    Hi Jake, I am a new collector. Can I buy raw cards from TCGPlayer and eBay that can be graded as a 10? I suspect that I am getting the left over cards that the sellers don't think it is a 10. Or am I being too cynical? Keep up the great work. Subscribed.

      Hey Van - first off, thanks for watching and subbing!
      This is a great question, and I’m glad you asked it. I RARELY buy cards on tcgplayer and I have to say my overall experience hasn’t been great. I pretty much never want to buy cards if I don’t have well lit photos of the cards. The only time I’ve done it on tcgplayer is with really cheap cards that are < $10; that way if you take the risk you’re not out hundreds of dollars on high end cards. The ugly truth is that it’s good to be cynical in this hobby, especially when the hobby is booming and a lot of bad actors come into the hobby with ill intentions. That being said, don’t let the cynical side of you consume you. There’s lots of great sellers that are honest so always keep that in mind. All that in mind, if buying in person at local card shops/ card shows isn’t feasible, I would stick to eBay where you can request additional pictures from sellers. Some may say no, some may get annoyed, but there’s a lot of people that will happily help you. I hope that answers your question!

      ​@@Johto-JakeThank you for your thorough reply! Much appreciated! Overall, I have better experiences with eBay sellers as I can at least check out the pictures. With TCGPlayer, it is more of a crapshoot with often no pictures. I am inspired by your binder and in the process of collecting the Brilliant Stars Trainer Gallery. Please keep up with your videos!

    A couple months ago, I really wanted to buy a few paldean fates gardevoir SIR's cause I knew it was criminally underrated and would go up (unfortunately I'm like broke rn lol). Sure enough, it seems to be skyrocketing

    Will find out soon. Sent in two Raichu #211 cards that are really minty. I think one might get a 9 unfortunately but it could maybe get a 10 and then there’s one that I’m almost certain should get a 10

    • @Johto-Jake
      @Johto-Jake  12 дней назад

      That’s a fantastic card to do this with. I recently picked that up in a 10. Keep me posted on how it turns out once you get your grades back. Wishing you good luck 🤘I hope you get multiple 10s!

    Omg..let me get 6 cards and pray they get all grade 10...and 151 at that that is hard to grade..haha

    • @Johto-Jake
      @Johto-Jake  12 дней назад

      This is just one example and 151 singles are not the only cards you can do this with! Think outside the box, there’s always opportunities when all eyes are following the hype of whatever it is that’s popular or being talked about. As far as grading goes it’s educated gambling, the more you grade the more you learn what to look out for. Once you build confidence and become more knowledgeable about grading your risks are reduced and your gem rates increase. Thanks for watching 🤘

      @ with all due respect that is amateur thinking. That Moonbreon is gonna be worth exactly zero dollars in the next one to 200 years. See I’m thinking long-term. That’s why I’m trading all of them for every copy of Quaxly there is. Then in one century I’m strutting down Gold Street baby.
