I hope I have good luck

[@Somkeysucks123]

My fav gen Pokemon is Charmander

[@mattsandman9296]

Charizard for sure. I always picked him in the Pokémon red and blue games even though bulbasaur was better he will always be special to me! Also scanning for sure is the future. We are in a digital age and will continue to progress that further with more automated/computerized grading capabilities.

[@marinastever1731]

I think grading should be a combo of handheld and scanning. Computers can be super accurate, but I think it should have a handheld review before a final grade is determined.

[@peronkop]

Its going to be like this: “Woops, the computer gave this charizard a 10. We can't have that!"

Hey Leonhart! I would really love the Poliwag card. I've been collecting every version of Poliwag in the TCG and have every single english one released (currently in the process of getting the Japanese ones too!) This graded gem mint 10 would be perfect for my collection. You can find a thread on my twitter of my journey in collecting if you're curious/ need verification. Btw, Poliwag IS my favorite gen 1 mon. Thanks for the opportunity!

The Bible says that no one is a good person. We have all broken God's law the 10 commandments, we have all committed, lies, adultery, idolatry, and blasphemy. We deserve hell, but because of what Jesus did on the cross we can be forgiven. So if you Repent of your sins, change your wicked ways, and put your faith in Christ you will be written in the book of life. 👌 🙏Repentance is reviewing one's actions and feeling contrition or regret for past wrongs, which is accompanied by commitment to and actual actions that show and prove a change for the better..

[@alexortega6003]

As long as it’s implemented well, I feel like AI could be the future of card grading. Eliminates any bias or error of done right. I worry my cards just get glossed over by human graders at PSA/BGS since they have to meet quotas.

AI still has errors man, thats why CGC requires review for QA.

I think Robo scanning could be good. May eliminate the differences between Beckett and PSA… but something tells me hand graded is just nicer.

[@Aurelius3658]

Gengar has always been my favorite, I always loved his character design. I think scanning is the future for graded cards, since handheld grading introduces bias and inconsistencies.

[@chrishermus7843]

There's something to be said about the proficiency of scanning cards and having them graded with the unbiased opinion of AI with the human aspect of reviewing and going over the cards. Robograding is the future in card grading.

Quite excited for your regarding of your cards good luck man!!!!!

[@eneirin5493]

Hey Leonhart! To a lot of people, they'd probably expect something like Charizard, but my favorite is Hypno! With all of the Pokemon games that have the children, ghosts, and best of all, Hypno; I have always been interested in the Hypno creepypasta and all of the content made around it, the shiny form is also amazing, as I love shinies with pink coloration! I'm excited to see how this turns out!

I honestly think the future of grading is going to be fully automated. I’m hoping automated grading will result in faster turn around times along with a lower overall cost. Great video as always!

I actually used AGS recently! The slabs are nice, the graded seem to be accurate, and the value and turnaround time was incredible!

[@travisstollstoll7837]

I thinking scanning grading will be the future. Scanning grades would most likely be more consistent since a person grading may be a little more biased depending on who is looking at the specific card

[@SellMeShort]

I agree, but I think that subjectivity of humans grading is always going to keep people coming back.

[@jonpham2104]

Squirtle has to be my favorite by far. As for the grading system, I do like computer scanned grading. I feel like giving out too many 10s with psa grading reduces the value and chase aspect of the cards, but I’ll take any slab anytime of day lol!

[@rwgbragnarsty9442]

Auto grading makes sense for the future of grading so wouldn’t be surprised if more places will do it. You should send the RoBo graded cards in for hand grading too see if there’s a diff. Would be a cool video👍🏻👍🏻

[@thesenate_4273]

Great video! My favourite gen 1 video would have to be Seel as seals in real life are my favourite animals and I think Seel is very cute. Also, I think the use of both handheld and scanned are the future techniques for grading as machines can make mistakes so should be backed up by human eyes.

[@MrThatwasswitch]

I was in the Pokemon League when I was 7-8 years old. How it worked was you had a little booklet and everytime you defeated another player in the League you would report it to the local game store employee and they would stamp your booklet. Once you got enough stamps you had to "Fight" a Gym Leader ( in the same order as the game) So you would fight Brock and the store owner would have to use that "Trainer Deck". If you beat them you were given a Metal Badge (Pin). you can then start making progress towards the next badge. was AMAZING as a kid and a great concept.

[@bbarks]

Blastoise was always #1, I think computer grading definitely is the future at least is some part of the grading process

[@I.cant.wait.]

You should make a Pokémon TCG tier list :D It would be awesome if you made a tier list of every Pokémon set in each era, like all the sets from Sword & shield and so on. Why has no Pokémon-youtuber done this yet? :)

[@jordanfeguis3133]

I believe the future of grading is scanning. To me it makes sense from a business standpoint to make this process automated. By doing so it will not only make the grading more accurate, but also cut down on employee hours. It might hurt job security for those that are card graders, but ultimately I believe it would be a benefit for the company.

[@shahin9965]

Just got some cards graded with AGS for that reason

[@BIG5]

I can’t tell you how badly I would like to grade some of my cards. Unfortunately pricing is just ridiculously high. It’s so sad that most of us cannot afford to grade the cards we love. I wish these companies would stop scamming us for our money and allow us common individuals to be able to afford grading the cards we love.

Favorite poke from Gen 1 is Mewtwo. I think that a cross grade between humans and computer sounds intriguing! Computers are more precise and faster than we are but it would still be nice to know that a human laid eyes on it as well for assurances! Thanks for the content Leonhart!

[@dalemogose884]

Hey Leonhart, my favorite first gen would be Charmander! I think the future of grading would be scanning so that it cancels out bias as much as possible since some cards have a celebrity/influencers stamp all over them. I started watching your videos during the lockdown and that forced me to find my old pokemon cards, which fortunately or unfortunately I found, pretty destroyed. We didn't have the habit of keeping them in sleeves/albums all those years ago in India! Thanks for the nostalgia! Love your videos, and the energy! Cheers!

[@itshardtochangehandles]

So if you scan the QR code on the back, it should take you to a link where you can see the breakdown of all the different categories graded and what they got. It is interesting as they do multiple decimal places, so you get a pretty detailed evaluation. I'm still not sure how I feel about automating the entire process and taking the human element out of it, but I do think that all the details AGS provides and the speed at which they can turn around your cards are pretty great.

Also I believe that grading will be a combo of scanning and in hand. Hands on grading will always be viable but scanning sounds like they really catch things h wouldn’t see with the human eye. Maybe when the tech is better it will over take grading by storm

As for the future of grading, I feel like it’s gotta be a combination because yes, scanning technology sounds great on paper, but there may be some things that scanning can’t pick up on potentially.
