 Japanese binder. 7 banned Japanese cards, many promo cards.
Dark absol. PLEASE dark absol
Great vid. TY
Why no auction of the week video? 😢
It's coming . . . I'm trying to do them every other week.
keep it up!
Where are they getting all dis papers
great content as always!
Thanks so much, these news recaps take a long time to make, so it's always validating to know people enjoy them or found them helpful.
@@pokemon_classics oh for sure! I never am able to keep up with everything in this hobby so these recaps definitely help!
great vid
If this isn’t big I’m mad
I’m mad lol
TAG does it for free and their slabs look much better. Don't have the ugly piece of papers label.
TAG slabs do look nice and the DIG report is impressive.
Dude, where did you get the banger audio in your intro music? It’s killer!
Can you end one of your videos shouting “Grendel!!!!”
Is that a Beowulf reference?
@@pokemon_classics yes sir !
This is old news
It's a recap of the news from the previous month (June). Most people don't follow the news on a daily basis, so these videos are meant to consolidate and abridge a month's worth of news.
Wow Beavis promoting his boy butthead (smpratt) about a month odd video about population. Bravo on changing the narrative 🤡
It's a recap of news and videos from the previous month. These are my picks, and I try to pull them from different areas. I agree with Scott's take on population control, though you're welcome to disagree. I'm sorry if my opinion hurt you.
6:21 I always get the holiday boxes, last years was a dud…. 1st one was awesome though 🤌
What was the difference? More fun packs rather than regular packs in last year's?
@@pokemon_classics the packs in the first one were better. The Pikachu promo we got in English was awesome too. The 2nd didn’t have a great exclusive like that and there were a lot of the 3 card sample packs. Basically more fluff than value in the 2nd one. Looking forward to the new one though! 🤌
That production information is amazing 😮
