PSA Blind Basketball Reveal Part 1-of-3 🔥 CRAZY 💎 Ratio! Ja! Zion! Luka! Joker!

It's been a while since I've had a good ol' PSA reveal. I just got back a 57-card submission, and in this video I do a blind reveal of the first 20 cards. Spoiler alert: It was awesome! 😁

Jeez - the 10s were flowing for you! Love these PSA reveal vids!

[@SageTheCollector]

Flowin'! 😮

[@andrewrossi7164]

Nice return on the 1st 20 cards Sage, hope the rest of them from this set are good to brother, congrats 👍

[@SageTheCollector]

Thanks! Let's hope!

[@7LEVELCards]

Great returns. The Lamelo patch is a beautiful card.

[@SageTheCollector]

Indeed!

[@BigJBasketball]

Wow! Now that was an awesome return…so many 10s! I think my favorite was actually the Booker Revolution Galactic, the pop on a PSA 10 like that must be super low. Congrats on the return, can’t wait to see the rest!

[@SageTheCollector]

It was a great start for sure! And that D-Book is a great card to gem, because I don't PC him or really care about him, so I won't have any problem selling it, which is a very persistent problem for me. 😄

[@Bangpaulxu]

That red choice Zach is awesome!!! Great reveal video! 10sssssss🎉🎉🎉

[@SageTheCollector]

Indeed! 😍

[@vladzhuk]

Awesome reveal as always, really enjoyed it! - PSA did the same thing to half of my revolution cards... (your AD Auto) banged bottom left corner. I am like you i would never ever send card with such banged corners... - Love the Joker PSA 10, btw that between the legs backward pass he put english (spin) on it, i have never seen such high IQ player in my life. - HOOPS Winter vs Regular easier to find difference: names are written in gold foil vs silver. - patiently waiting for Part 2!

[@SageTheCollector]

Thanks, Vlad! Part 2 coming very soon.

[@SageTheCollector]

And, yeah, that AD auto bothers me. There’s a photo of it on my IG, and the bottom corner is fine. 😐

[@sharpcornercards]

Was a little nervous after the Crunch Time but from there it was Gems on Gems! Great returns, looking forward to Part 2. Happy holidays!

[@SageTheCollector]

Raining gems after I jinxed myself out of the gate 😄

[@joemarsh2050]

Sage what is your ebay name? Do u sell via auction or buy it now

[@JKRetroGaming]

Nice 10s. Thanks for sharing

[@SageTheCollector]

[@thesheriffess12]

This was honestly exciting to watch! And a massive congratulations to you for the tenners! Big smiles and energy your way, Sage. 😁Any number that contains 111 (and 11:11) is good luck. And I'm a huge sucker for Court Kings (my personal favourite from the card brands). Just wish it wasn't so expensive (and harder to obtain) over here in Australia. I have a "Dressed to Impress" LeBron #d of 25, a " Maestros" blue Zach LaVine #d to 25 (also a base "Graffiti Greats" and a "Silver" logo base card of Zach, as opposed to the common gold I've also got, which is odd), "Fresh Paint" Kaminga Rookie Auto #d to 25, "Rookie Expression" memorabilia for Franz Wagner and Jalen Suggs both #d to 25. A few others with autos number ranges up to 35, 49, 75, "red" based 149s (incl LaMelo, AD, Tyrese, Bones rookie "Works In Progress"), 199 numbered ones, and a spare Ayo Acetate. Fun and rather sexy cards, but I'm not surprised they'd be super hard to grade due to the graffiti-like, dimpled textured style of each card. Looking at your "Modern Strokes" for Ja, the centering of the title is a wee bit off to the right. Only minute, but the "S" at the end is a millimetre or two to the right card edge compared to the "M" on the left. The back right side (going by the two logos top/bottom) is also off centre from the edge. I'm guessing *maybe* that tiny shift could have dropped it to a PSA 9? Other than that, I can't see why either. That's harsh. 😓 Then again, I'm staring at a computer screen lol.

[@thesheriffess12]

Note, I've never sent any cards in to PSA, Court Kings or otherwise, so probably don't bother listening to me! I don't think the shipping from here would even be worth it. Heck, probably cheaper for me to purchase a yacht, sail over and hand them in person - than ship it. ... who tf is Joe Ingles? 🤭

[@SageTheCollector]

Thanks! Those are some sweet cards!

[@CMills-ho5hl]

Good reveal I my self have to send some to psa great grades

[@SageTheCollector]

It's still $15/card until the end of the year I think (and maybe permanently)

[@cubbiepulls]

Nice sub! I gotta send in my lamelo and antman stuff still.

[@SageTheCollector]

You've got another week for the $15 tier (unless PSA just extends it again)

[@bradmccubbin1569]

Congratulations!

[@SageTheCollector]

Thanks, Brad! 🙌🏻

[@murdoc214]

the left top corner of the luka 1st card has also a white corner that's why it was an 8

[@SageTheCollector]

Yeah, the corners were definitely not great.

[@SpursCards21]

Raining gems??? One man’s treasure is another man’s trash 🤪🤪 Bold move cotton subbing so much base 🤪🤪 I have noticed your values are always way off! I’ve said it before and I just said it again 😀😀 Looks like you FINALLY got some better scissors! I was about to fast forward when I saw you bring them out and then stopped when it didn’t take 10 mins 🤪🤪 I didn’t even know there was press proofs in crunch time! Learn something new everyday 😀 for some reason crunch times are hard to grade, I got a 8.5 on a Lebron. Very nice Galatic! PSA spelled it wrong! That’s how it’s spelled on the back 😀😀

[@SageTheCollector]

Hate to say it, but those are the same scissors. 😉

[@SageTheCollector]

Only you could call getting a 75% gem ratio "trash" 🤦🏼‍♂

[@liambrock3831]

As an Australian, there isn't a NBA fan here that wouldn't want that card! Lol

[@SageTheCollector]

😁

[@sly-1429]

POOLE PARTY!!!!

[@SageTheCollector]

🌊🏖

[@gradedcards5516]

yeah, any good cards it pays to take a photo...highly doubt you would have missed that clearly flawed corner on the AD auto card

[@SageTheCollector]

I agree. I found an old photo of the card, and the corner was fine. And it's been sitting in a top-loader ever since. 😐

[@CMills-ho5hl]

Gotta take pics nbvids before ubsub because it it's a 9 then it woulda been a 10 ..n then n they have to pay u for a psa 10 value

[@SageTheCollector]

Not sure that's how it works, but that would be nice 😉

[@Mr.Reggie-Historyclass]

What’s the full process of sending to PSA or is there a good video to watch to know how to do it

[@SageTheCollector]

It's not too hard. You have to be a PSA Collectors Club member, which is $99/year I think? You fill out a form on the PSA site, and add each card you're submitting. Then you put the cards in Card Savers and ship them to PSA. It's definitely a multi-step process, but PSA has pretty good instructions on their site. I like doing it myself, but you can also just let someone else do all the work like PC Sports Cards. I know Big J uses them.

[@vindzemedze]

your preference? PSA, BGS, or SGC?

[@SageTheCollector]

PSA all the way
