I spent $1,000 grading pokemon cards - was it worth it? 

Open mouth 😮😱🤯😲thumbnails are hard to find here lol

Jake, DPM, and Max are my top 3. All unique and entertaining content

unfortunately there isnt too much competition. that rev guy is a joke, literally have a dollar amount in every one of his titles. the guy only cares about money, terrible for the hobby. i feel the same about leon, not as bad a rev but its close.

An he doesn't do that stupid cover the grades thing when going over cards that Rev does....so annoying lol Jake is my favorite

@@MrTedMcForehead blame the algorithm

Agreed, good idea mate. Would love to see that also.

Yeah! I was just about to comment this! The raw ungraded card value should be deducted to see how much the grading added to the overall value

Also in general, how much did the cards cost when he bought them, + the grading, and then we see the actual ROAS of this. Now we see 1000$ grading fee against the graded value which is a great ROAS, but a lot of those cards were probably on the minus side thanks to grading costing 20 already and then the unnamed price of the card when he bought it.

Yes grading them will make them worth more than it being raw

I see what you mean but grading your cards adds so much more value than what it would cost raw. Even the ones that were only $40-$50 would only cost $5-$15 raw. I do like the idea but grading your cards will always add a significant amount more

Probably at least 10k in his case.

@@Pokeboxerbutsomeonestolemyname amazing maths

@@Rasukix haha

Pokemon Grading company only does Pokemon cards and merchandise. Their facilities use higher tech and I got my cards back from them within a month. ALL the other ones take months. I think I payed $50 for 20 cards to be graded, can't beat it. I think their channel is called Pokemongradingcompany

The design is very human...

Exactly what i was going to ask. I think thats one of the most important questions especially grading high value cards. For sure the biggest turnoff grading with PSA.

Nobody can figure it out

lol PSA would never swap out your cards for lower quality ones haha that makes no sense

Sometimes just gotta take the risk if you want to do it.. maybe start with a couple cards first

It is a valid worry, however, I highly doubt PSA would damage its brand and image by doing that. There may be individual bad actors that are employed by PSA that might do that, but fortunately, there is customer service for that and they will get on that employee's case. However, I suggest having proof of the original card (vids, pics, etc.)

Same here. Does PSA grade in real time in conventions, card shows, etc? I will pay a little more and I get a chance to see how the grading process up front.

Being concerned about damage is a legitimate concern. I've received a PSA 10 card that was damaged after going through the slab process because of the way the machine vibrates that they use to seal the slab. Take pictures of your cards before sending them off for peace of mind. I highly doubt Jake sent in that Rayquaza with chipping at the top of the front of the card; it would be obvious to anyone collector that sends their cards in for grading.

People only want to buy psa graded cards in the secondary market

@Keztrex obviously and psa cards usually have more value hence my point people usually only want psa cards when they are buying for their personal collection on the secondary market

Pull that trigger man. Look at the aweful centering on some of these PSA 10 cards. CGC 10 cards are TRULY perfect cards... CGC > PSA all day for me...

Ignore me. I just didn't wait long enough for you to say it in the video womp womp

It's not 4k profit. There's definitely a cost for the raw cards. And unless he sells it outside of Ebay 13% is taken away from auctioning on them.

@@Cloud-if6yb yes. I completely agree with you.

They had a special during the national card convention. Could submit at $18 for a few weeks. They’ll probably have another special so just wait until then. Have to be a collector member or something tho

@@steamingpanda2.177 I might just go CGC. PSA is getting weird and way too expensive for my taste. Plus I personally don't mind the harsher grading system at CGC. i do wish PSA wasn't so expensive. I remember paying $10 lol

They did not

if your card is off center printed itll get a 9, a 10 isn't in your control

Yes I think so

Majority of the time Ebay is going to be the go to for most cards, especially graded cards. Unless your area does card shows. Thatd be another option. Just my 2 sense, hope all goes well.

@@Dr_Dank710 Alright, thank you so much for your answer! :)

Probably the Flareon, Jolteon, Vaporeon alt VMAX promos if I had to pick

Yes because most modern cards are around the same condition as a 9 anyway
