Ah yeah, those are some of my favorites too! Thanks so much for watching and leaving such a nice comment.

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it

You have to assume the person selling the pack already pulled their master ball from the box and is now selling the dud packs.

Thank you!!

Right, I always thought this was obvious too. You often hear those statements online, though. Less these days, but still.

Yeah all those cards are definitely within parameters of a 10. Unless it's really egregious, you'll hit the ten 9 times out of 10.

The Mew is definitely too OC to get a 10 unless you get a blind grader. The other two, as I have mentioned in the video, definitely could get a 10, but it is simply not worth the risk with modern cards. If you get a 9 on a modern Japanese card, it's GG. Money wasted. Those two might very well be within 60:40 and thus, within PSA 10 parameters. The problem is that PSA is not consistent on this. In fact, PSA isn't consistent on anything. I've seen and gotten back myself too many 9s that were within 60:40. Just watched a video recently of someone getting wrecked with 9s on ultra modern Japanese for cards that were slightly OC, like the ones I talked about. The people who grade tons of tens also never mention all the cards they buy from Japan and then reject and resell raw. Cards with this centering are sometimes the ones people resell raw because it is simply not worth the risk. If these were older, more expensive cards, then yeah I would give it a shot, but not when they're ultra modern cheap Japanese cards.

@@pocketdreamau Certainly not the Mew, the other two would have a chance. See my reply to the other commenter though. But, even if they had a 9 out of 10 chance, that still means "not perfect cards". Many people online make it sound like Japanese cards are perfect. That was my main point with this myth.

@@Dark_ibex agree with the premise that japanese cards aren't always perfect. I just think psa is a bit more lenient than they have been on the past. I have recently had a lot of success with psa returns from my most recent trip to Japan. Most of the cards I submitted were marked for damage but ostensibly had no issues besides very slight centring and normal warping and still hit the 10. I think overall stores are often way too harsh in their appraisal. Obviously I'm not doing this on the scale that you speak of but if you are careful and meticulous it is pretty easy to grade modern Japanese. Really enjoy the videos, thank you for replying to my comment.

Definitly

Cheaper than ripping packs? Cheaper to buy from Japan? Can you specify?

Cheaper than ripping packs/boxes? In Japan

depends on your luck by 99 percent of the time buying singles is cheaper.

@@David-ue7vv It's always better to buy singles than ripping packs, in any language.

You live in Japan I’m guessing?

@@David-ue7vvobviously best price you can get is if you’re in japan but you can get pretty close overseas. Im seeing treasure ex for $31 in the us and standard sets like crimson haze and mask of change for $34 and less

great price!

That's great!

They are called TCG Full Protect Sleeve from the same company. I bought them on Amazon Japan. www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/gp/product/B01ISK11VK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

They are called TCG Full Protect Packcase from the same company. You can find them on Amazon Japan. www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/Kawashima-Seisakusho-FPPS-2-Unopened-Polycarbonate/dp/B091QCWW2J/ref=sr_1_5?crid=R1L7IITYCBT6&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.O48e09RZon9XV9HdS4FclZ49DebGo1lO1ewLEdpiyxJKnvqVDW4920spH_xpYYrGdmPyT6ZI0Owui7FO9oDkKSb0vEmrW6V0wmr77jA7V1V5Ghax4MaYDmJMem9BARhfHzL-jDe9IuHtuagtzkQJC86jJRXWDJc0eQDi5fBIahgSjTNIP9i8SQjrqDdPUZRSSC0o-lHuraWyOPCkXyKl0d2DvAqCvMAyCdrTxQDH6NxU3F4xIuQ3FSy4CXQjcrLsJnMUxzysmy73lh70z0oz514jtT5DgGBZbRdqxr-9FTo.m842-WpDrrEuFjcaBseNxEgcOrKwcrixw8GULUtu7s4&dib_tag=se&keywords=kawashima%2Bseisakusho%2Btcg&qid=1718094572&sprefix=kawashima%2Bseis%2Caps%2C158&sr=8-5&th=1

lol, you clearly didn't listen to what I said. Just right over your head, swoosh. How many times did I praise the set for being good? And what did I say when I discussed them as being "just reverse holos"? Go back, listen again, type what I said in the video as a reply so I know you actually listened and then tell me if you still think I am hating on this set. Or are you just another person in these comments that is salty that me cautioning people about master balls back in September 23 turned out to be a pretty good call?

Not sure about ebay, but just search for T-stand trading card stand, or something... You will find them.

The magnetic case works just fine with the T-stand. That's the beauty, you are not limited by the stand. I don't use magnetic holders or those that the lotus was in very often, though. You need perfect-fit sleeves for these holders, and I don't really like those. I just go the toploader route for raw cards.

@@Dark_ibex thanks for your advice :) will definitely try those T-stands with my cases :)

Nice! haha Thanks for watching

Oh man, the domino effect... Happened to me on more than one occasion, haha. Never again! Good point about the mini CDs, they'd look great on a T-stand

Those sound pretty cool!

Great timing, indeed; that's awesome!

Most likely some damage on that card.

Thanks so much!

Thank you!

Yes
