I have a hunch that some graders may own 10’s of some of these vintage cards and refuse to add more 10’s to the pop because it’ll bring the value of their personal collection down. They may even go so far as to make a tiny blemish and pretend it was always there. Coming from someone with an eye for detail, so many 9’s are clearly solid 10’s. I just don’t fully trust it.

[@Itsjcold0]

Are they could be switching cards out Pokemon is quickly turning to gold

[@the_absolute_light]

@@Itsjcold0 possibly but idk the likely hood of them having lesser quality copies of the exact cards on hand to switch them out.

[@Itsjcold0]

@@the_absolute_light true the same thing is happening with vintage game market

[@daverose2012]

That makes a lot of sense

[@satoruu3044]

Not just that but PSA is sometimes extremely coin flippy with their grading. I have some cards which I'd never would have guessed were a 10

[@Vayporized]

Love your channel. I wish these companies had a sheet for every card to show what they dinged to take off grades would make customers feel better about the reason some cards are graded the way they are.

[@pokehex5555]

Oh man that would be incredible.

[@LostMySauce]

Subgrades were supposed to solve this but PSA straight up refuses to acknowledge them

[@Change77712]

Good video and thanks for sayings the prices as it keeps one informed with context 😊

[@ZackRamsey14]

Just wanted to say love your channel man, consistent quality

[@pokehex5555]

I appreciate that!

[@theredrage9433]

I love the look of Raichu, Awesome video! plus opening the pikachu and resending it would be fun to see if it get's a different grade, BUT the risk of damaging it.

[@robertf4157]

Loving these videos. Good quality and sound. You definitely have a good voice tone too. Thanks for the uploads.

[@pokehex5555]

Glad you like them!

[@mrjedmorgan7679]

Some nice returns 8.5 snorlax seem crazy great video again as always

[@markaword1561]

Aw man, was hoping for at least one 10 too lol really cool to see this

[@TrainerTakumi]

Love the content! Keep it coming.

[@pokehex5555]

Thanks! Will do!

[@matthewthelen5336]

Love that its a Pokemon and crypto channel.... capitol idea... as a fellow PLS holder... LFG!

[@robbiemarrett5821]

Great video, I’m currently on a nostalgia hunt - bidding on cards that feel the most nostalgic to me! My brother sold my Pokémon collection to his friend for £100 when we were around 16/17 (15 years ago) now he’s sold them for over 4K 😂 I’m happy for him though 😅

[@Aaaandy_kick]

Congraz on your return

[@adventuresofascotsman9090]

Just found your channel as my 5 year old is so into Pokemon, he is going to love these videos!

[@alexrekzu4079]

Ha cool I just randomly watched your old videos of you unboxing those sets the other day and here you are. 👍

[@pokehex5555]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@guyhale4941]

I just watched the shadowless box opening and was wondering how the grading went. Now I know.

[@guyhale4941]

I was rooting for that elusive black label. Keep looking.

[@pokehex5555]

I’m going to keep trying!

[@Chiheb_AK]

Gyarados is my fav card in that set, that was one of my first cards when i first got into pokemon when i was a kid

[@0fflineish]

That would be super cool if you opened up the pikachu and sent it to get regraded! That sounds like a really interesting experiment.

[@jscottyson]

Great content as always!! PSA 10 Alakazam $400 mentioned @ 8:45? I would buy that every day of the week!

[@banderas2000]

awesome card huh

[@frogartti]

PSA return videos are awesome. Love guessing the grades!

[@frogartti]

I feel like PSA is much harsher when grading vintage. Tons of great returns though!

[@Igotboredatwork]

Was there any consideration of grading the electrode error print from the jungle opening?

[@pokehex5555]

Didn’t think it was a big deal to grade them.

[@louloudallasmultipass]

I’m terrified to grade cards. I think it would give me way too much anxiety to send any in lol. Would you ever consider cracking the Charizard and sending it to get graded again?

[@pokehex5555]

You read my mind. I tweeted this out. lol x.com/pokehex5555/status/1723458905194258732

[@maurice2014]

The fact that resending it could possibly change the grade, shows me people blindingly worship PSA. It’s not the best SGC is better imo and 100x faster.

[@936East_texas_flatbed]

Where can I buy one of those haunter at ?

[@WaterFruitTree]

Good luck!

[@Find.list.ship66]

Did he mention how much it cost to get those all graded? I might have missed that part.

