8/31 SUBMISSION TIPS UPDATE: 1. Others have suggested that sticky flags (post its) are outdated because PSA apparently cuts the card out of the card saver instead of removing by pulling. (Thanks Greg) 2. There are tools to measure the centering of the card you can find on Amazon. 3. I did not put a "minimum grade request on any of these cards since I went through a 3rd party." 3. Using a Q-top to clean the card can be very effective (according to Jason of Jason's breaks). Keep the tips coming! Thanks y'all! -Brad

I honestly believe that finding really nice PSA9's and SGC9.5's for less money, cracking them out, and resubbing raw is the best way to go. The second a PSA9 or SGC9.5 gets into a BGS9.5+ you're instantly gonna make 2-4x your money depending on sub grades. Or doing grade reviews with PSA can work well too. Trying to sub raw cards can pay off once in awhile. But it is better to use cards that have already been screened and slabbed by graders already.
@TheComebackCardInvestor 3 жыл бұрын
Good points, Ryan. I've also found that PSA 8s of modern cards are selling less than the raw card itself on eBay so another idea I have is to buy 8's at that card/player's low point, crack them and resell as raws at that player's peak.

Some good advice in there. I never found much value in putting the worse card of a duplicate first and then better as go along, think most of that is just speculation but doesn't hurt i suppose. There are quite a few PSA submissions on youtube that prove that though. Few pieces of advice that I have found that have helped over the 6-7 years I have been submitting; 1. Read/follow what they want, i.e. label the box, how to order the cards, what category of submission etc. It speeds up the turn around time. 2. Use Ebay or like to compare other gem mint cards. This especially helps with cards that don't have boarders or something that can tell centering easy.

I prefer no peel. I figure if the card is being slabbed you might as well get to see the card in it’s best possible form. I think as you get cards graded you will learn a ton of what makes the various grades. I take PSA 10 cards and look at them with a lighted loop to see exactly what a graded 10s edges and corners look like. PSA is more forgiving with centering so it’s easier to still get a 10 grade if card is slightly off centered. I also look up cards I want to submit on eBay and closely look at what the 9s and 10s look like. Each card set is different so sometimes it’s easy to miss things like centering on borderless cards. Oh when you are cleaning your chrome cards you have to watch out for finger prints too, so handling those card on the edges or with gloves is best for cleaning. Good luck with your submission and can’t wait to see your reveal video months from now.

I have found one thing to be true. Even after my cards were cleaned, I still got grades I deemed to be lower than they should've been. From now on, I'm going minimum grade submissions especially with my higher end cards so that way itll be a 9 or 10 and if not theyll send it back raw. I had a bad experience with a bulk submission through a group. Groups wont send a minimum grade submission so I'll just do it myself. Great video as always, but the grading companies should be held accountable. PSA unfortunately gives no sub grades or explanation as to where they see the flaws on your cards.
@TheComebackCardInvestor 4 жыл бұрын
Hey Craig. Thanks for that insight. Yeah that makes a lot of sense. The sub grades make Beckett a very interesting grading company for that reason and perhaps better for higher end cards. Regardless, you’re spot on with the accountability part. There’s way too much money at stake for subjectivity at this point. Hope to catch you on the livestream tonight 😎

I can tell you one way you messed up and it's a biggie. Don't use your eye to judge centering! Big NO NO! If I had a nickel for every PSA return video I watched and the guy says "it looked centered to me". You need a centering grading tool. They are around $16-$20. Measure every single card. Top to bottom, left to right. Same on the back. I won't send any card in to be graded if it's not at least 55/45--54/46--56/44 all the way. Those ratios above are roughly 1 millimeter off 50/50. That means anything 2 millimeters off 50/50 does not get submitted. You think your eye is good enough to discern the difference between 1-2 millimeters?

Also, if you’re a grader and have two identical cards, one with a tab and one without, and you give the person with tabs a 10 just because “they made your life “easier” instead of the one without, you probably SHOULDN’T be a grader. Yes, making people’s lives easier is common courtesy but that shouldn’t determine your grade 👍 Come on people been in the game too long. Do your research!

Any reason the card savers are preferred over a top loader? Do they charge you to get them out like COMC ?
@TheComebackCardInvestor 4 жыл бұрын
Hey Jay. I've heard PSA cuts the card out of the card saver which is much easier to cut than a top loader and I'm not sure of a surcharge. When I went through The Bullpen, they said I could leave the cards in top loaders, but that's probably just because they are nearby and have a good relationship with PSA.

How is the Bullpen? Are they a good and trustworthy service for PSA submissions?
@TheComebackCardInvestor 4 жыл бұрын
Hey Lou. I just did my first submission with them so I'm hoping so. Since they're a long established sports card shop, I feel confident that it will go through smoothly but will have to wait a few months to see how everything goes. Hope to catch you on the livestream tonight!

Do you consider psa 9s a good investment? Most 10s are out of my price range.
@jonlamica9216 4 жыл бұрын
i think in most cases if a psa 10 doubles in price then so will the psa 9
@ryant.warren5737 4 жыл бұрын
I feel that 9's are a great investment as there are more buyers for them as opposed to the 10s. PSA and BGS.
@TheComebackCardInvestor 4 жыл бұрын
Hey Tyson. Yeah I tend to agree. It's all about a trick down approach in my eyes. When 10's go absurd in price, 9's follow suit. when the multiplier of a 10:9 is crazy, 9s look like the better value. If the rations are close, then 10s have more upside...but it also matters the pop report and how easy a 10 is to get vs a 9

How much do scratches effect the cards grade? I have a 2013 Giannis Monster box that has a small but deep scratch everything else is good tho
@TheComebackCardInvestor 3 жыл бұрын
I would imagine A LOT! My guess is a 7-8 off the bat. Look up the condition of that card in a 6,7, 8 etc and see if you can find one in similar shape for reference

Did you put a minimum grade on your cards? I feel like I'd rather receive a raw card back than a slabbed PSA 8 (for the more recent stuff), that's a whole other thing for the vintage stuff.
@TheComebackCardInvestor 4 жыл бұрын
Hey Maxime. For this submission, I didn't but yeah I agree. A modern era 8 hurts compared to selling raw where people can envision the card getting a 9.

Hey Brad I’m thinking about getting my ufc cards graded very soon. So with psa it has to be bundles? I got about 3-4 cards I’m looking at. Minimum is 10 cards ,correct? This is my 1st time doing it. Feedback would be appreciated 🤟🏼

@TheComebackCardInvestor 4 жыл бұрын
Hey Jimbo. Great question. To be honest, I'm not sure. I'd ask an experienced grader. For me, any card I buy with the smallest flaw I assume will grade at a 9 and will only pay according to that. If you can look up PSA 10's and 9's of that card on completed sales on eBay to look in detail for any flaws, that may help. Have a great Sunday!

I heard raw cards in good condition can still be plenty valuable but anything less than a PSA 10 could be less valuable than a good raw card. Is this true? It makes me very nervous to even try to getting anything graded.

hey Ryan. What's up man? Yeah I went and spoke to the owner. Definitely more of a "hip" vibe versus traditional card shops. Bull Pen is right there and they do monthly meetups with 40-50 people so once Covid dies down, hopefully they'll get back to that. I'm in Tampa for the next few weeks but hope to catch you at the Grove again!
