Tested: STOP Sleeving Pokemon Cards Like This!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 янв 2022
- I'm scratching my Pokemon cards so you don't have to. We all know the holographic part of a Pokemon card can be pretty sensitive to scratches, but how easy is it really to do some damage? How careful do we actually have to be?
In this "for science" video, I put various theories to the test and we uncover the truth about ways that the holographic part of a card could be scratched. We start with real-life scenarios, and then take things to the extreme, and yes, we also test scratching in a CGC and PSA graded slab, if the slab were to be shaken.
Let's see if you can see what I see. What surprises you most about what we discover? Where do you think we should go from here? Some of the results may be up for discretion and may be debatable, so I'd love to hear your opinion. Let me know in the comments, and hit that LIKE and subscribe for more.

As always *FOR SCIENCE!* Check out the original SLAB SHAKER video: ruclips.net/video/hf1cjsoQRRs/видео.html
Hey what up pat
As always Pat you killed it! I think you should submit the cards you cracked out of the slabs to see if they grade the same after shaking them and how would fullarts or rainbows do in the slabs. Thanks for the insight and I always grab a card from the sides to pull out the sleeves to minimalize the damage or not unsleeve them if possible
Can't believe it's already been 8 months since that video!
Cool video...I think you should've tried sliding the cards on a table face up and down vs. Sliding them on a playmat
Im not triggered bro you gotta test to know
I'd personally like to see the same tests done on Japanese cards to see if they're more durable and less prone to scratching of the holofoil as from my personal experience they seem much better quality cards usually! Excellent video as always! :D
I agree! Just…maybe without breaking anymore slabs.
I'm sure that they'd be a lot more durable. I buy large "retirement" collections from japan regularly and have had cards which come together in a box without sleeves that have been left for many years grade 9.5 and even on one occasion a 10 with CGC.
When cards are heavily played as well it's very hard to cause any damage to the corner and edges but it does cause some minor scratching on the holofoil.
@@tienshin9999 Great infromation. I find Japanese 'glossy' non holo promos very hard to get mint raw though. Those are up there with English WoTC for me as cards to find truly mint.
Absolutely. My english crystal Nidoking randomly got whitening on the back inside a perfect fit and inside a binder. None of my japanese cards would get this sleeved the same way
@@Djsonley Yeah the scratches on glossy cards are much more apparent than their usual satin finish.
So after watching the video I can honestly say that this did not effect me as much as it would some collectors. Being a TCG player i am used to seeing more played cards than Mint cards. Seeing the degradation in real time was interesting though. All in all what surprised me most was that Froslass was not the victim
Hah! Great comment 😅
Lol indeed froslass was spared
I remember getting made fun of for collecting poke cards when I was 19. 8 years later and now everyone is collecting cards. The prices are outrages
It’s honestly infuriating. The same people who made fun of others that like Pokémon cards are now the ones buying them all up to resell or keep as bragging rights (like Logan Paul with sealed base sets and the Pikachu illustrator card). It kinda seems like this is happening to every ‘nerdy’ hobby that used to get genuine fans harassed
Same things been happening with sneakers the past few yrs too
@@spyroapplesauce I feel that. People would make fun of me in high school for watching anime, but now it’s mainstream and those same people act like they did nothing.
@@GodyP sneakers always been popular tho
@@magbs1941 so has Pokémon
Warning: many Chansey’s were sacrificed in the making of this video 😭😂
Great video though Pat, I had no idea even on the sleeves that damage can still be caused!
May have just saved a lot of people’s collections with this video ❤️
Chansay' s noooo
Breaking news: there is a Chansey murderer on the loose
there still good cards that can be used for the game
Someone just gained a bunch of experience
Bruh you could help people that are staring there collections
RIP Chansey... one of my favorite Evolutions holos.
This was a good vid, Pat. I think more people need to learn and realize just how sensitive and susceptible cards are to damage. I guarantee years down the road it'll be tough to find really clean Celebrations bulk because of the cards being all holo and people handling them poorly or at least less than ideally because it's "just bulk".
Would really enjoy seeing the steps for cleaning older cards that have been sitting in binders and have developed dust especially on the top of cards. Would love to learn the best / easiest process. Have an old sports collection to clean up
Maybe wash it the same way as dishes?
