Modern Pokemon PSA Returns!

[@johnnytheyoungmaestro]

I really enjoyed seeing this, especially since you stayed cool and collected throughout the video. I also appreciate how you didn't cover the grades and show prices on the video. Just a genuine reaction. Great video! :)

[@GemMintPokemon]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching!

[@TowerJimmy]

can you make a video how much money you have totally spent on your collection and how much your collection is now worth? I wonder if this is an actual Investment or just a very expensive hobby. Either way, your videos are very relaxing lol

[@GemMintPokemon]

Thank you for watching. It's an expensive hobby. Goals are everything, but people and the relationships are the most valuable part of the hobby. No plans to sell the collection, so the value doesn't matter.

[@psapikachu]

Been a while since I’ve gotten to catch up on my favorite youtubers videos 🙏 nice to see you explore into modern , hope all has been good man :)

[@GemMintPokemon]

Thanks, you too man!

[@hippo1639]

I've had a theory for a long time now that Full Art Alakazam was double printed on the full art sheet in Vivid Voltage. Just consistently see it overrepresented in online auctions compared to others from the set.

[@GemMintPokemon]

It's way too cheap. Love that card!

[@pokedadsam9041]

The captions have it as Nine Nine Nine and not Neinx3 lol. 😅 good old KZbin

[@MisterStubstep]

Perfect video to organize cards to. Thank you

[@GemMintPokemon]

Thank you!

[@purpleraikou]

Tyranitar is listed at 6'07" and Mega Tyranitar is listed at 8'02" according to bulbapedia :p

[@GemMintPokemon]

Thanks!

[@88ncampos]

Just found your channel, excited to check out the content! Heard about you on tcagaming channel

[@tcgtonysamazingpulls]

That Zam is sick!

[@ablank2648]

Man this distresses me for my slightly off center but very clean modern cards that I just submitted lol

[@DanGString]

Exact same here! If they are harsh on the centering they need to update their standards as mine I measured mine and they were no more than 60/40 which according to them is PSA 10 minimum!

[@mattymatt1626]

Sleepy T is the only chase in battlestyles? I like the urshifu vmax alt art better lol

[@GemMintPokemon]

Kanto holds a special place.

[@monanna3453]

nice Submission man, PSA look like they are grading more harsh these days, which is good overall

[@pikachugoldstar2839]

This is something I hear EVERY single year. :D

[@GhostlordGames]

Can you give a video discussing the overall state of PSA submissions? The last time I submitted was like 3+ years ago and it was with Ludkin’s. I heard Ludkin’s is completely shut down now?? I have like 400+ cards that I want to grade and was expecting like $10 a card. There is not much info on the state of PSA, the new submission process, the state of PSA middlemen, etc. Do you have any thoughts or insight into that?

[@stacky54]

It’s super easy. Plenty of KZbin vids showing how.

[@GemMintPokemon]

PSA is quick. You'll get your cards back within a month for any tier. I've only ever submitted directly to PSA. I strongly believe you should only submit directly and not use a middleman. The effort is almost the same either way.

[@Jacobey22]

This is the reason I break up my submissions so you don’t get the toughest grader for all 100 cards

[@GemMintPokemon]

100%

[@DangerNugget]

Love your videos, but pleeeease be more careful cutting those boxes open. I was on the edge of my seat watching that

[@GemMintPokemon]

Noted!

[@chrispearce6280]

My question is when is enough …enough? Or is it the case you just end up with thousands upon thousands of slabs 😂😂

[@GemMintPokemon]

Goals are goals. Slow and steady.

[@aveighht1007]

Have never submitted any cards, how’s the process?

[@GemMintPokemon]

There's a few How to Grade videos out there. They walk you through step by step.

[@OdaComeOda]

Alakazam ftw.

[@LostLosty]

Videos like this just proves to me that grading is a slot machine 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@davidnelson2288]

To be fair he did send a lot of really badly centered cards

[@pokecollect32]

Ouch psa absolutely wrecked you this go round ouch. I hope my 76 card submission is better than this. They have been very harsh with grading here recently mainly centering there cracking down on hard. Looks like there going 45-55 on the grading now vs the 40/60 standard.

[@Nqtor]

The whole sub is 666 hahah oh no

[@GemMintPokemon]

Could have been worse.

[@Nqtor]

@@GemMintPokemon666 set completion, new vid coming soon 😆
