- DO THIS, before you send your Pokémon cards to PSA!
In this episode I break down exactly what you need to be looking for before you send your cards off to get graded. I also provide you with some very useful tools that PSA also uses to grade your cards.

Definitely enjoy vids like this. It’s very helpful and encouraging seeing the processes and what to do step by step. Thanks man!
So glad you did this video especially for the beginner collectors
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this vid, can't believe I hadn't seen it yet! I'm getting my first set of cards ready for grading and definitely gonna take my time with it. Most of them are for resale but some of them are just my favorite cards and don't really mind the grade, just want them in a slab. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge!
This is what I was looking for! Thanks a lot for putting this together!!
Thanks for this video this will really help me when it comes to grading, I’ve been nervous about grading as I’ve not done it before so I have no idea what issues to look out for in a card other than the obvious ones until now
I personally only buy cards pre-graded. The cards I keep in my collection are mainly for commemorative reasons. I think I prefer CGC or BGS just because I like the shape of the cases, and BGS penny sleeves the cards in the case. Thanks for the info!! Keep Dancing!!
Super helpful video, I've yet to grade anything but excited to give it go as prices and turnarounds come down!
Loving this series so far! Very informative
I’ve only been collecting for about a year and I haven’t graded any cards yet thank you for the tips. Keep up the good work can’t wait for pt 2.
The Bible says that no one is a good person. We have all broken God's law the 10 commandments, we have all committed, lies, adultery, idolatry, and blasphemy. We deserve hell, but because of what Jesus did on the cross we can be forgiven. So if you Repent of your sins, change your wicked ways, and put your faith in Christ you will be written in the book of life. 👌 🙏Repentance is reviewing one's actions and feeling contrition or regret for past wrongs, which is accompanied by commitment to and actual actions that show and prove a change for the better..
Thank you so much for this video man. As a new collector in the Pokemon tcg world, this has helped me so much.
I liked and subscribed. Valued this video. I've been pulling all my old stuff. I've always been the type to collect cards rather than play with them. looking to encapsulate that childhhod, but also grade and sell some of the duplicates to cover the cost of grading. thanks for the vid.
Thanks! This is just what I was looking for.
Great content! Can’t wait for part 2.
Wow I am new to this channel and I'm blown away. I never knew this but it definitely helps me if I want to send stuff into PSA. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge!!
Welcome to the squad!
Loved the video can't wait for part 2
Great vid.
I've never had a card graded, but i assumed that if the card came out of a pack and straight into a holder, it must be a 10.
Never realised that the actual quality of the print came into it.
👍
Awesome video. can't wait for part 2
Awesome video and I truly appreciate you going over the fine details...
Hey Sean, would you do a video on how you prefer to store your pokemon cards? Binders/top loaders, etc?
Awesome video. I've been collecting for the past few years but have yet to send anything to get in to get graded. This will really help determine which of my cards to send in in the future as I've just been waiting for grading prices to come back down.
Very cool!
Great insight cant wait for part 2
Amazing. Thank you for showing how to use the grading tool
I have seen them for sale but had no idea how to actually use it. Now I think I will grab the next one I see.
I’m hoping to send some cards into psa before New Years. I hear there are some sale s on currently.
I’ve not actually graded any of my cards yet but will need to deffo check them out cause there’s a few I want
thank you for the content! very helpful
Very insightful! Thanks for the Pro tips
This video is really dope thank you !
Wow I’m glad I found your channel, this video is sooooo informative, this answered ALOT of questions for me!!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video! Very helpful! You're a legend
This is a video I truly needed. Ill probably watch it more than once.
Great video, answered a lot of questions! Looking forward to pt. 2!
Awesome! Thank you!
Love your videos brother!!! I'm going to buy one of those centering tools!!
Very helpful series thank you!
Thanks for this. I have been wanting something like this video for a long time. I have not sent anything in because of the very things you mentioned. I was not willing to take a risk based on a whim. At least now I can be educated on the risk. Looking forward to part 2.
🤜🏻🤛🏻
I need to watch the part 2. Can't wait to get my cards graded.
Awesome info! I sent off the magneton base set holo I pulled from the base set break you did last month along with some e series cards I got from revs break to psa they looked perfect. I think it's good to be more strict than psa would be when reviewing especially at $50 a card for economy right now.
100% agree and that’s awesome!
thanks man, abt to send in my first card for grading, a rayquaza vmax alt art from evolving skies I pulled myself, really just looking to seal it up and possibly be able to sell it in the future
I honestly can't believe you're not the biggest Pokemon TH-camr yet. You share so much great knowledge. I appreciate it so much. Thank you!
wow.... I appreciate that!
Great video. Extremely informative. I love the flow of your explanation. You make it look easy
Thanks Bob!
