Loved the tour experience, thanks for hooking us up with the info. Time will tell if they'll work out. Their slabs and labels look nice and clean and the AI should get better over time.
I sent out a card to get graded. I previously had it graded by PSA and they gave it a 10 gem mint. AGS graded it a 9.5 which I like. It was pretty close but a little more strict than a human. Although this is a newer company, I'ma go with them instead of PSA. I hope they do upgrade their labels but I trust their grading more than a human.
People have tested their grading. It’s just as inconsistent as people. Another hobby scam. You have humans operating the machine. It’s not fully AI. They’re already facing backlash, but they turn off their comments on their IG. Their ads are very misleading. They use “celebrities” to con people into using them.
@@ethantinnin4713 bro, show up to a card shop with AGS slabs…you aren’t going to make a sale. PSA & BGS are the way to go for businesses. If you want to profit don’t grade with AGS.
@@anonymousamerican4580 And this is the problem, because PSA and BGS are slipping with their grades hard... and I trust a computer that can scan to a level and analyse a card WAY better than any human eye ever could. PSA/BGS also have a huge turn around time and outrageous pricing. I have no fucking idea how they hold the most "value" in this space when their grading standards have different variables on a day to day basis.. Their reputation is held together with the word of youtubers who grade thousands of cards a year (Bias detected) and the market follows suit.
@@Jacob-ug1mp I just got my BGS submission back…you must live under a rock. These companies cleared their back logs earlier this year and have no since opened up their lower levels of service again. I pay $35 per card at BGS and get it back in 30-35 days. Every business has its flaws, but AGS is just at fault as any other grading company
Real like AGS cases, quality feel. Agree with grading scale from a sample of 20 mixed era and texture cards.. looking forward to more collectors giving them a shot.
I sent my optic rated rookie trevor lawrence on card auto blue in and got it back to day with a AGS 9.5, im very happy with how they do it and having the scans to see what is actually wrong my card, and how it got the grade.
I've had many cards graded with AGS. Only complaints are the amount of bugs on the front-end with their website. Images of the scan wouldn't load for all of mine, and their website would give me a gateway timeout from time to time. I also don't like the fact that they won't show you your grades until shipment. They should be available after payment, but before they ship them out. But the quick responses from support and the issues being resolved shows good signs.
I Love the idea of this AI grading system. Its very malicious and unbias due to the computer scans. The only thing I don't like is how the company is connected to Collect Coin crypto. The reputation of the owners is not good at all. Do the research because if they go under, there will be many slabs cracked open. The positive is the software and AI is unbiased and 100% love it. The sofware see the card in its entirety. What I hope is that PSA and CGC or Beckett purchase the software out and use this way of grading system.
Cool how they use air to grads but the stabbing process could be better because the employee had to tap on the slab to get the card in place which could potentially damage the card so the add where they have a guy saying the grade will be the same even if he re-submits the card is actually hard to believe
What job role did the lady and guy that explained the grading via heatmap and the segmented machine learning looking at scratching? As a student in ML I like what I'm hearing
I don't see a perfect 10 ever coming out of a computer scanned card. Nothing is perfect and to have something micro analyze every part of it will surely find flaws in everything.
That’s why they use AI and not just a non learning program. Because it learns acceptable limitations since grading can’t be just black and white. Especially since other grading services have human error. They would have a hard time marketing if a 10 was completely impossible
Looking through the comments, people gotta look more into this lol. Its not that expensive and its a good turnaround time if you ship it to them. I see the pros and cons though for both sellers and collectors. As a collector I'd want what would be considered the "perfect" card. But for selling, its a risk because grading through them, they could give you a lower grade and lower the value where PSA holds nearly/more value because of the name and more chance for a better grade. It is slightly cheaper ($10) for them vs PSA and faster turnaround times but I'm still not fully convinced in it, but I think with time this could be better!
As awesome as this sounds, robot grading needs a lot of trial and error. The software needs to be specifically tailored towards specific cards and even sets.
Call me crazy , but if these companies could improve the way the slabs look , better labels, something that pops , people would be more inclined to grade with them.
I have an issue with AGS. Sent off 32 cards "20day turn around" had really high hopes for good quality control, but when I received my order every card had a defective label. So I contacted them to see if I could get my money back they told me no. So I sent them back to get re-slabbed and fixed with new labels. It took an extraordinary long amount of time 3 months go by after returning them. I opened up my order same issue with the labels on some of the cards. So I don't remember using this company for grading. They messed up my order 2 time. Now I'm going to send them off and get re-slabbed with another company. Quality control for AGS is no good.
What kind of wizard of Oz shit was that? No trust us the mighty AI Oz is in the back grading your card. No - no need to look behind the curtain, trust us Oz is grading your card not just a bunch of guys in a back room!
@@gymtrainerjake I am in Canada and I have never had a card graded, too much of a pain in the ass - Why during the whole video could they not scan your card and the grades pop up - It has to be done in the back room? Or did I miss something?
@@MrChonkachu OK but what about a video where we see everything from start to finish? I might have missed it but you were there when all was said and done and they hit the button and your grades popped up in front of you. Or do they just show you the scans and then come back a little later with the card saying it all checked out in the back room and here are the grades?
@@robertcopeland2946 it’s a quality assurance review. I personally don’t expect the process to be 100% documented. They would have to charge way more than they currently do for that level of service.
In my mind 35 years of collecting only 2 companies matter bgs and psa everything else is at least 35 less in value just a promotion to soup up the submitting
