I didn't even know you collected One Piece! That world is so foreign to me. Would love to see you make a video sharing what you know and look for.

[@uclasuperfan]

To be fair, he collects everything.

[@docholidayproductions]

I'm not even a horse racing guy but that Secretariat card is really cool

[@Niceguy12]

Love the grading stuff, do more

[@The047SportsTCGCards]

Major Props to the person who turned you on to One Piece. Great Sub Bro.

[@mr.fancypants1524]

Dude if you know someone with a cloning machine you should jam that Secretariat hair card in there and see if a giant strong fast horse comes out the other side

[@dk_displays]

Yeah, for sure - keep the PSA sub reveals coming but you can skip me on the SGC reveals hahaha Have a good one! DK

[@pillows3ptb]

Really enjoy your videos. Fun straightforward concept. Thanks man. Enjoy the commentary along the way as well. Not taking cards too serious. Love it.

[@3gslabs483]

Great sub! Love all the variety in different cards. I have been doing really good with my reveal videos as far as accuracy. I think PSA is doing a good job. I cant wait to see more. You gained a new subscriber!

[@brandonhendrix5855]

Love your videos and would love to see more graded submissions video. Thanks

[@jonathanlupfer5262]

I need to get some of my One Piece, Pokemon, Wixoss, GPK Chrome & sports cards graded eventually. Really cool results on these!

[@stephencifuentes5907]

Psa stands for PLEASE SUBMIT againe !😂 that purdy getting an 8 is Exactly why I don't grade my cards. They make no sense ! That purdy looks immaculate, makes no sense why it got an 8! 🤦🤦

[@Paul_in_FL]

Some nice grades! You know me being a non affiliated SGC shill but don't need to be a member of anything and it is 15$ flat under 1200$ plus the turn around in under 10 days! PSA HATES Die Cuts, I stopped sending to them because of something similar. Plus the SGC black back holders are great. There was a video weeks ago about a Montgomery Biscuit getting called up and the whole team going crazy in the clubhouse, fun watch. Keep on rippin'!

[@degenrips]

Junior Caminero he’s an absolute animal. SGC easily the best pricing and turnaround. I had a lot of tcg in the sub so I had to go PSA route. One day I hope sgc closes the gap on tcg grading.

[@Paul_in_FL]

@@degenrips Never really looked at their TGC stats, they do have specials on Poke' and such though inside the submission window. I have tons of Star Wars Autos and numbers to grade then a ton of Jets PC cards. Prob gonna be like a 150 card sub lol might just rip the band aid off before Xmas. That horse hair card is nuts though.

[@ThriftSchool]

Love these types of vids man. Keep em coming.

[@n.frankliniii3699]

Submitted my first ever cards for grading and went with SGC. Couldn’t be happier with their service. Approximately 10 day turnaround. Now to see how they sell.

[@degenrips]

I love sgc. I have no horse in the grading race.

[@n.frankliniii3699]

@@degenrips Me either. Took me a long time to decide to submit cards. One thing I new for sure was I didn’t want my cards gone for 2 months, especially if I’m trying to sell a card. On another note, beautiful One Piece cards. I collect those as well. Have no idea who the characters are or how to play the game but the cards are dope.

[@leeo3983]

Awesome video. Nice results for sure.

[@scottscollectingagain]

Nice one my friend. That Purdy should have been a 9. There is a little something I noticed in the top black but an 8 is ridiculous. Imo crack it and send to SGC. My first PSA submission is on its way back to me. So excited!

[@degenrips]

Post results on the KZbins good luck brotha

[@scottscollectingagain]

Thanks buddy! I’ll send you a link when I post.

[@Yeti09752]

Top to bottom centering looked kinda rough on that one imo maybe why the 8??

[@cademadson1917]

Definitely enjoy these videos

[@jebr28j]

Love the psa reveal video.

[@CollectorsFromDade]

Thank you for confirming my suspicions about the one piece gem rate. Definitely gonna submit a few.

[@HarupertBeagleton-dz5gw]

lol They don’t understand yet that screwing with the printers creates scarcity and increases profit

[@MW-nq2ge]

Cool show with the PSA

[@prolificcardcollector]

Did you grade that Van Gogh topps gallery baseball short print ? Or just sell it, I bet a 10 would be big money.

[@degenrips]

One corner was a bit soft I didn’t think it would 10 so I sold it

[@robjohnson5337]

Great question. That’s the nicest card ever produced, extremely rare. The Aaron Judge 1/1 he pulled is a close second.

[@godisgreat8462]

This was awesome

[@damiencaine7691]

Ive never had grading done, but looking to submit my 1st batch soon. I just need to figure out which 20 are worth it & have the best chance for a 10. I know their grading is suspect @ times & so im a little apprehensive about it. Any advice? Thx for the content & passion for the hobby- I stay tuned. Love 🤘

[@darkprince9900]

Crazy to me how psa loads them die cuts in. It's crooked and sealed up 💀 (Nor is it deserving an 8!). Still a very nice haul, I've been waiting for this return!

