I Sent My Pokémon Cards To Degree Grading- Full Review

[@Andy-zz9zz]

Sent my stuff to degree, I think they will be a top company soon from sending your cards in to getting them back it’s super easy and they are consistent. Although their grading is tough, but fair. They definitely don’t hand out 10’s which is a good thing in my opinion. Haven’t had a 10 yet from them just sent in another bath

[@keithbarron7456]

Honestly grading is usually done the same way. You're just paying for the brand. You can buy a black shirt for 7 bucks but if you buy the same black shirt made by Nike, just with that logo, the price is now 30 or 50 bucks! I think it's stupid!! We're just always told PSA is better, but they are getting more expensive, and bad reviews now. It's time we take them out! Go somewhere cheaper and get your card graded! It most likely the same way!

[@treysomerandomnumber]

You’re absolutely right. PSA just has better marketing. That’s literally it.

[@AnthonyGiallourakis]

Thank you for this review TTP. I think for getting your non PSA 10 category chase cards graded, slabbed, and to prove they are genuine, this service at these prices make a lot of sense. Take a typical $20 card you might buy on EBAY. Maybe it's a bit off centered and you know it's not going to pull a PSA 10, but it's a 9 or 8. Send it in to these folks and for $15 more, you get something someone else might give you $50-$70 for. I think there is a market for that kind of collector who wants something slabbed and graded but doesn't want to pay $250 for something just a very little bit better (PSA 10 of the same card). I will try this service thanks to your video.

[@coalfactorys6277]

I think the presentation of the labels and the case itself is what shows how professional the company is or wants to be. Bgs labels are very high end looking these labels looks like something made from Microsoft paint. If the labels were made high end and sleek I think these new companies would be taken a bit more seriously. The effort you put into your product and website shows alot about the companies dedication to quality and providing a product that is competitive to its rivals.

[@darthhull85]

There’s literally nothing wrong with their branding. Hell of a lot better than the sterile label PSA uses. This is nice and clean and consistent with their branding

[@paulwilson4283]

Sending off my 5 for $50 tomorrow, can't wait to get them back! Sent in all green cards to match the labels, nothing expensive just stuff to look good

[@A12-b1x]

Thanks for the review Top 10! The video along w the comments will help people make a decision

[@EN1GMA247]

We definitely need a few more companies out there to keep the market more competitive, but atm it seems not everyone wants to give the newer companies a break. Hopefully some do stick around to start and prove their worth. It's a shame though how those slabs have subgrades but you have to flip the slab and scan the code to see them, seems to kill the worth of having them really. Most people imo like to see all in one go, and some who have their slabs on display will fell like they've lost out a little having subgrades that are not visible, unless the slabs spun round and scanned. But yeah, that grade 11 thing is a bit weird and extra 😅

[@cogitoaprendo1017]

I just did my 5 for 50 a couple weeks ago. I checked my centering before submitting because I wanted to send my best cards. All centering was within the 60/40. I have been checking their certificates, and all 5 of mine received 8's. That being said, all surfaces got a 3, most edges got 2's and all centering got one, except for 1 card which got a 1. I will double check when I get them back, but kind of disappointed considering I checked the centering with a card check card. Curious, tough. Certificates are available for look-up, but have not received my bill yet. Looking forward to getting them back and checking them out. I think I am more saddened by the lack of variety. lol. I do love the look of the Degree labels and looking forward to seeing them in hand.

[@jeremydeetz3593]

Also, my son and I appreciate the videos you're putting out. The celebration vids really helped us in terms of what he had and needed to get.

[@samanthagray3201]

I agree, I think the best way to utilize the smaller companies is by sending cards you want to protect but won’t necessarily blow up in value

[@sterlinggrinnell4082]

Have to let you know they have started doing the sub grading on the back of the card slabs now. It's very nice and well I'm going to be doing a slab open and regrade. PSA is not one to give out 10s lightly and well I think PSA is alittle bias.

