I sent in an mad auto /5 wwe card, I sent it in mint conditon and PSA grades it a six with chipped edges. Not exactly a good example for the grading process.
There was nothing wrong with that Lugia and some of the other cards. See, PSA wants your business. But they don't want you making bank. For example, I sent out 45 cards which cost $700. The cards raw vs psa 10 prices are $1400 Raw & $6000 PSA 10. I've noticed PSA will throw in 10's that should be 9's or 8's, and 9's on cards that look better than 10's. Everything is based on how much you spend vs overall total cost of raw & psa 10 cards.. Example, modern cards. If u send 45 modern freshly packed cards in, odds are at least 50% will grade 10. But which ones? U spend 700 to grade the cards. Then add in the raw prices. Say 1250. Then PSA will at least give u grades to meet raw, + $15 fee prices to keep u coming back. And u could still profit with the more 10's they give u. But have u noticed cards that are worth 10-20x more in a 10 are harder to come by? That's bc PSA controls how many 10's are given to certain cards, regardless of actual condition. Can't wait to prove this in my psa video next month! I had 2 pro graders pre screen all 45 cards. Some are clear 8's, 9's, and 10's. 8's and 9's were intentionally thrown in just to see if PSA takes the bait and gives them a 10 bc their value is low. Anyway, this kind of inconsistent bs is what we have to deal with until we the ppl stand up and fight them or just shrug and say fuck it.
@@pokemonstatcg yeah! It’s the least they should do tbh! I’ve put in a request… you get 5 days from when you receive your parcel to do it… proper scum move by them
Thanks for sharing btw I'm not sure if you notice afterwards but with the 2 cards Latios gold star and Charizard CD promo from what it seems from the video the visible signs of minor nicks, you can kind of see it at 3:39 (bottom right) and 15:47 (top right) respectively. Though it could be nothing hard to see but yeah I thought you might want to give another look before you send it off and be disappointed again.
@@hau-seek yeah I’m probably gonna just keep them as is! The latios is clean so idc about the grade I’m gonna just look to collect the rest of the gold stars but super clean copies if it’s a 7/8 but it’s really nice, holo clean and barely any whitening but had a non noticeable mark somewhere in the corner idc now ahaha!
Lol People saying ACE more trustworthy.... That's not the point. ACE is worth NO MORE near as much as PSA values. That's why he doesn't send to "ACE". lol
Hey man, Soild return, i did see the issue with the PSA8 CD Promo Zard, there is a bend dent on the back, top right hand corner, you can see it between 16:00-16:01 when the light hits it.
Hey dude! Thanks, great eye! But I have looked at that as I thought so also but it must be something with the light and the case or something as it isn't on the card at all, it's strange but I did notice the bottom right front has a tiny bit of damage to it which probs gave it the 8 also, the only issue is... if it was like that before I sent it off... 😐
Another clear example of selective grading. 10s that should be 9s and 9s that should be 10s. Pop control at its finest. Good return and buzzing for you mate, some screamers in there. But wouldn't touch any grading company with a barge pole anymore. Clearly 10 seconds spent per card... If that
@@scottmitchell1992 I agree 💪 gradings just a monopoly on the card hobby and none of them grade subjectively 🙃 they’re too focused on the secondary market which they shouldn’t even be a part of…
PSA DAMAGED MY CARDS 🚨🚨🚨🚩🚩🚩 Wtf? I sended 6 cards to grade on PSA. 3 was 10 and 2x9 and 1x8 and this cards with lower grade all have same damage in same place wtf? On the photos is 3 diffrent card backs... they was sended all together so its impossible it happend while delivery, they was all together then should be damaged all or no one....

@@GrimmRipper88 👏👏👏 couldn’t agree more 🤝
I had similar damage on same corner in my last two subs. Nothing as significant as that, but like 30 cards with small white dots on the same corner

Yeah man! Literally, I was telling everyone and gave them a chance haha. Now it's mine to enjoy
Who do you send your cards off for grading in the UK? Is it a middle man service that sends them to PSA in the US?
I send them myself! :)
I still need that clefairy!

I prefer raw cards over graded. Think these grading companies are a scam tbh but I’m probably the only one.

They don't hold the same value as psa though
I think someone swapped it, not damaged. I believe I was subject of this with a pricey card.
You should try ACE grading bro! Run by a guy called Randolph he is a legend!
Yeah, if you want to lose value and make it harder to sell.
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
