    Ace is going to grow massively over in the US. Them custom slab labels are then best selling point, they look amazing, and someone like Randy who’s grown the business from the love of collecting and playing makes it 100x more attractive than PSA who don’t give a shit how they treat / look after cards, as long as they’re getting money. Keep up the good work Randy!

I like how you weren’t like incessantly plugging ace or the channel only small drops here and there, great video all around, you said you felt bad offering 80% and you definitely seemed apprehensive when offering the price. That would make me unsure of a trade if I was selling you my card. Overall though great video

    Fantastic video. Honestly, I rate Ace as 80% value of PSA. I think this stands for all companies against the gold standard. However, Ace has blown the competition out of the water and I would say has solidified their position as the new “CGC” which may sound like an insult but it is a hell of an achievement with the such a short history in the game.

    Could you scroll over the cards a bit slower next time at the start? You have such beautiful cards but I was getting extreme motion sickness trying to see anything since it was so fast. Pausing just made the cards blurry. That was like such a minor, little critique/request and doesn’t take away from the video! I’ve been following you on your journey since you started this channel and it’s so awesome and wholesome to see how far you’ve come! Seeing you get a request to sign the binder at the start was so awesome! Keep crushing it bro! Ace all the way! ❤

Im hoping your effort will allow your colleagues to start accepting ACE at LCS. The grading is definitely tougher and more consistent than PSA. Long term ace will win. Regards Steve

    17:16 hopefully he gave you change because you said you would give him 750 but gave him 800.
    Those ace slabs are really nice, now that i keep seeing psa plain white boarder, it gets boring to just look at. Think about your favorite card in a white boarder on a shelf, now think of it in a color boarder that matches your favorite card, it would enhance the card. I wish more people offered a grading service on tiktok or any live stream, because they always offer psa but no other grading company because they value money. Maybe once in awhile give a streamer a chance to grade their cards with ACE or sponsor them. Sometimes they'll have a surprise graded pack that the live streamer sells, maybe give some slabs to their fans or communities that they can sell or something. Because most people and even streamers dont know what ace is or think its fake. Just keep pushing ace slabs. Once it becomes a real problem for the other companies, then psa or another grading company might buy those designs off ace.

I have learnt with doing business with Americans, they trust the British accent more than any other (apart from possibly Japanese because of their respect culture) and you have to lean into that. I'm very happy for you and Ace grading, taking the US by storm but again, as the brand and brand ambassador you have to work on this otherwise you could deter people from grading with you or buying from you. Other than that, I hope for your continued success brother!