@@bbb_888 yes just put them in the dishwasher it works perfectly
I buy binders with zips so they can be closed and keep the dust out. Best way to do it
Toss it in the laundry, but ONLY ON WHITES. I tossed some of my Base set collection in with my colors load and my red shorts bleed right through my 1st ed Chansey SMH.
@@BobCCLIV Mai step brother accidentally left his Chansey in his pocket back in ‘99 when it went through the wash and surprisingly the front didn’t look to bad but the back was absolutely AWFUL. Like all scrunched up and sooo much whitening like almost bo blue left on the back 😢
I have tested on both Japanese and English Celebration set holo cards, it seems like the Japanese Holos are more scratch resistant than the english one. Only slight pressure on the card will damage the english holo when you put the card in and out of the sleeve.
2:17 the holo bleed on this card is very much real, always loved that about Evolutions.
This video has definitely given me so much more paranoia regarding my cards. I have them all sleeved up and in a semi rigid, but i have them all stacked on top of each other so i really hope they aren’t getting damaged like that. Great video pat!
Thanks for the formative video, I love collecting the cards because of the artwork and I love that each card has a story to tell. I love the different art styles from many different artists. 😊🥰
Great research all around. One thing I'd like to see tested is the use of "perfect fit" sleeves and if they cause Holo scratches/edge wear. Also, the combination of perfect fit sleeves and one-touch magnetic cases. These are becoming popular with the backlog at grading companies persisting. This way collectors can still get a similar experience of a card in a slab but not wait a year/pay an arm and a leg.
i use kmc perfects and then ultra pro over that
then store in a 12 slot bcw folio zip binder
(ringless)
agree, 'perfect fit' is not perfect for cards
@@Fox_Mccloud11 But if you use perfect fit sleeves is because you are putting them into a binder or some other place, not for being removed constantly...
@@matiasdellea444it still bends the cards long term. regardless of whether you pull them out, it’s not ideal
Thank you for doing this! Hopefully everyone watches and pays attention! I cringe constantly as I watch tons people improperly handle cards. People truly dont realize how delicate cards are! Amazing information for all! Thanks again Pat!!!
I wonder if different holo patterns have different scratchability. The Sword and Shield holo patterns seem to get less scuffed than the more “smooth” holo
Yes there are differences!
Some holo cards have more of a rough surface and they scratch SUPER easily!!!! Best example I could think of are the first EX cards such as mewtwo ex. They have a very rough surface that seemlingly collects scratches just by breathing on them... Its not just the EX cards, but also all of their reverse holo cards from that set.
So its not about the holo pattern itself, but the general surface and the way these cards were printed. You can usually tell by gently touching the cards to understand what I mean. Some feel almost "sticky" and get scratched WAY easier than smoother ones. I think they fixed this issue and only certain sets were affected by this issue btw.
What about my full arts 😭😭😭😭
This was a great video. Really enjoyed watching. Thought the slabs would do more damage, but I think it did scuff a little, which is not good lol. Thank you for sharing.
Nice experimentation as always. This just reinforces my choice of CGC over PSA. And makes me want to be extra careful in handling my cards.
This tells me I should be even more careful with original Pokémon cards
I think the scratches you got on the plastic from shaking the cards was from you holding your finger in the exact spot while it was going. To me it’s the only thing that made sense.
As a perfectionist OCD card preserver, I really appreciated the information presented here while also hating every second of this 😅
You’re welcome, and I’m sorry 🤣
I saw this and hope this isnt on new gen holo style alt art cards. Would love to see a vid on the subject of that era@deeppocketmonster
I saw your gifts that you gave to Poke Rev on his channel. That was about a month ago quickly came over to your channel just to check you out and I wasn't impressed but I also didn't give your channel a real chance. Have to admit I subscribed after giving you a chance. I'm a tough sell love your content man. The fact that you come off as super genuine doesn't hurt at all either
I've always wanted to know what causes card scratching, so I'm SO glad you made this video for us! This really helps break down what's actually harmful and what's not, so I know how careful I need to be in the future.
Thank god you did this for us all. Very informative and a good reason to even be more careful with those precious shiny cardboards!
Awesome video Pat! I was surprised with the sleeve test, but more so with the card slide test. We all do that when opening packs, sliding them across each other for dramatic effect lol. Maybe not the best idea huh 🤔
Great info ty so much!
