WHERE TO GRADE YOUR Pokémon cards in 2023?! Huge PSA & BGS Returns!

[@cherrybaby6797]

Grading makes me nervous, the whole process is so scary

[@DKCards]

Yeah I agree haha thats why I let my LGS handle it. I just give them the cards hahaha

[@Lurch-11]

I have first gen holo Lugia in perfect condition and I've been wanting to send it since pandemic but im terrified 😂 have a bunch of good ones. Had 2 charizards back in the day and gave one away in middle school to my best friend and can't find the other.. I'm pissed lol

[@Harvard_Fairway]

I remember a couple of years ago when PSA orders were taking 12-15 months to get back

[@DKCards]

Haha yeah I think during covid they were backed up by 120 ish days

[@xjamiec]

I've still got cards at BGS and I sent them like 4 or so months ago, got my PSA submission back way quicker

[@DKCards]

Yeah psa is way way quicker than BGS

[@danieljacques7321]

Sweet Entei, my 22 card submissions at “QA Step 2” now I’ll be getting my Gengar VMax Alt and Espeon Alts back. I wish I recorded my pulls because I got 2 Moonbreons already since the last video I commented on about being unsure of what to hunt. Pulled 2 Dragonite V alts and 2 Glaceon V alts and a Leafeon VMax Alt too. Gonna send my Moons to PSA I don’t wanna risk Beckett after watching you try to crack that slab lol nice One Piece cards too!

[@DKCards]

Hahahaah yeahhh if I had a moon bunny, I'd definitely send it to PSA as well my friend and jeeeeeezz...you have the golden pack luck 😂

[@iFOMO23]

Ive been putting up with your fart noises for a whole year?! Congrats bro! Keep up the AMASSING!

[@DKCards]

You are an absolute legend for doing so my friend haha and yes it has been now XD

[@iFOMO23]

@@DKCards Its been a pleasure bro! More farts to come🎉

[@dinerenblancc]

I've always said that BGS is a budget low end company masquerading as a premium company. It's run like shit. 0 customer service. Janky submission process. The list goes on.

[@DKCards]

Yeah even my LGS is a bit fed up with the wait times on BGS. they are telling customers like "are you sure? you are going to be waiting an obscene amount of time" even the BGS fans there are saying that lol

[@thecardboardgambler606]

I feel you on the graders at PSA hating you! If hate could kill, the graders at PSA would be on trial for murder one against me 😂

[@DKCards]

Hahahaha facts my friend 😂😂😂

[@gdsam14]

You should sit at their door/gate and tell them, I am NOT leaving until you give me my slab.. lol... 😂

[@DKCards]

They will take longer I bet hahaha

[@thecommoncollector]

You’re so lucky to live near BGS! Would it be the same turnaround time if you dropped them off in person vs mailing them in? I would imagine so. I love the look of bgs 😅

[@DKCards]

Lol still takes long unfortunately. My lgs drops off the cards in person....

[@thecommoncollector]

@@DKCards OOF lol

[@burgerguyhi9897]

Nice cards. Good grades. Wish you got a black label but pristine 10s are nice.

[@DKCards]

Yeah I did okay but wish I could have gotten one black label haha

[@PokeRob2788]

Solid grades! Solid video!

[@DKCards]

Haha thanks brother!

[@bsoleau8122]

psa took like 6 month for me and 1/3 got tens with every card being modern and picked out of a pile based on condition I assumed I would get 5-10 9s and ended up with around 23 with four 8s too😢

[@DKCards]

Ooof sorry to hear my friend 😭 and dang that's a ridiculous turnaround time to be fair. Was that a recent time? Or previously like last year?

[@bsoleau8122]

@@DKCards I think it was like the beginning of the year i do believe there is a reason for the low grades tho and that might have been declared value idk why but I thought it meant the raw value of the card so dv was super low on all of the cards and even though they don’t say it on there website dv definitely affects the grades lol

[@bsoleau8122]

@@DKCards I appreciate the response your vids are awesome btw!

[@maynormaldonado1282]

I’ll wait for Sunday I like watching your videos man reminds me of my own life, “Emotional damage “ 😅

[@DKCards]

Hahaha we suffer and have joy together my friend 😂

[@jonathanberrios585]

I got my psa submission at $15 a piece under TCG bulk submission 🙌 and it took like three months 😅

[@DKCards]

oooof i am sorry to hear that bro hahaha my psa subs come back in about a month or two max.

