Ex graders have said they spend 30 to 90 seconds per card, that includes taking out of the holder, recording grades etc. it’s hilarious that people think PSA is sitting there scrutinizing the cards. They rush through and slap grades on. Hell, they’re in such a rush they not infrequently do severe damage to a card. Not nearly as much thought goes into the grades as people think. It’s easy to find PSA 10s on eBay that have visible flaws even viewing through the slab at a distance. Like everything else in this hobby the driving factor is the GAMBLE

PSA is where 9’s go to get a 10 label. 😂

If you pause it at 2:50 that Tua has a ding at the bottom right corner. Thats probably why it got that 8.

Moral of the video. PSA is no better than any other grading company and if you don't like the grade, just resubmit

I think the deal with grading is you have to get the more inexperienced people to get the good grades. They might miss stuff. The veterans probably gonna be more nit-picky and can't grade them all. It's luck of the draw. Was told by PSA they have 2 independent people look at the cards and give a grade. If they match, it's done.

I think if the card is numbered, they cn search what it got last time and grade it the same. I may be wrong.

Grading is a complete joke, and as long as you and everyone else keep falling for the scam, nothing will ever change. It's human error. Might as well look at card yourself !

I've never been to L.A but all the times I've played San Andreas and GTA I kinda feel like I have and would know my way around lol

There is no science behind grading. It is literally gambling. I like grading just for the protection.

PSA gives 10s like crazy.. not surprised, i stopped using PSA for that reason.. there's a reason HGA gave it a 9 but PSA must've missed something.. EVERY EYE is not the same 👀

New sub here, love the content! Keep up the good work 💪

Hilarious results to be honest, and in no good way for PSA. Was buying a '95 Stadium Club Ring Leader's Griffey Member's Only last weekend at a show, and the guy has a CSG 8.5. Came home, asked a guy with a PSA 8 if he could match the price and he went on a foul-mouthed rant on why CSG was a joke, he had 30 years in the business and yap, yap. So, I just said have a nice day. Went back to the show and paid MORE for the CSG. Why? Because screw the PSA seller. 🤣

I purchased a SGC 9 Select Wembanyama Mezzanine Blue Ice which will be cracked and then sending it in to PSA. I also plan on cracking a SGC 9.5 Bowman Chrome U Caitlin Clark Auto /99 and submitting it to PSA as well.

Great video!

Tag the only grader I would consider

I never got graded up. I always got graded down

Pop reports are never going to amount to anything with all these people regrading.

Crack it and sell it raw, or in other words scam unsuspecting collectors.... Hobby Heroes!

I got a 10 from an sgc crack out. I crack bgs 9s all day. 30 percent gem rate.

Grading is a joke!

what is the video of gem mint john showing you how to remove fuxzies off corner with tape?

It's still part of the game, when those 10 pregrades are a miss but you get wins elsewhere, resub and they are bound to hit. Having one sub get 20% gems and the next 65%, no rhyme or reason. Just have to hope the 10's have enough juice to profit and no damage done to the rest of the cards.

what do you mean with "I cleaned them"? Like really polishing or only wiping finderprints

So did you crack these? If so, how do they track a serial #?

Thanks for the video fellas. Will any of you guys be at the National?

@nothingbutcardboard do you have a link to the video you referred to that Gem Mint John goes over how treat the card edges? Thanks!

This round of crackout did not go your way this time. Thanks for sharing Not sure your comment at end of video about being overall thrilled with order coincides when the estimated return is -$14

You guys just proved how gawd-awful HGA is...

Great cards,mew sub thanks for sharing!!👍😎💯

Short answer is no. I've had plenty of 9s come back at a worse grade.

Nice hawk tua cards bro

Always wanted to do this!

Great video. I think older cards have pop limits and harder to upgrade. Stick to modern

How did you make a card better with print line in the card?

The Hurts purple shock looks off centered left to right.

The growth just in grading assessments over the course of the year has been phenomenal gentleman! Keep going!

1)How do you make a print line less visible? I’m assuming you used wax 2)You said crack and resell so you will make that know to the potential buyers correct? I would not be a buyer of anything you sell. Deceiving people and using wax to get better results isn’t a good look.

Hello everyone! Show us what you got! 🤙

They for sure look at the serial number. Best done with non #. Great vid

That Pujols Chrome looked too good for an 8😢

They cant upcharge when they downgrade 17 sgc 10s 10 autos!!!!!!

So I learned that grading cards makes no sense

PSA is a joke.

A 9 is mint. So its a weird scale. The 9.5 in bgs/sgc are truly weird i.m.o. it's mint but it's just a 9...

I’ve got a Kobe rc all star 10 I need to cross over I wish you could help me

sorry guys but take the grade the card was given🤷 so i guess ur gonna resub the 8 again lol

How much did it cost to grade them?

After the case is opened, that card stays in the psa registry, correct? Even if you submit it elsewhere

You don’t have to crack them they do crossover

Without watching you should get 2 10 always 20 percent that’s there limit

More ichiro crackouts....

Pretty good tips, except one sticking point. $5 cards that go to $50 with a 10 and only $15 in 9 still can be worth it. Even at a 50% 10 rate you make money. Say you did 20 $5 cards. Your into cards for $500 cost and grading. 10 9’s = $150, 10 10’s = $500 for total of $650 and a 30% profit of $150. If you bump that up to a 70% gem rate you would make $790 at a 58% profit of $290.

Flipper's are just in it for the money.... I would never switch a Beckett slab and tag for PSA😮😮😮 PSA is a rip off 😂😂 Beckett will always be a better buy then PSA. The flipper's bought into the hype. Because, they aren't true collector's 😂😂 But, too each and it's own. He lost money 🤑

Dont trust psa! At all.....

Of course Psa has been labeling serial cards always regrade non serial or regrade with a different company

Dump all those QBs there going nowhere.

If you got 10s from an HGA slab, I'd be very surprised. They are very soft graders.

PSA is Trash 🗑. I hope the hobby wakes up to what TAG Grading is doing. The days of cracking slabs and resubmiting are over because of TAG Grading. PSA is an outdated relic, and their slabs look like crap.