Bless ye for doing this science experiment! Also top notch editing and shots. This is a difficult subject to capture on camera. Awesome stuff!!
I would personally get the 2 re tested and see if they come back with the same or different grades
that doesn't necessarily prove that scratches made a difference.
🤣 scratches are one of the criteria that determine a grade. @@Ensource
This is gonna make me never gonna take out my card out of my sleeves LOL
Thanks for answering the questions i have had for years now.
Nice video, I am definitely going to be super careful when handling cards, even in sleeves, especially if sliding them in or out. I do keep them in those perfect-fit sleeves, so hopefully the cards won't be shuffling at all inside.
Poor Chanseys... they had no chance at all! At least Froslass is getting a bit of a break today.
I cant get enough of your science experiments, please make more! I also wanna know how much a card can be damaged while its inside a pack?
I LOVE these videos!!! Keep up the GREAT work Pat!!! You rock!!!😎👍✌️
I was always paranoid when I would buy multiple singles and the seller would stuff 3 or 4 into a single penny sleeve. This just justifies my paranoia. Don't be lazy! Use one penny sleeve per card!!!
I use the perfect fit sleeves and then put them in a ultra pro binder, you know the ones with the black page that opens on the sides, so they don't rattle around as much, but I'm usually very careful and gentle, so this hasn't happened to me, but I'll keep this in mind!
I love your content and especially the editing :)
i love these videos when you make them! great content my man
I have such a love-hate relationship with this video.
Per always, great video!
I had a mini heart attack when you said you were going to scratch the Charizard 😭
Great video! I’d love for you to test gloves (latex, cloth, vinyl etc ) vs just hands when opening cards. Is one the best for preserving your cards? (Preventing oils, increase chance of scratching, increase risk of dropping, leaving other residue etc).
Love these types of videos! I've scratched a few holos from holding my index finger and thumb on the sleeve while I pushed the card from the bottom to pop it out of the top of the sleeve.. glad I realized early on that it was so easy to scratch them.
Love ur vids ur awesome and always wanted to get some packs from u but it’s all good cuz watching u is just a treat
this whole grading thing is a scam anyways
I don’t have a ton of notifications enabled on my phone. But one of the ones I do have enabled is to alert me when a new vid drops from Deep Pocket Monster!!!
Another home run Pat! Love it!
Ur a goat too 🙌
Thanks Danny! I appreciate it and you my friend!
Yea same you, Nate and Pat are the only notifications i still have on from last year.
Great information on this Pat i have always wonder myself about this especially the sleeves 😀. Great video
Could we please get a part 2 that takes things like card savers and top loaders into account? Loving content keep up the good work 😀 😃
I guess for the touch test, can the oils simply be wiped off? A lot of people recommend wiping oils off with a microfiber cloth… could that scratch the card too, though?
that's a good one! Or with a moist q-tip, which a lot of people recommend but I think is a bit sus too.
Yes it can no mater how careful u are it can scratch
A quality microfiber will not scratch a card. The card will actually harm the towel more since it has the greater surface tension. Sebum oil(body oil) will degrade anything that is paper and ink with time. That's why high end art is handled with super soft cotton gloves.
i feel like holos like Chansey from evo r really prone to scratching because the background and lighter background . isnt it a very hard 10 to grade from evo as well? would be cool to see different type of holos from different eras to see if some r more durable than others like the textured cards , v/s, vmax etc. great video love the work!
Wow a question answered that i didnt even know i had. Thank you for this.
A question i do have is are the sleeves from etbs safe for longterm? Or is clear penny sleeves the move for longterm?
Keep up your awesome content buddy, You have a cool personality and keep it fun 🤙
Crazy how when we were kids, adults would yell at us "don't touch that!" And now we're doing it to ourselves. Don't handle these children toys or actually use them for their intended purpose. Yikes.
Hey this is very similar to the idea I’ve been commenting a few times on your past few videos hoping you’d notice! You’ll see some people open packs ever so carefully, then some people who open packs regularly just power through opening packs with what looks like little care, so I was wondering if you could make a video finding out if it’s really possible to damage a card opening it quickly/carelessly. Not sure if you saw my previous comments but awesome video!
You and several other have asked the same kind of thing. Happy to take one for the team to bring a little bit more clarification!