[@MrSquirtleiscool]

Awesome stuff!! One day I'll send stuff I know will get a 10 lol. But either ways... if you like whitebeard, you should just make that deck hahaha.

[@DKCards]

hahah just gotta do some quick checks brother and you should be good XD and nah man I REFUSEEE...but maybe..just so i can beat JT hahahaha

[@robertf4157]

You'll grade everyones card with a Philips head screwdriver.

[@DKCards]

Haha SUPER BLACK LABELS FOR EVERYONE!! 😂

[@sammy4638]

This made my day!

[@DKCards]

You legend!

[@PackageTotal]

My Bulk PSA has been at PSA now for 69 days and in Assembly for a week.....

[@DKCards]

oof...oh my days. Maybe its bc my lcs has a good contract with them? But yeah normally 1 to 2 months max for me :o

[@Pokeheat]

I could barely wait 2 months 120 days! …. No…. Sick cards!

[@DKCards]

yeah its a horrendous wait time to be honest. and thank you :D wanted a black label haha but maybe next time XD

[@Pokeheat]

@@DKCards I believe in you! Black labels soon!

[@MetaKhai]

120 is pretty wild lol😅

[@DKCards]

Insane is more like it lol

[@PokeRetroFan]

cgc grades my bulk submission in under a week at $10 a card

[@DKCards]

oh my days...I might need to try CGC now just for fun lol

[@DumbSchoolRP]

Nice dk!

[@DKCards]

Thanks my friend :D its been a minute! Hope you have been doing well :)

[@enuj2925]

The double-edged sword with grading😂 BTW the OF only 1 gold Chard out of 93 packs😅 Grats on those 10s.🎉🎉

[@DKCards]

haha thanks my friend. And 1 gold charizard from 93 packs? lol that isnt toooo bad honestly XD

[@enuj2925]

@DKCards My mission was to get Ninetails, Cleffa, and Geeta 😆 🤣 The pulls were not too bad. I got all Pidgeot evolution. I'll give it till the end of the month, then I can just buy those shingles at a good price. 😊 🙏 ty in all, not including the exs, it was 18 hits.

[@dennislim9885]

How are u not in Yokohama!!

[@DKCards]

Lol I missed out 😂

[@dinerenblancc]

14:56 You fucked up your editing

[@DKCards]

Thats what happens when I am on discord all night and edit until 3 am XD

[@fire_breathing_hamster]

Early

[@DKCards]

Legend!

[@prodigioustcc]

Awesome video man, it is crazy how long the turn around times are for BGS. I have never sent anything away to be graded but I may with those japanese alt art one piece cards i pulled. My favorite slab is the Luffy but the graders did that card so dirty lol. Keep up the phenomenal work man.

[@DKCards]

haha always appreciate you bro! and yeah the turnaround times are dookie. AND yeah man you should. Black labels incoming hahaha and honestly dude...it might be bc that one was from a sleeve. Maybe poor qc.

[@MrMuscleman1990]

I agree with BGS black labels being scams but damn those black labels look really cool. I have a lot of cards I wanna grade with BGS but the turnaround time is preventing me seriously 120 days?

[@DKCards]

Yeah its been getting longer and longer...they are supposed to be a big company so idk what is wrong with them

[@DaddyPig45ACP]

Looking forward to the Hot Rod show on Sunday....Vroom Vroom 😜

[@DKCards]

HAHAHAHAH its going to be hot with zards...for sure...hopefully XD

[@shyton3047]

Bgs stackin lol took 1 card for 6 months lol

[@DKCards]

Lol for real thouhg...toooo long

[@epik-3109]

Showing off the black label 🏷️ lol😊

[@DKCards]

HAHAHA got to do it...the only one..im ever going to pulll...probably hahaha

[@Hengsha]

PSA has for sure gotten stricter in the past 8 months, 4 sepp orders I've sent all way stricter grades than in the past. Esp on full art trainers eng and jp

[@DKCards]

Yeahh it's definitely gotten a bit more strict and getting 10s has been a bit rough

[@Cwilly315]

If I grade my cards I want to go with SGC because the slabs look the best to me.

[@DKCards]

Solid choice man, cant go wrong with their tuxedo for sure lol

[@familyfunflatwithjess7090]

Uncle roger 😊

[@DKCards]

Funny dude 😂

[@familyfunflatwithjess7090]

It was a suprise and then you asked what best card was...hahaha liken the talks and they'll.. and 120 days,.yeah get the act together..it's impossible for me in nz to want to send my cards away..it would take years to get back
