How To Assess Your Yu-Gi-Oh! Cards For PSA/BGS 

This man needs more subs, this was one highly detailed video/tutorial! Thank you, Schloast!

so useful, thank you so much on this. Straight to the point.

just sub, what a great vid and great channel!

Nice vid bro!

Very informative!

Very accurate, agree with everything said here!

Very very informative video!

Amazing video! Thanks so much for sharing in such details all this information. The harsh reality of grading though is like you said, the difference between one grader giving your card a 9 or 10 is subjective. For all you know, that grader could be having a bad or extra picky day when he reviews your card, and that alone could deter what final grade you get. It's pretty unfair and sucks when you really think about it.

Great job. Subbed!

damn....you went in DEEP on the subject haha awesome! Although I would not use 1st edition Injection Fairy Lily as an example lol, she's too valuable! T_ T lol but all your cards are kept very clean they look so mint!

great video Schloast!

Been contemplating sending alot of my cards for awhile never played straight put into a sleeve binder open very carefully and only held by the edges I wore gloves while removing from thier packaging and didn't spend tike checking them out until after they were placed in the binder. The one I really want to get graded is a 1st edition ghost rare black rose dragon which I got a bullet proof container with screws in all 4 corners that I carefully placed in the center before lowering the glass onto the card and gently screwing it down its been in the case for probably almost 6 years now and have just been sitting on my bookshelf im wondering what grade it would get all I know is with ghost rares they are super white and silver so scratches seem to pop-up out of nowhere for absolutely no reason could even be scratched by sliding against another card when being packed. I'll check it out when I get home I have a very bright light that can change colors and shades of color to hopefully inspect it very thoroughly. Only thing is I can't tell what that card is worth because websites might say oh its worth 150 dollars but when you click and read the description it's talkijg about an unlimited edition but showing a photo of a 1st edition. Then there's collectors selling it for thousands of dollars with psa graded of 5 to 7 I think I saw 1 that was an 8 or 9 going for 10k lol.

Very informative this video man! , I do have a question regarding the wax level on the back, base on your experience this is a key factor on the card?, I do have few cards especially from BPT tins that are flawless in edges, centering an everything, except that they have a certain amount of waxing on the backside. Greetings

Thanks for the very informative vid, one question though, why is it best to not touch the surface of the cards, to avoid finger prints right?

also, am a newbie to psa grading. What if I think that the card could've been scored higher? After receiving the PSA grade with the case, could I remove the case and send it in again? TIA!

What would you rather have, a BGS Black Label Lily or a PSA 10 Wavy Blue eyes?

So if a yugioh has 20+ micro scratchs on the back that cluster nearer to the bottom wud that knock it to an 8 or 9 in ur educated opinion? These scratches r very small and r barely on the surface. They can only be seen under a specific angle and amount of light. They r ever so slightly there.
