For those who haven't used Ludkins or never heard of Charlie, they are amazing. I currently have nearly 100 cards out now in small waves, and plan to send about another 150 in the next month. They communicate, offer great prices, pre--grade, and make sure your cards are protected. They even provide card savers when PSA requires them. Much easier and safer than sending directly to PSA if you don't have a membership. I would love if they worked with BGS as well for those amazing pristine cards, but to offer both CGC and PSA services shows that they care about the player when it comes to grading cards.

Awesome content! The audio is what’s important and great topic to hear about regardless of video quality

Duddddeeeee! You finally did it! It's like Christmas came early! This is officially my favorite channel now, thanks for really taking the time to be a real cool voice for the community.

Thank you so much for making this video! I had no idea about Ludkins and I’m going to use them now for all my grading. This video was really informational coming from 2 card experts! :D

Love all the videos dude. You are always giving solid info that is greatly appreciated

I always enjoy the videos. I find them to be very imformative and this one covers a topic I have wondered about for a while

Thanks for this vlog Danny I have always had questions about sending my cards to grade. This really helped me alot

This was a great video. Really enjoying the channel Danny!

quality of the video doesnt matter when the info is this great👏🏼👏🏼

Love your content man! Awesome perspective for the poké entrepreneurs out there. Thank you for what you do!!

Love the videos man, super informational and a great tool for new investors and collectors. Keep it up man!

Me working 1 to midnight and getting home at 1am: oh snap a new video. Great content dude

Keep putting vids up and ill keep watching. Love this channel

Great video with a lot of useful information! Love it!

Charlie is a great guy and was very easy to work with when I submitted some cards through Ludkins

Thank you so much for this video Danny! I will definitely be contacting them!

I am 100% going to be using Ludkins when I start grading my cards, in the next few weeks. Thank you for this video

Congrats on 15k!

Great stuff man! 🎉💯🔥

Thank you! I’ve been looking into this

Love Ludkins!! They are great and very informative.

I've been waiting for this video!

Man your videos are THE SHIT, you hit us with this unknown areas of Pokemon cards, keep em coming!!!!!

I would love a short podcast with the people you work with in the industry just for topics based on the comments

Charlie is the man!

about to send my cards out to Charlie! excited!

yes i need this im about to send cards to grade thanks for the educational info

I take a lot of issue saying "It doesn't matter if there is 10,000 psa 10 zards", I would say yea, supply does matter. I get he is saying the wanting of the card doesn't change but the equally important price does and we are talking about investments here.

Amazing info from that gentleman

Amazing info im definitely gonna look into ludkins service!

I will be spending out a package to them this weekend. I love to support a smaller service who also do PSA

small tip for people who do skype interview get the person your interviewing to also record them selves with a different software if you can (like obs) and just send you the footage after so you can both look very crisp /no lag when put on youtube but maybe you already figured this out by now. Great content on your channel btw.

Great information

I can’t wait to send in some cards for grading! I started the form on PSA yesterday, but it looks like the lowest service available right now is regular which is $50 per card!

I just happened to get a membership and I will send for the first time ever, I will send my pokemon cards to be graded, I am so ready to see my cards on slabs for the first time and to know for sure the quality of my cards is going to be great, I am sending some cards that I am planning to sell too, I like the idea that the company is in the same state that I am, maybe one day I will stop by, anyways, great video!

Just got my booster box from ya. Cheers from Australia.

Definitely want to hear more about grading the modern Charizard EX, GX and V cards. I know it wasn’t traditional in the past to get EX/GX cards graded. Is sending two Hidden Fates shiny Charizards worth it? What about Charizard SM60. Or the Charizard Braixen tag teams?

Great content

i wouldn't say grading always pays for itself. for example, i have cards that have no demand in the graded world (base set japanese commons like arcanine) that no one wants to purchase graded based on ebay sales data. it'd probably be a negative to grade them since they wouldnt sell.

I'm currently going through ludkins. There is a huge wait time due to PSA

Should we grade our promo etb charizard or keep them in the packaging? Would sealed or graded be worth more down the line

Thank you for sharing your Pokémon knowledge! 👍

I got a blue eyes white dragon 1st edition LOB, no scratches or nicks, however it has a small light stain on the back. Should i clean it? or just send it in and get a 8-9 psa? I have so many cards that need cleaned, but i do not want to scratch them, so im kinda afraid to try and clean a mint 20 year old collectible

30k subs by the end of the year, I’m calling it man!