[@BrockYalcin]

İf we want to purchase those 8 and 9s from you where can we look it up

[@alexpolhill5840]

You def deserved at least one 10 in my opinion

[@Davidgon100]

I like how you call kangaskhan Ghengis Khan

[@markaword1561]

Lmqo and richu

[@icantw8]

Were these straight from the pack? Like did you open it and then grade it right after that? Can't believe some of them would go as low as 8. O_o

[@pokehex5555]

yup, pack fresh

[@WaynesStrangeBrain]

What a baller. Do you have anything you don't bother to grade, or you're too afraid to open? I'm always impressed by your knowledge about what you're handling!

[@pokehex5555]

Ya I have a whole box of 1999 1st edition base set cards and 1999 shadowless cards I didn’t bother to grade from those two box openings I did. lol. Also a ton more 1999 jungle and fossil 1st edition holos and 8 boxes worth of commons lol

[@Axe_z33]

Wow dude nice

[@atray5519]

Were all of these cards box/pack fresh when you submitted?

[@pokehex5555]

Yes they were.

[@tirevelation777]

I want a Haunter holo, looks cool

[@_Flux_]

Beautiful Charizard

[@DAVIS__]

hexican checking in. Btw do you have an ebay store where you post your lower grades?

[@pokehex5555]

Welcome my Hexican friend! I do not no.

[@maxntjeXxX]

Damn u cracked 5base/fossil/jungle boxes and only got this in return ?

[@pokehex5555]

No I got a lot more. This was me hand selecting the best holos that I thought would grade the best.

[@hulksmash8103]

Do you think psa grades vintage harder? Maybe they assume vintage has been in some kids binder for 20 years

[@pokehex5555]

They definitely grade more harshly imo. Maybe pop control. Idk. That was 3 boxes of Fossil and 2 boxes of Jungle. And I picked out the best cards of each to send. Not one 10.

[@nmitchell1251]

Crazy how it doesn’t matter if you take the upmost care of the card from out of the pack you’re still more then likely not getting a ten

[@millej11]

Sick 8.5 that's rare

[@gudy213]

Let’s Hexican!!! Are you grading Pokémon 151?

[@pokehex5555]

No, but I’ll be buying BGS Black Labels of the main hit cards lol.

[@SDCISHERE]

Wow

[@FJX716]

What’s the difference between a Becket grading vs a PSA grading?

[@pokehex5555]

Not much, except that in order to get a perfect Black Label Beckett 10 they are VERY strict. Way more then a PSA 10.

[@FJX716]

@@pokehex5555 so the pikachu might have gotten a 10 at PSA then?

[@pokehex5555]

It 100% will be a 10 at PSA if I regraded it with them. But I’m still chasing after the elusive Black label card as there are ZERO for any 1999 series card out there.

[@FJX716]

@@pokehex5555 makes sense, thanks for the info!

[@PapaLu08]

Man PSA is seriously so corrupt. For cards that dont even have pointed edges the original pokemon never get 10's anymore because they control the pop count so they make money when you send them in people rarely get the grade they want so they crack them a resubmit. Just to pay psa again. All those cards should have gotten 10's.

[@pokehex5555]

I just filmed another PSA return for the non holo versions of this. It’s even worse for that return then this one considering there is no holo foil involved.

[@PapaLu08]

@@pokehex5555 Your joking? That's just ridiculous. I know people will argue that because they are old thats why but those boxes you buy are in prestine condition. I can see the holos with print lines and holo bleed not getting 10's but the non holos?? Cmon! I wounder if the smaller grading companys do the same thing? Ohh well just found your channel, i collect sports but when i was young i finished the first set 1-151 all holos and non holos. Even went and watched the pokemon movie 3 times with my brother to get multiple ancient mews. The good ole days

[@Western_TV]

so jealous 😭

[@joelh90]

I got an 8.5 on a blaines charizard a few years ago it made me so angry.

[@boogiewoogie9770]

$132? Such specific amount!

[@austinreed.]

8.5? I thought PSA didn't do half grades?

[@lui9797]

Bro you should do a giveaway for the bulk first edition, heck I’ll buy them from you if price is right need base set and jungle to complete master sets

[@cd8815]

Is it just me or would these have gotten 10s a 2-3 years ago?

[@pokehex5555]

Nah, they were just as strict then. Now rewind this 8-10 years ago. Certainly way more lenient probably.

[@egycollector]

So unfortunate that I can't join the giveaways since I'm in Egypt 💔

[@maurice2014]

“GHENGISkhan” 😂😂

[@pokehex5555]

lol. I’m set in my ways. Been saying it wrong for 20 years. Can’t change now.

[@maurice2014]