Thank you for this! I found a first edition shadowless charizard from my childhood! I immediately put it in a hard case (the kind that closes around the card, not the kind that you slide in) and I’d love to see what it gets graded!
dont send it to PSA in a hard case
Thank you for your tips! 😊
I've yet to send anything to get graded, but I got a rainbow zardstar that's sure to pull a 9+ pretty sure a gem10! Just waiting on the grading services to stabilize a bit

Sir I’ve gotta tell you… I’m just getting back into the tcg scene after a few years’ hiatus. Everything pointed out in this vid is on point! Never send anything off unless you’re positive that you’ll get an 8 at worst. Unless there’s the Big Mac daddy Charizard or something. Personally I like to collect full 1st edition Wizards holo sets and send them off all together.
Your zard’s gotta be sick! Anything else you’d like to send in?
That's exactly where I am I've heard to many story's of psa sending out 5s for no reason
@@pewtermuseum5227 wizards is too rich for my blood but I wish I had some. I've got gold arceus n mew that I may send out one day
@Wilfredo Gomez I bet you still call a Gallus gallus domesticus a chicken or a lollipop a pop. Or an cellular telephone a cell phone. Or an automobile a car
Very informative, thank you very much. And i dunno what camera u are using but getting a macro lens can help u with that up close focusing issue that u are having. Cheers
Amazing info, thanks a lot
Great info mate! Just what i was looking for.
No problem 👍
Thank you for explaining how to figure out which cards are worth sending to grade🎉
Perfect I just pulled a celebration charizard and was planing to grade it 🙏🏼
Awesome!
Awesome video! Pretty helpful! Can you make a video on how to check prices if you don’t have one? I still have to check your whole channel, which I will as soon as I have the time. But I would love to see which websites and criteria you use to check prices.
I can not express, how useful this video is. Great job!👍
🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you Shawn this was so very helpful with PSA going down to $30 I have about 50 cards I’ve been sitting on to send in I have the time to wait for PSA can’t wait for your next episode Keep up the great content
Thanks Nick. I just sent in 100 myself
Very insightful and educational. I look forward to purchasing those tools and scrutinizing my cards. Looks fun, actually. Thank you!
Hahaha 🤣
Another informative content. Thank you. Keep it up man!
Appreciate it!
Thanks for making this video
Amazing video thank you.
I am going to watch both videos and compare this to coin grating because I also do that and that was my 1st Passion before this
This video is my homework - great content!
Thank you for this info! The grading scene is vast and intimidating, and you helped demystify and explain a lot here, very clearly - ty!
I know this might merit another video, if one hasn’t been made yet, but how do you approach protecting and storing your cards? To preserve value while staying organized?
I’ve actually made a video on this in the past but could certainly do an update video
@@PokeVault8 found em! Thanks! The “LEVEL 2” video of the Poke Vault was particularly helpful!
Would you ever consider doing a video on how to find ungraded WOTC cards in semi-decent condition? I just got into collecting and don’t have hundreds of dollars for graded cards. Really enjoying your videos!
I haven’t gotten anything graded yet, but I pulled a rainbow Zard from champions path that I’m planning to send in. Thanks for the video!
Hell yeah!
Nice channel, Thanks a lot for the info, Im starting to make my homework
Great video man!
Dude this was awesome 👌 👏 empowering the people!
🤜🏻🤛🏻
Got a Ken Griffey Jr Topps 1989 #41T and I didn’t know how or if I should, this helped!
I have a Rocket’s Hitmonchan Ex misprint. It has a Red ink error, I’ve had it stored away for almost 20 years….about to send that Beauty in. 😁
Thanks great show
Your video helped a lot I'm new to grading and am getting my first order ready, honestly I was wondering if you ever do one on one with anyone for advice and so on. Hope this doesn't sound creepy lol just looking fir any advice and potentially your opinion on what I've bought to be graded and so on!!!
Great video, super useful, thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you thousand Time!!!
Great video man! Been waiting a long time for these videos! Also can we just talk about how amazing that Kadabra card is? Gorgeous.
😍😍😍
I do got a few cards in my collection I want to get graded at some point. I might just go the 50 dollar route since its only 3 cards I want to grade.
haha dude just what i needed!!!!! idk what to grade whats not worth it
Thinking about sending my alt art zard to PSA along with a few other cards and this helps a lot! Also just found this channel but congrats on 30k dude.
What’s up trash boat. I love your TH-cam channel lol
@@PokeVault8 Thanks, I get that a lot 🤘😎 Unlike your channel name I don't actually own a trash boat, though it would be pretty cool if I did.
@@trashboat10969 lol noted
videos like this make me feel like i ain't the only one thinking the way i do lol awesome video thanks for the great content brother take care
Thanks for watching!
Very cool vid sir! I never even would have thought about a centering tool, seems like a small investment that could save a ton of pain. Thank you!
Graded with a few European graders this year to form an opinion. Imo only Cardmarket graded has the extra Goodwill value. For me that is the big decisive factor. CM their grading is OK. but their slab (also the new one) is a big nono. PSA slabs are so simple, yet so good.
