hey y’all!!! hope you enjoy the vid! i’m at collect a con today 😁🔥

[@gabeo9474]

I think the issue here is that the card conditioning scale (as defined by TCGplayer) is not equivalent to the PSA grading scale. I believe the reason for this is because the conditioning scale needs to account for cards at the bottom end that PSA wouldn't even grade and thus does not factor such cards into the grading scale. Since PSA accounts for a smaller subset of cards, the windows for each point are narrowed and shifted upward with respect to card condition. This is why a TCGplayer NM (condition=7+) could easily grade 6 on the PSA scale.

That was a great vid! I wish we could have got some better grades it hurts to see you hurt . But anyhow the rocket mewtwo was awesome . But the alakazam has to be my favorite . Thanks for the great video Vert ! We will see you on the next one 😊

[@cassiopeiaxdailylife9523]

Nice! Some very nice cards. Oh I'm remember these cards from before just before you sent them in for grading. Oh a 5, hmm Looks really good. I can't answer that question because I haven't seen all of the sets and cards. I'm enjoying the video. Nice swirl. oh that card is moving inside the case. Mewtwo PSA 8 thanks!

[@SheerForce66]

Love legendary collection man. That reverse holo dragonair 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@boxcarairwaves182]

My fave was sleepy dragonite! Awesome vid !

[@cyrax83]

Just dropped a like enjoying the videos man

[@kyfriedcharizard]

Love the submission vids!

[@ShinyVert]

gang gang ty bro✊🏼🔥

[@xxnapalmchildxx]

People really need to look at their condition guide before listing. As well as comparing comps on potential graded because I 100% agree nm should grade at minium a 7. I love the old school ex and lv x cards! Something people aren't talking about though is primes and prism cards those are definitely slept on.

[@MarketScraper]

Great video, rough return on the modern alt arts 😭

[@tainanking]

Tcg player buyers usually pay more and sales for me are slow but my cards are much better condition than what most post. Near mint cards to me are grading 8 or above imo. Anything below will be LP for me. More than one corner of white I got is LP to me. I can’t believe people buy cards on tcg player without pics unless it’s modern. It’s pretty crazy. Unless they had a way to verify the condition, you will never know exactly.

[@MysticMoonCards]

Dang they did you dirty on a few of those bad boys

[@tainanking]

Psa is weird. They gave me lower grades on my lower end cards but gave me a huge 10 on a card that’s 4K but in a 9 only like 5-700$. You never know with the grading now it will really go but missing out on a few hundred for a few while I recouped that and more on a couple cards kinda makes up for it. But those high end cards are also. It easy to sell

[@Izzlemynizzle61]

Love the vid! But don't forget that Voltorb is a shiny that's a secret rare not just a reverse :)

[@frostking3852]

My would be lvx or old school exs love the vid

[@DizGusThingg]

If you got a scratch on the holo, it’s an automatic 7.

[@Absolute_Zero-ko8sj]

Damn I'm here late. Sick vid

[@ArcaneGamin]

600 dollars just to send them off u got dat monnneeeyyyy

[@TheBrownJumper]

How long does it take for me to get my order I spent over $100 dollars on from your website

[@slayerzerg]

bro how are you getting 9s on the rayquaza vmax. it's a 6 in 7 chance of getting a 10 :( i've submitted 3 all 10s lolol

[@ShinyVert]

BRO CONGRATS ON YOURS LOL, it’s absolutely killing me bro i’ve submitted so many🤣

[@vincecourts8740]

Card literally says on it near mint 7. him i feel like a 7 is lightly played 😂

[@arnold-moger]

Resub those modern 4s!!

[@ShinyVert]

fr dude, that HURT lol

[@Lmatdhr]

Why would you not get a refund when given nm cards as mp

[@ShinyVert]

wanted to show the people the truth lol

[@hoboIove]

This why i stopped buying from tcgplayer for anything i want to grade even modern. Without pictures i'd assume sellers wouldnt put up psa 9/10 quality cards even at nm. If they were potentially a 10 they'd grade themselves or sell on ebay for more

[@The_Card_Father]

You got shafted from tcgplayer and then shafted again from psa...😢

[@ShinyVert]

fr bro🥹🥹🥲

[@familyfunflatwithjess7090]

Not vintage we still in classic

[@scott_ennis]

Dope video. Legendary collection is top tier. Vintage is almost pointless for us to grade in my opinion. PSA doesn't like to give good grades on those ever

[@catholiccowboy]

So you never answered the question in the title of the video. It would have been cool if you would have added up the total cost/price of their raw value, added the cost of grading and compared that to the graded price. Then answered your question.

[@ShinyVert]

sorry about that… didn’t even realize, big oops on my part but appreciate the feedback and will def fix this going forward :D

[@felixbelaunzaran1680]

Some of those cards look deam near perfect. Wonder what's the grading system

[@cafe100mph6]

Psa knows ppl Crack slabs and re sub so there's little incentive to hand out 10s or even 9s

[@pokejoe8166]

F cgc:…….PSA is better

[@ShinyVert]

#fcgc all day long 🗣️🗣️

[@truckchuck5601]

Make sure and leave them bad reviews on tcg player please so we can see what’s going on. Nice video.

[@danielexley4458]

psa r getting harder on conditioning i think

[@squidypop8799]

YAY NOTIFICATIONS CAME THRU!! and cgc is a huge L

[@ShinyVert]

all i heard was FACTS

[@cryptonite8495]

Vintage Pokemon. 🤣Well, for some people 2001 is vintage.

[@cafe100mph6]

Nobody on tcg player is selling near mint cards that grade 9 plus. You are getting scammed buying off "trusted" sellers. If they could grade the cards and pull higher grades they would do it themselves. Sorry for your huge massive loss.

[@ShinyVert]

yea, unfortunately i think you’re exactly spot on😢 sad truth but appreciate the info man

[@cafe100mph6]

@@ShinyVert thanks for your honest humility! Very rare trait these days.

[@JoyBoyCoy]

Gotta use the Japanese versions if you want a perfect grade brother! English cards are shitty quality very rarely will u get a 10 most pack fresh English cards are 8 or less 95% of the time real talk 😅

[@squidypop8799]

FIRST

[@evanspierre9194]

Can't wait for my subs to come back 🤌🏾

[@ShinyVert]

hope u get fire bro🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