[@YocoWheelin]

I like the labels, nice and clean. I refuse to use, or buy CGC as I can't stand the label, they look super cheap.

[@staylifted2326]

And funnily enough cgc grades pretty hard so their values are usually higher end

[@eranderson26]

Do the cards move or shift around inside the slab at all from what you’ve noticed?

[@Soul21]

​@@eranderson26 Degree does shake as well as Psa, but weirdly enough CGC doesn't shake

[@marktrevor7674]

I think that all of these pop up grading companies just strengthen the brand of the big 3. More cards going into slabs that nobody wants leaving the ones in PSA/BGS/CGC cases less numerous and more desirable.

[@samafc1]

Yeah how I see it tbf, they need to rework their whole approach if to actually take on the big 3

[@Doors067]

right!

[@EriktheHeartless]

Thanks for the information, I have not had any cards graded yet but the more you know right.

[@coltoncollects290]

Nice Video! 👍

[@thunderbunny5780]

It has lower cost cause no one really cares about these card companies. The slab hold no value outside of the cards actual price. The labels look ugly. Not a fan of this grading service.

[@dragonfistX200]

YeahI'm not high on any of these new upcoming grading services. I can understand not going through PSA right now cause they charge $150 for submission but just go to cgc or beckett.

[@williambenoit8482]

Great company and In 10yrs will be a top 5 grading company watch. Love them only use them to grade all my cards

[@Mark-AnthonyJ]

Dude this company better thank you for sure. I’m sending my cards here from now on. Thanks.

[@Mark-AnthonyJ]

Plus the color coding will help with my library storage and categorizing.

[@Mark-AnthonyJ]

I got my cards back pretty quickly. This company is super legit and it’s easy to categorize my cards by the color of the grade as well. I wanted to come back and thank you after receiving my first batch. I’m sending all my cards there.

[@FitForeGolf_]

Thanks for this video. They just reached out to me. I plan on doing this. 👍🏻

[@buffpoketrainer]

Many thanks.. I place my order but haven't sent them because i had my doubts.

[@Dilemma009]

You should submit some off center. One with bad backing. Another with some kind of scratch or print line. To really understand how well or strict of grading they do. Good video though

[@DOC_951]

My brother, you were just at 10k now on the road to 13k, I think you’ve hit that exponential growth curve!!

[@richardburke3913]

Thank you for letting us viewers in on another option for grading

[@Top10Pokemon]

Thank you for watching!

[@evancarterlapwai]

Shouldn't all tens be 11s since u got perfect scores everywhere?

[@paulh909]

I agree with your comments about ACE grading regarding the coloured labels. Glad I weren't the only one! It's all about the simplicity of the label and not colour schemed that is different for every card

[@samafc1]

Yeah the labels should be plain the card is the art not the case n label, hate all the colours

[@jay-bdope5450]

I like how transparent you are with your promo 👍🏻 might send a few for reference 👌🏻

[@nelsonjosorioruiz]

Everything is great about the video but whats the website and how to grade your card would be a great video to make

[@lucypoopies]

The grading scale goes up to 11?... Let me guess, is Nigel Tufnel their CEO?

[@lupevaldovinos8800]

I will definitely send my cards here. PSA is too expensively and provide what i think is the same service of keeping cards protected 😁

[@MisterStubstep]

Thanks for this review! Never heard of them

[@Mark-AnthonyJ]

[@TKKCollector]

Nice to have some cards slabbed at these price points, especially if it’s just a hold. Of course, we are just binder people right now.

[@jerrysanchez5453]

I like the idea.wish they explained how you get the 11 grade.also like the price.just going to have to see how they do in the long term if it's going to give any values

[@motomon9848]

I looked into degree before and was not impressed. The three point grading system seems very strange.

[@Top10Pokemon]

Yea, they’re trying to be innovative, but it ends up being kind of meh.