[@RetailRipper]

so crazy how the card market values a psa 9

[@T.R.U.T.H]

Lots of '90s inserts don't even exist in psa 10, soooo yea why not 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@wp8639]

SGC is in W. Yamato road in Boca Raton.

[@degenrips]

Lol yes it is

[@bennybreaks702]

I literally just bid on a Secretariat card 15 minutes ago. Lol. Same thing except numbered to 248.

[@GummieRipz]

That purdy seems perfect bro my Tom brady green got a10 but you should definitely crack and send back

[@IAmJoeJericho]

Send the Purdy card to SGC. Lots of card shops in Florida with SGC services.

[@ethanstein42]

Very nice test

[@ajtucker8098]

You need to come to a Blue Wahoos Biscuits game next season

[@robertmiles6805]

Not bad not bad 👏

[@jebr28j]

Corbin Psa 9 selling for less than raw price is totally stupid.

[@colburn6969]

Great Video & grading is where the real money is at degen & the brock purdy is unfortunately off centered real bad top to bottom & diecuts usually are hard to gem.......keep up these grading videos

[@robertslysz]

Great reads on the cards

[@HarupertBeagleton-dz5gw]

For real, he's just not some random degenerate card ripper off the street. Apparently he knows his stuff.

[@danielmitchell42]

I have a question as I have my first PSA bulk submission being reviewed. For your 10 grades, when PSA sends you the ultra magnified images, do scratches show up on the surface of your cards? I sleeved up new 2023 cards right after ripping packs, and to the naked eye the cards look mint, but PSAs images they sent back show that the card surfaces have some scratches that show up under the magnified lense. I’m wondering if I should basically expect not to get any 10s because of these scratches I see (that do not appear visible to the naked eye)? Or, is it common to see some magnified scratches and still come away with 10s?

[@RobertSmith-eb9xu]

They gotta keep the Purdy pop count down.

[@degenrips]

Definitely

[@starboy32]

you should use TAG grading. it's a computer analysis to grade the card not a biased game of profit margin crap like at psa and beckett. just my 2 cents. love the content.

[@gabeturner6451]

In theory that is great but they don't add value to your card so you are only paying for a report/pre-grade. That in itself could be worth the $20 for certain cards but I will say I buy FCG, TAG, CSG and all these other newer companies slabs and crack them to send to PSA to flip and I make good money doing it. They all cross very consistently for what it is worth so I agree that TAG and FCG especially are doing good work. But again, it all comes down to added value. And TAG is the only one offering a report which gives added reasons to use their services.

[@starboy32]

@@gabeturner6451 well unlike any other company, current value or not, tag is trustworthy so i will PC tag slabs until the rest of the world snaps out of the psa beckett scam fantasy

[@marketgotitall798]

Why does PSA not make a case exactly for die Cuts I mean they can't take their time

[@tommytwodimes-tntcardscoll6342]

Good stuff brother! Maybe I’ll send you the Ostberg auto /250 I have.

[@degenrips]

I would give it to him he collects his own cards

[@tommytwodimes-tntcardscoll6342]

@@degenrips let me know where to send it.

[@degenrips]

@@tommytwodimes-tntcardscoll6342 send to my P.O. Box and I’ll give it to him

[@bigstupidgrin]

When you realize the Corbin Carroll you have might be worth something if it grades well... edit: the centering is off enough to make me think nevermind...

[@hughporter399]

I've thought about getting a PSA membership but have been shy on pulling the trigger. Do you think it's worth it?

[@gabeturner6451]

If you do one bulk sub at $19 you'll basically pay for a year subscription on the per card savings. If you hit a $15 monthly special you can really make it happen.

[@moralsandvaluables7205]

You should film ripping one piece

[@BulletholeStudios]

i think the vertical centering on the purdy is pretty off

[@degenrips]

Yup that’s what it was

[@TheHubeef]

not anymore

[@danielkriefall5881]

Wow sucks Purdy could at least got a 9 or 9.5 really PSA , Secretariat cool card and another 8 woow 😮

[@HarupertBeagleton-dz5gw]

My problem with PSA openings is the slow play of the reveals and other attempts to build suspense are annoying. This wasn't bad at all. Talking about each card briefly before flipping it kept a good pace.

[@DrippyDad24]

I feel like die cuts are always tough to get a 10 just like the thick cards

[@DrippyDad24]

What is the special surprise. Do you need email address.?

[@DrippyDad24]

Nevermind I understand now

[@jbscardbreaks4389]

Sucks the Purdy was so off center top to bottom

[@Nogame7_Cards]

Purdy way oc top to bottom

[@degenrips]

Makes sense

[@DrippyDad24]

How come you don't make videos rippin one piece?

[@degenrips]

Next set I will

[@BigDirtDawg]

It’s bullshit grading die cuts with psa because they almost always automatically give them a 8 or 9 just because

[@Yankee1469]

Never send die cuts to PSA,everyone knows that. They never grade good