Great vid!!
Thanks for your hard work
It's my pleasure
wow ty for the info
Sharing information is amazing. Too many people want to try and keep the "secret" for themselves.
I'm all about the community brother
Can't wait to get to the point where I start grading some of my collection.
It's the best honestly. Especially if it is from your childhood
@Poke Vault Absolutely agree. My first three will be (2) Ancient Mew promos and the Japanese banned misty's tears.
Great content as always! I’ve sent in over 5,000 cards to get graded now. Luckily I have 20/15 vision, which is a little bit better than the average 20/20 vision. Jeweler’s loop helps too!
Boom!
This is great dude
Had a walking wake alt .. has some very light edge ware .. decided to send it .. everything else look good to me ..
Completely new to grading here but I've known about it for a long time. I've always wondered is there a grading system for error cards?
Thanks for the video! I recently wanted to dip my toes into Pokemon cards, hadn't opened a booster pack in a decade and before that over another decade back to when the original packs got released. Mostly just loved some of the full art versions I'd seen recently and had to get that nostalgia itch scratched. Got one 36-count booster box each of Lost Origins and Silver Tempest, put all the holographic cards I pulled (even the common and uncommon ones, when'd that start happening??) into sleeves, top loaders, then a binder designed for top loaders. I recently ordered more booster boxes, one each for Brilliant Stars, Fusion Strike, and Astral Radiance. Some of the rarer cards I've seen have such amazing artwork, I'd love to find a couple!
I don't think I got anything particularly rare so far, but I was still thinking I might send some to get graded, mostly because I think it would be nice to display them on a shelf in their cases. Not really planning on trying to sell any so no profit motivation, most of these would probably sell for less than the cost to grade them, but it'd still be nice to get some solid 10's since they're pack fresh. The most common issue I noticed while checking them out today was scratch marks on some of them, often just one. I assume from the printing process or something, straight scratches on the front, sometimes the back. Otherwise, I didn't notice any bends, creases, edge issues, etc. If scratches are present, think should I assume a PSA 10 is not going to happen?
PSA tens are very rare. Especially in vintage
@@PokeVault8 What do you mean in vintage? All the ones I would send in I just got from the newer packs. Either way, yeah, figured I might not get any.
@@HeartlessPhoenix you have a way better chance if they are newer
@@PokeVault8 I guess we'll see what happens! Either way, they'd look great on a shelf. At this point I'll wait until I go through the new booster boxes I just ordered, then pick my favorites to send as a group, if I end up deciding to get them graded.
I have a psa 8 first edition lugia from neo it’s graded an 8 but I think it can do better u think I should resend to psa or go to beckett?
Got a bunch i want to get graded including Celebrations Zard, Blastoise and Venusaur and the Rainbow Zard VStAr. Just waiting to be able to afford it
I cant even afford to grade 1 card. Ive only been collecting pokemon cards since Feb 2022. Im struggling to complete my brilliant stars and want to complete that as only 43 cards away from completing. Would be so nice to have a complete binder. 1 day I will hopefully be able to afford to get some of my better cards graded just so ive got in my collection
I’m brand new to this and have a couple of questions. Your opinion would be very helpful. I want to send in my Shadow Mewtwo Amiibo card to get graded by either PSA or CGC. The thing is it’s sealed in the original plastic it came in. The cards condition is mint. Now my question is should I send it as is (likely with signs of minor finger prints on the plastic), or take it out of the seal and send it out raw (incased carefully in something else). I want really want to go for that perfect 10 grading. What would you do?
This was another banger man keep that fire
🤜🏻🤛🏻
Love your videos!! Where do you usually check prices for PSA rated cards?
eBay last sold
Thnx, great vid. I am prepping my first set ever to go to cgc and I already picked out the high value low grade ones so happy to see I was correct there!
My question is what would that card on left have recieved best guess?
7-8
Interesting. I have ever card from the first 3 sets, all holograms put in a sleeve then hard plastic and taped. I hope the sleeve didnt stick to the card after watching this. Wonder if it is worse getting them graded.
I have a card that only has a tiny white mark the size of the sharp tip of a sewing pintl on one of the corners, if I sent that, what type of grade should I expect to get?
I got a vintage charizard holo NP. Debating if I would grade it first before selling
I got a 1st ed shadowless Charizard that ive had since base release. I know its not mint, got a few lil tiny tiny dings on the face where u can see some silver comin thru, but you reallly really gotta angle the card in light and look. I know PSA will see this, how much does this knock the card down on a 10 scale?
Been wondering about this
Thanks. Please make a video on best grading companies in EU
If I have a collection of Base Set and BS2 cards that are truly in pristine condition, am I more or less likely to get a high grade? If that’s a question worth asking lol.. I was just wondering
Do they grade for when you lay the card down flat and it does not lay perfectly flat on a flat surface? Also, does psa let you know what your card got dinged on?
This is a question I had since I got back into the hobby a couple months ago.
