PSA Alternatives are BETTER?! A Closer Look at Rare Edition & ARS Grading Companies [+Grade Reveal]

I know it's been a hot minute since I uploaded! All is well and the collecting game is still strong.
I've recently been exploring other grading options beyond the typical PSA, BGS, & CGC. Today we'll be taking a closer look at two great new grading companies I'm a fan of: Rare Edition & ARS in Japan!
The slab quality is just off the charts from these two compared to PSA's plastic standard cases. But is the value there yet? What do you think?

I was looking up grading companies and just happened to see Rare Edition on the list. Those slabs not only look good, but look solid. Congrats on the grade 10.

Looks like I might be sending to Rare Edition because wow. I wish ARS was global so I could send to them as well

Where have you been? So long since the last video!

🔥 slabs Quick question, I recently just received a ARS slab and realized there’s no grade/qr on the back. Did i end up getting a fake ARS slab?

If it's auth only, they won't have either. Instead you'll get "ARS genuine" on the right and the logo in the middle.