@@deeppocketmonster No worries at all! Awesome video as always man, have a good weekend!
I’m SOOOO careful most of the time opening my packs but sometimes I power through them so I am actually kinda wondering the same thing
@@deeppocketmonster I don't want to go too overboard but one other idea would be to reseal a holo in a booster pack and shake it around to see if it takes damage inside the booster pack.
you definitely can ruin them, corner bends and dings are possible from being rough while opening packs (speaking from personal experience)
Can I just say your editing has improved drastically!
Great video - both entertaining and a niche I wish was explored more. The foil damage with a soft sleeve was most surprising. My pet hate is sleeving cards and feeling the corner nick. I sometimes even put my finger inside a new sleeve and press my nail into the top corners to open it more before putting cards in. Regular sleeves rather than soft sleeves pose the most risk, although corners can catch with soft sleeves as well. It would be great to see you formulate the correct method to sleeve a card to prevent damage!
This is why I'm always so careful when opening packs and putting them in sleeves lol
You should get them re graded by PSA as well as CGC respectively with the cards you pulled and see if their grade changes or is the same when you get them back
Very interesting and informative video. Love how much work you put into this. You've got a new sub 😉👍
Thanks! I appreciate you!
Honestly, this video was awesome, think you so much for taking the time to make videos like this so people like me and others can watch this as well, overall, I think that all your videos are like 10/10 no problem and also I love in another video that you did you said BAD BINDER BEHAVIOR that was so funny, and it made sense because it was BAD BINDER BEHAVIOR 😂
I wish I could share pictures of my cards from when I was a kid 😬 so many scratches. We didn't know how to riffle shuffle and sleeves...🙄 yeah 😂. We would just swirl our cards around the table to mix them up 😂
I also tend to play mtg with decks unsleeved 🙄
Sir ur a savage
@@josepalacios5924 I pulled charizard allot. I remember trading one for a blastoise and traded one to a kid for his offspring cd cuz my dad took mine away. No regrets 😂
@@GoatHeadTed hahah wow
You forgot the most important test. Putting the card in the plastic sleeve & placing it inside a top loader. Sleeve needs to be put through pressure as the top loader is tapped multiple times on the desk to send the sleeve down further does it damage the Holo portion?
I was hoping he would cover that too, I’m always nervous about using those things
Bro thank you for doing this. It is helpful and appreciated 🙏🏼
Learned a lot about cards preservation in this video. Great man!
2:16. Love that holo bleed on that Chansey. I have a magnaton and a Clefairy with some heavy Holo bleed, and my Charizard from evolutions has some light Holo bleed.
I love science, but my soul hurts after this experiment. Thank you for taking one for the team Pat.
Haven’t watched the video yet but since you said that, I’m scared
I am pretty new to this channel. I haven't seen anyone else doing videos like this experimenting with Poke cards. I really liked it.
Thanks for the info, this makes so much sense. Some big does en don't when handling cards
ive been curious about the sleeves that come in etbs. i normally put the lower end stuff i get in those like modern holos but ive always been a little skeptical of them damaging the cards
The silver lining is known to over time end up transferring to the back of the cards. I've had this happen myself so I tend to avoid them if I can help it.
your videos are so good, you answer question that half the people didnt know they wanted answer.
Even in sports card, i see people do a "Fast reveal", can't imagine the smaller abrasion thats occuring..
thanks
What I basically got from the video is any form of "contact" to card surface and "movement" is the biggest enemy of holofoil surfaces lol. Your a good man Mr Deep pocket
This is exactly why i’ll never buy ungraded cards online, thank you deep pocket monster for these finds! Science!
After PSA being exposed so much lately I feel safer just buying singles. Just look at reviews
@@TrEverEvoy scam city. Most these grading services don’t even know fakes from real
Watching people wear gloves while opening pokemon cards will never not make a 20+ year collector cringe
🤣🤣🤣
Opening, yes. But shall we do that during touching a card outside of an opening? I guess not.
Thank you for doing a video like this! I am always careful when handling my cards, but I do move them around quite a bit in the 9--slot binder sleeves! The holos I put in a soft sleeve and put a plastic sticky tab on the back to pull it out of whatever I put it in, but I didn't realize it could still be scratched from the soft sleeve!
My god, I love your experiments, but it's going to be hard to watch lol.
