Do Not Grade Weiss Schwarz! 

I enjoy grading Weiss cards for my personal collection.

Graded cards in every card game have a limited clientele, making it harder to sell than a raw card. Why? People either want the raw card for a binder, the raw card to play, or the raw card to grade themselves. Due to this, people should only grade for one of two reasons: 1) They want to keep the card for a personal collection 2) They hope to get a perfect 10 from bgs/cgc/psa to sell for a high price, even if it takes a while to sell I do recommend people to look into using one touch cases, or screwdown cases if they want that encased feel without losing the raw aspect of the card. I've been using one touch cases with a sticker to keep it sealed, and a sleeve to keep the case looking nice.

would this still apply to the premium marvels? im new to collecting these are my first set ever im 14 stamps into the set with a finnished base and wasnt sure if the stamps would be worth grading

Before selling a graded card 30-50% below raw card price, I'd probably crack the case and sell it raw. But I mainly grade for my own collection and only cards I really like.

A dude named PokeMike talks about the downside of grading Weiss and brings up Disney, Marvel and by extension Star Wars. Weiss collectors/players are weebs we aren't into the Disney channel/comics so it's not surprising those sets didn't do well. Know what to grade, know what's popular and most importantly recognize when the market is down. Seems that way with all TCG's at the moment.

That is happening to all TCG's that has been here for a while. After COVID we had a bunch of people getting into the hobby to try and make some money out of it. Only recently that the recent TCG's are now stabilizing in prices because the scalpers are moving to One Piece and Lorcana (as of right now). I'm honestly very happy that the older TCG's are going to realistic prices on the secondary market.

It's nice to see that the typically Weiss Schwarz market has started to notice that grading everything like its pokemon just doesn't bring in a return (on 95% of things). Like when I was buying some graded Weiss cards even during the huge boom in prices 1-2 years ago I only ever paid over 10-20% above raw value on two cards. Everything else was within that range if not less even for pop 1 PSA/BGS 10 cards. Think the only people I realy see nowadays still grading everything to try and sell are going the BGS black label route. With them trying to sell to people outside the core market that might not know what they are actually buying is worth at conventions or on insta. But even that has seemingly massively slowed, in terms of people getting actual sales.

Very interesting video , a lot different to Pokémon, thanks Mike!

Grading cards that there isnt a graded demand for is just stupid.

Graded cards are for a specific niche of people. I honestly think grading chase cards, SSP's and such is a good idea. It may take a while to sell later down the road, but it's a long-term investment, not a quick flip. Just my twe cents on it as someone who's been a collector of multiple cards games including weiss for a decade or more now.

Trading card game cards shouldn’t be graded anyway. It’s a waste of time and money. Just screw/mag slab them. You’ll save a lot of money, and save yourself some headache.

See, that's how I view it, I'm currently trying ace as a grading service as I was curious about the ace label. It will stay in my personal collection. Otherwise, I'd sent it to beckett, but the turnaround Times are awful 😂.

It’s different for Japanese Weiss ? price is still high and collectible

I'm about to blow people's minds! DO NOT COLLECT TCGs to RESELL! Do it for yourself and because you want x1 collection or to build decks for yourself and with friends.

Are you tell a hoover what to do?

You’ve got interesting videos mate #TrophyCard

If weiss wanted to have big growth they meed to get rid of set hit rates and do something closer to pokemon hit rates. The way it stands sellers stores streamers are having a rough time with dead boxes. Guaranteed hit rates needs to go.
