WATCH THIS before grading your Pokemon cards with PSA!

I will be revealing my first PSA return and telling you what you need to know before sending off your trading cards!

[@Knight_Of_The_Night]

For Modern cards, even getting a 9 will make your cards cheaper than a near mint raw. Especially if you factor in the cost for grading.

[@Poke_house]

Yes I agree! I think the best thing to do is probably just hold onto those. But with vintage a lower grade can be more than what it is raw!

[@justanoscar2526]

I was about to grade some of my cards. Thank you for the tips also the zaptos tag team is my favorite card from this vid

[@Poke_house]

Happy to help! Yes that’s one of my favorites! 🤩

[@jasonvtsportsguy2692]

Nice returns!!! Love the insight love the channel!! We are big fans of Tag Team cards!

[@Poke_house]

Thank you so much Jason that means a lot! Also, did you receive your giveaway!?

[@jasonvtsportsguy2692]

Yes!!! We have not opened yet!!! Thank you!@@Poke_house

[@Poke_house]

@@jasonvtsportsguy2692 ok great! Just making sure. I saw the shipping got delayed but glad it’s in your hands now 🙏

[@jimmmm]

there are some issue to be caution about in grading but i still think making a rew card into a slab is a neat process

[@Poke_house]

Yes I agree! It makes the card look amazing 🤩

[@johntyh]

That FA/ELESA's Sparkle VSU PSA number is really nice to look at ngl

[@Poke_house]

I know! One of my favorite trainer cards 🤩

[@Batminboes]

Verry nice video and a verry good thumbnail! Surprised you don’t have more views! Keep going with the content bro! I subscribed💪🏼

[@Poke_house]

Thank you I really appreciate that! Welcome to the channel glad you enjoyed it 🙌

[@michaelmcmillen4658]

Love that Snorlax. My favorite Pokémon by far

[@Poke_house]

That Snorlax is one of the best gold cards I think 🤩

[@JamesChen-mj1yi]

Just curious, what did you do to screen the cards before you sent it off? did you have your own criteria on deciding if a card was worth to send ? or did you just send it and hoped for the best?

[@Poke_house]

I pretty much just eyed them to be honest. Mostly focus on the card being centered, front and back. Make sure there’s no scratches on the surface or whitening on the back.

[@Phlegm187]

All it takes is a little plastic cracking to get back to raw value lol. Kinda surprised the Snorlax hit a 10 looked like it was heavy on the left for centering.

[@Poke_house]

Hahah yes! Trust me I’ve thought about it 😆

[@jahrastaeasygaming2372]

if you do this for short term quick profit you need to be more aware of what you are sending. if you do this for fun who cares about values. cracking plastic will add more trash to the planet. might as well keep it in the slab as the future value of that slab will of corse increase. that is if you can get your cards through the impending ww3 without too much nuclear burns.

[@jjsoutdooradventures6039]

How much did it cost you all said and done for the grading on all 20?

[@Poke_house]

It was about $400 including shipping!

[@PikaPulls]

Nice, cards!

[@Poke_house]

Glad you like them! Thanks 😁

[@fsi-world4442]

Great info

[@Poke_house]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching 🙌

[@i0387]

what site do you use to look at prices?

[@Poke_house]

There’s an app called Collx which gives you an estimate from the prices on eBay!

[@mannyfreshgaming9360]

Niceee

[@Poke_house]

Thanks! 🙏

[@salv02]

How long did it take to get them back after submitting

[@Poke_house]

It was about 2 months for this submission!

[@perrythorpe1832]

Moonbreon at the front?

[@Poke_house]

I wish 😂😭

[@bladerunner5516]

im struggling so hard to find out what my card is worth i want to grade it but can’t find how much its worth its a 1st edition holo machamp from base set i was wondering if you could help me find its price in a psa 9?

[@Poke_house]

Hey! Thanks for watching. Is it shadowless?

[@Poke_house]

I like the Toji profile pic by the way! 🔥

[@bladerunner5516]

@@Poke_housenope not shadowless

[@Poke_house]

@@bladerunner5516 I’m seeing it in between $150-$200 on EBay. That would be the closest estimate I’d say!

[@bladerunner5516]

@@Poke_house thanks so much I’m definitely gonna get it graded because i’ve looked at its condition and its perfect but the centering is a tiny bit off so i wanted to see its price in a 9 rather than a 10

[@user-wl4hf7ks9q]

Got a sub just for the SpongeBob scene🍻

[@Poke_house]

Can never go wrong with a SpongeBob scene 🤣 Thanks for watching!

[@Rainstormcuddling]

I wish I had the money to grade some cards but unfortunately I don't

[@Poke_house]

Sorry to hear that! Make sure you’re watching I do giveaways whenever I’m able to. I wish you luck!

[@user-wz4lq5oc4y]

gg psa9 basically is same price as raw card unless the card is quite old or expensive or low pop...hahaha that Gary vapoureon raw card is around $2-$5 lol

[@Poke_house]

Yes you’re right! Maybe I should kid break it out of there 😂😭

[@weetjijwel050]

So you didnt compare the 'raw' prices with the PSA ones? Thats a bit weird, no? But ah well, lesson learned...

[@Poke_house]

I didn’t compared them, I just thought I was going to to get a better grade 😢🙃

[@BibleBitz]

I can tell the first two were going to be 9's. Your centering is off. I would always suggest measuring the edges before sending them. That includes the back.

[@Poke_house]

Thank you so much for the feedback! I actually disregarded the back a lot of time and that’s where I went wrong! 😅

[@eevee1evolutionYT]

I really like this (´・ω・`)

[@Poke_house]

I’m glad to hear it! Thanks for watching 😃

[@maroskan1539]

The first few cards were very off center

[@Poke_house]

Thanks for letting me know! Guess that’s why they got 8s 🥲

[@chrischristophers618]

Lol I'm not understanding why these KZbin pokémon guys like showing more of the back of the card then the damn front with the grade lol next!

[@Poke_house]

I’ll do my best next time 🤣

[@CaptainChurrr]

Grading is a scam. Raw all the way

[@Poke_house]

Why do you think so my friend!?

[@claraalahmmar3174]

Or buy a psa 10 or raw i usually do that

[@Poke_house]

That’s a good choice as well!

[@GaryColon]

Why raw!?

[@bushrye8747]

Raw is good having the choice to put the the card in a binder or a top loader that takes less space than a graded card and still having that satisfied feeling with it sometimes even more its just a preference of the hobby. Yet agin you could say that about graded cards in a way Also you can shake the card in the psa and Cgc slabs Beckett on the other hand that’s some good protection

[@raytherocket2386]

Why are they 8 tho lol

[@Poke_house]

I don’t know I thought they would grade higher 😂😭😭

[@bad_atgames]

hahaha oh man only in card grading is an 8 or 9 ever a bad score 😂😂😂😂😂

[@Poke_house]

Hahaha I know right! 🤣

[@jonathanberrios585]

Lets go! is starting to get cringe after this video lol

[@Poke_house]

Haha definitely! Thanks for watching! 🙏

[@vincentcorbitt4507]

PSA and their nonsense pop control yaaassssss

[@Poke_house]

😂😆

[@weskarp7643]

The truth is you can't make money off of grading anymore. Don't be the sucker. Sell your non gem mint cards. Sell the cards ungraded and let someone else buy it and think they can get a 10.

[@Poke_house]

It could be risky! You just have to be okay with taking the loss I think