[@Black_Magic_Pearl]

Their point system is too low. Very hard to establish a “grade” when there is such a small range. For example: mew had multiple edge and corner wear compared to Lillie but both got a 2/3. I do agree that the mew shouldn’t be considered 1/3 but there’s no in between

[@randomisedmaterial]

100% agree I was just about to say this too

[@ItZBIGHAM]

I think grading your cards just to have them protected in a slab for your collection is worth the money. But if your a collector like me and are looking for your graded slabs to be worth some value this would definitely not be the grading company to go through.

[@jessepolowin2339]

Degree 11? Is this company associated with Spinal tap or something?

[@UAintGotNoYeezys]

Hybrid grading approach is the best grading company meant for TCG. The custom labels look the best over any other company and the grading is very fair. I’d suggest them to you!

[@anthonysmiley3694]

I keep seeing these guys ads on Facebook and like you said I agree the pricing is phenomenal and labeling is beautiful. But without a huge boom in them they are just a way to get cards slabbed rather than make money off of

[@darylpoosay]

I feel like degree is worth a shot

[@Fragle81]

Considering THEY asked you to send in your cards I wonder if they gave you a better grade for your positive review (we’ll give you a higher than normal grade if you give us a great review kind thing)

[@deannapooler5952]

a degree 11 perfect is 100% across the board

[@Kiidxswagg51]

How does shipping a card work for them? Do they take money from me or does usps? I’ve never shipped cards to be graded but I really wanna

[@randommatt2240]

The Pokémon cards that are gold in your background are those fake or real

[@chrisrogers4467]

Do they grade dbz cards

[@jeremydeetz3593]

How can I tell if a 2 player starter set is first edition or reprinted? I got a few for Christmas over 20 years ago and I want to open them but I'm afraid to.

[@Goonielogic]

I wonder if crease is 1 and dents is 1 that adds to 11

[@Top10Pokemon]

🤷‍♂️

[@kody87patten]

Hi, Hello there. I'm a little confused. Could I get some help please? I have the submit forms printed out. On the page(card list) there's a small box saying IMPORTANT: You will be charged for return shipping costs with insurance solely based on the value that you write on this form(s). The Total is Value of the cards that I'm sending in is roughly $240.00. Are they going to hit me with the Insurance value of these cards and shipping plus the $50 for 5 cards?

[@kody87patten]

Is this going to cost me over $300 to grade 5 cards? I'm really confused.

[@pitydate]

Labels look way cooler than the super dull psa and cgc I really like the companies that color match to a card, even though I know it's more valuable to have the PSA ones. Slabs are inherently ugly and it's nice to see companies trying new things

[@xileets]

I'd like to know how hard it is to crack those slabs...

[@andresguerrero7833]

Degree take notes🥰😘

[@RedKnight.]

Better price than PSA

[@brotherlongshadow8854]

I hope this company makes it. It's a shame it kills the value of the card. Makes no sense. Shouldn't have to pay a fortune to some big company for a card that's value is lower than the price you pay to get it graded. Seems like an enormous rip off when those companies can afford to do it cheaper.

I don’t like ANY coloured label. I don’t like the fond and the lay-out of this company. It looks home brew. Just put a designer on the job. And yet, yeah just another grading company. Degree 11…doesn’t resonate. It looks better dan ACE grading, those labels are so stupid cheap. I stick to PSA. Worth wise the best option. How many grade companies will still pop up while psa is closed?…😄

[@Dilemma009]

I like competition. If they can fund a niche way of entering the scene. I agree with the 11 statement. Maybe it was done because 10+++ has been done. Yet 11 is odd lmao

[@dwah1986]

I hate that they put "Pokemon" and not "Pokémon" on the labels...

[@gromexecutive]

Good catch

[@turbo0589]

Can't say I like the lable, looks awful actually. I don't see these PSA wannabes doing well at all, there are too many of them and they all use PSA's cases which just shows how uncreative they are. Good video though!