For me who'd just gotten back into the hobby, this was a very relevant video. Thank you! But for us outside the U.S., I currently live in asia, is there also a middleman agency like ludkins that you can recommend? Tnx

Do you think the break cards will be worth anything in the future? Right now they’re less than a dollar but they’re really beautiful cards

I just have a question regarding collecting and being a business. Do you own a private collection and if so how do you balance that with your job. I would like to keep my collection and keep adding onto it; but I would also like to make it into a business. Any insight would help thank you so much love your content.

Have you done a video about how to spot a fake card to protect yourself from scams?

Great video! Anyone have a comparison on Ludkins vs ZandG's GradedGem service?

Any thoughts on grading packs? I have a lot of 1st ed WOTC I want to grade but really hate how they fold the packs!

On the hunt for a Champions path trainer box

I've always wondered why there is a final charge to get your cards back from PSA if over a certain declared value? We're already paying for the service for the cards to be graded then get hit with this unfair fee if it receives a 10 in a lot of cases I mean if you get antiques appraised by a professional you'll pay him/ her for that service. If what you get valued is expensive, he'd have no right to demand 10% on top of what you paid him Robbery imo. And if it is for insurance reasons, it should be completely optional for the customer

So what tier should I use for a shadowless charizard

Quick question are those shining legends boxes behind you for sale??

probably a dumb question but where it says not for items over $249. is that price for the card after its graded or before it graded? because a psa 9 might only be worth 200 but the 10 could be worth 800. sorry if its a dumb question but thanks for your time

🔥🔥🔥

Hey Danny! Late up load

Let me be your IT man

Wait, back up. did he just say his bulk turn around times is 6 weeks?

how is ludkin different from graded gem

What are your thoughts on the PSA wait times right now? We have about 30 cards we want to grade and possibly sell. Is it worth waiting months and months for PSA, or would it be better to use a different grading service like Beckett or SCG?

If my card is PSA 10 but the case is a bit scratched up. Is it possible to send it in so that they can replace the case without trying to re-grade? The card is in great shape but I don't want to take the chance and somehow end up with PSA 9

Hey man, great content! Would love to work for you and help you out.

Hi Danny

I have 115 at CGC right now :)

Also danny sent you a dm on twitter when you get a chance if you could read it 👍 thank you

@Danny Phantump Do you still think Champions Path ETB's are a good investment even though more product is coming in Jan and it looks like Hidden Fates ETB's are being reprinted for release around Jan as well. PLEASE RESPOND TO ME ASAP, I HAVE A AUCTION THATS ENDING SOON. LOGE YOUR VIDEOS AND HAVE PURCHASED FROM DEAD DROP FOR MANY YEARS. THANK YOU!

I have so many more questions😂should we grade all rare cards from modern sets for future? Reverse holos? It’s a confusing market, and what about poorer condition cards 😫there’s so much to learn. Awesome content bro, I genuinely think those of us that watch should have to pay extra when buying from the store for the free investment advice 😂

Why is bgs 9.5 comparable to psa 10? Wouldn’t this mean a bgs 10 (prestine or black label) better/worth more than psa 10? Just wondering.

Does this company accept submissions from Canada? Or is it strictly US?

Faithful follower

I need any advice possible yesterday I just pulled a shiny charizard v from a champions path etb (my first Pokémon box ever) Ik it is about $500-550 raw. Everything on card looks great but the centering left to right is just slightly off. Could it get a 10 if everything else Is perfect? Could it still get a 9 and be worth it to grade through psa?

I’m only buying cards and not selling.

damn I should had waited I just sent my cards to beckett this morning. at low cost of $300 for 7 cards....

Just bought a PSA 8 Evos Holo Zard for 200, was that a good deal?

What do yall think a shiny psa 9 charizard V 079 is worth?

He looks like another Danny i know lol

danny you really do need a better camera..

I bought a box of cosmic eclipse and they were all resealed. Fix your shit Kthnx!

I feel like the market has peeked. Probably would sell if I had some cards that would sell for a high price

Good info. Video quality is poo tho.

why are you still sending that pos computer back lol

Fix ur site it’s wack I’m tryna buy cards it’s wack only buy one item at a time it’s 4$ for 1 card y can’t u just make it so a certain amount of items makes it free shipping

first???
