    Lovely set. I have it, but have never graded it. Prefer it in a binder to be honest.

    You should try to make a binder for the graded cards. Nothing compares to flick through the pages of a binder

    The binder was actually the better way to display them. When you took them out and displayed them one by one, they were in worse lighting. You just wanted to use your fancy double camera setup and have post production work for it, let's be honest lol.

      Why wouldn't he? if I owned a company in that industry, that's the only place I'd trust to grade my cards. conflict of interest is meaningless because anyone that doesn't trust him wouldn't buy any of his cards anyway.
      I run my own tune on my car, is that a conflict of interest too? no, I just know that my tune is the best in my country

      @@Jman416 Yeah with all due respect to a new company like ACE, the PSA cards will be worth a bucket load more than ACE graded cards. You're paying for the prestige, the name, the reputation, the trust etc.. A £10k PSA card would probably fetch far less than half in an ACE grade.

      a lot of people would probably cover that difference to own a card that was owned by Randy. Forgive the glazing but imo an ace card that was sent to be graded by the actual founder of ace and a youtuber that I enjoy, that's worth a little more to me than a PSA 9 or even a generic PSA 10 if its not a crazy card like base set charizard and up

    Let's be real here, the only reason why PSA is still top dog is because of it's age. The slabs are shit and has a very cheap feeling. The grading there is questionable as well. "Collectors" only grade with PSA because of the monetary side of the hobby.
    CGC and ACE >>>> PSA