You truly are a mad scientist x)
This is the video we all needed and we appreciate your sacrifice Chansey!
Thanks for this video. I've been stuck on putting cards valued over 100 or close to it into one of the hard cases and have felt their best in a soft case in my binder but may as well use the hard sleeves 😅
New on this chanel. Subbed, not for content but your audio is dope
Man pat is just one uping himself every video! This year is gunna be 🔥🔥 These are the kind of things I’ve always wondered myself!! Thank you sir! Always testing your cards to show everyone else what NOT to do!
Thanks so much! 🙏🏼
For science!!! Poor chansey’s 😂 great video pat I love your informative series 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Pat out here doing the research again 🙌🏻
Great video
This is why you're THAT GUY pat! SUUUUUPER INFORMATIVE VID! thanks for scratching your cards so we don't have to, but this video has inspired me to run my own tests! SNORLAX TESTS🧐🤓 you don't wanna get rattled😂🤣😂 your vids like this let me know that you are a different breed of poketuber. Each of your vids like this raise the standard on what I feel I must do in my vids. It's odd to think that I've been at this for almost a year and only recently feel like I've started actually learning. Thank you for these bro! You are my Yoda. My miyagi. I'm glad you exist in the pokemon community! Keep em coming, I'm ready to learn more from you and have more ideas get sparked from what you do!
I love these science videos! Keep it up!
Legos and Pokemon cards!
Man takes me back to my childhood.
Love your for science videos thank you
Love this! I’ve always been curious if I’m being over protective. Perfect fit, regular sleeve, and top loader for every raw card I own. I handle everything like a museum artifact with exam gloves, but I’ve had suspicions about the pressure on the surface, but still a bit suspicious about top loaders. Luckily I haven’t damaged anything important, but always looking for better storage methods!
Looking to get back into card collecting this was very informative
Great video. I am interested in more sleeve testing. I'm always feel that I'm super careful when handling cards and putting them in sleeves but there are always some that get scratched. When I put the cards into sleeves, I always slightly squeeze the sides the sleeve to make sure that the holo doesn't actually rub against the contact the lip of the sleeve or the inner surface. Also, I feel that not all holos are the same- light colored holos vs holos on darker backgrounds, Japanese vs English holos, and English holos from WOTC era vs. modern.
Awesome Video as Always DPM!!!
Oohh love these videos. So interesting to see how delicate cards are.
Damn man this is crazy, I love the video mate and thank you this is very interesting and I’ll be more careful with my cards now
Your editing is good. It adds alot of decent content
Great experiment 🔬thanks for doing the science for all of us!
Y man, i mention that too... I ve seen scars on some of my cards, that never had any after sometime and i was wondering how did that happen... Btw, what will you do with them Chanseys? :D
Nice video. Can you test how much pressure you can use when wiping with if a microfiber cloth? This is something I do in order to clean the cards of dust or finger prints but now I'm worried.
Lowkey always thought about this and this just confirmed it - better off buying magnetic card holders IMO especially now that PSA doesn’t even know the differences between real or fake… I love psa slabs don’t get me wrong but they shake so easy. Pro Mold has great magnetic slabs I actually did a video on them recently and pulled a charizard in the same video! Ahh I digress great video!! I appreciate you ! I just subbed
Awesome to know this information! Thank you!
Nice Video Man! 👍 🔥
I'd like to see a video of you letting us know what we can do to protect the cards from these everyday mistakes. Do I wear gloves to open the pack? Open it a certain way? Hoe to get it in the sleeve with the least possible damage etc etc. Thank you for the educational video though. You got a new subscriber :)
Love the science videos Pat! Definitely made my cry a bit lol, but I'm a man of science. Great info, made me rethink how I handle my cards.... even bulk 😅
Random comment, where did you get your phone mount? I like the look of that one!
Thanks for doing what I’ve always wondered.
For Science!!!! Love these videos Pat.
Nice video thanks! Could you do a test of graded cards falling?
Informative video. I just started collecting pokemon cards and I'm certain I manhandled the foil cards in a similar manner already.
"The slide will make you cry, but the lift is the gift"
Lmao dude. I'm subbing just because of that 1 line
This is why Im always careful buying singles online! Thank you for doing this! Love all your science projects! 🤙🏻
Science yay! Love it great video pat
