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.

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!

@gavindevlin8226 2 года назад

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!!

@Hollywooddreams1122 2 года назад

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 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.

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.

@TmacPlushVideos 2 года назад

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..

@JarrydRLee 2 года назад

Super helpful video, I've yet to grade anything but excited to give it go as prices and turnarounds come down!

@notbadsteve Год назад

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. 👍

@nerd_life34 2 года назад

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.

@pewtermuseum5227 2 года назад

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?

@TheAquaPapa 2 года назад

@matthewallen1957 7 месяцев назад

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?

@JordanMontanaNYC Год назад

@JnrInd Год назад

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?

@Gavin_douglas 2 года назад

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.

@edwardbrock3807 3 месяца назад

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?

@UncleDavidT Год назад

What about bends in the card? Does it have to be perfectly straight to get a 10?
