    Awesome video brother 💙 i totally feel what you’re saying when you’re speaking about Ace.. you guys really are changing the game at Ace! My collection is slowly shifting over to Ace. The quality of the slabs is the best on the market, the labels are awesome, the features online are brilliant. An improvement to the grading report would be amazing though, better descriptions of damage etc, but what a company!

    Hope this doesn’t come across as rude, just a curious question. If you strongly believe in your grading company have you cracked all your personal slabs and graded them from ace? If not that would be a great video idea

    Are the Japanese cards still being put in penny sleeves inside the ACE slabs? Got some cards graded with ACE and they have a penny sleeve inside the slab and it’s pretty loose so you end up with waves / folds in it which don’t look great.

    How did the Raikou get an 8? Is it just subjective? It isn't just a question for Ace. I know Beckett does similar. Why isn't the grade of the card the average of the subgrades? You add the grades up and divide by 4 and IMO it shows the card should be a 9 and not an 8.

    • @ThunderboltNick
      @ThunderboltNick 3 месяца назад

      Only certain Pokemon cards have a matching Ace label. They have a link on their website where you can look up cards and see if an Ace Label is available and you can request one if not (no guarantees on Pokemon) other TCGs you can submit cards and they will enter a queue for an Ace Label to be designed currently

      Ace holders are a slightly different size and far superior quality and thickness to a PSA holder. They don’t stack together with PSA.

  • @Notts_collector
    @Notts_collector 3 месяца назад +1

    How do the ACE soft scores actually work and influence the final grade then as the Celebi has a total of 29 from a possible score of 40 and got a 6 rather than the average being 7.25 so even if there are no part scores it should have at least been a 7? One of the earlier graded cards got a 5/6 as well with a bunch of 10's in the breakdown scores so should have been higher on averages? 🤔🤷

    • @TRNRBubble
      @TRNRBubble 3 месяца назад +2

      The score breakdown can only give one point higher than the lowest score since the total score is 5, 7, 7, 10 it can only go up one point to a 6 meaning the overall grade would be a 6.

    • @TRNRBubble
      @TRNRBubble 3 месяца назад

      So you could have a card with a 1, 10, 10, 10 and the highest score it could get would be a 2

    • @Notts_collector
      @Notts_collector 3 месяца назад +1

      ​@@TRNRBubble ok, but what I'm asking is whether that is the standard process across the board for all grading companies as its not mentioned like that anywhere on ACE's grading policy that I could see and isn't an average score which (to me anyway) would make the most sense when determining a grade based on multiple values of your own choosing. It's unlikely to get huge outliers like 1,10,10,10 like you mentioned purely because something that heavily effects one will inevitably effect some others to a degree 🤷👍
      (edit: not trying to be awkward, just new to grading and trying to get a clearer understanding 👍)

    • @ThunderboltNick
      @ThunderboltNick 3 месяца назад

      @@Notts_collectorquite a few companies have this policy when it comes to how subgrades work. And those that don’t show subgrades have ways to do this also. For example PSA find an impact mark and instantly take the grade to no more than 6. Some companies do if two subgrades match then that’s the score the card got.
      Whilst yes the average might make sense. It does mean that a card with an impact mark that scores a 6 on surface maxes out at a 7. But if it didn’t and the rest were 10 the card would get a 9. Can’t be having a card with one of the metrics hitting 6 score as high as a 9. Would make higher grades (8-9) far more obtainable and over populated as well.
