  Hard disagree. What's the point of a video that is all about card condition differences if I speed through everything and don't take the time to actually show the damage? You can always watch it at 2x speed or just choose not to watch it. Given your other comment, I think I should have been even more detailed and explained even more.

  I’ve bought and submitted a ton of card rush cards to PSA this year For A-, I’ve gotten five PSA9s and once got a PSA10 For A, it’s a 70% PSA10 and 30% PSA9 For B, I’ve gotten Five PSA8s and one PSA7 For C, I’ve only bought it once and got a surprising PSA2

  What kind of cards were they? I'm glad to hear that you got some tens! But for me personally, this 10 ratio wouldn't be high enough to justify buying from them consistently, especially considering that you can find cards cheaper elsewhere with pictures.

  @@Dark_ibex Theyre all charizards mostly. There was a few Chameleon and Charmanders. I actually forgot to mention, I have gotten PSA9 two times from B condition as well for a storm front charizard and a delta charizard. These two are hardly ever available on the site though to buy From my most recent PSA submission I got a A- condition m charizard ex(x) UR for 29,999yen and it somehow got a 10. I’ve previously got two B condition 1996 charizard base sets and one got a 7 and one got a 8. Both cards were 19,800yen each on card rush The C condition card was also a base set Japanese charizard I got for 9,980yen in march. It got a PSA2 The times I remember off the top of my head for A condition resulting in PSA9 was one for a Charmander AR from 151, a Charmander Shiny from Shiny Stars.

  Not really, prices are pretty comparable across all stores in Tokyo. There isn't one best area or one best store. I find cards in stores that previously had nothing worth buying and vice versa. I also go home empty handed often because nothing I looked at was worth it. This is true for all the areas.

  the centering on those cards are still acceptable for a psa10 though

• 
  @pocketdreamau16 күн бұрын

  Yeah all those cards are definitely within parameters of a 10. Unless it's really egregious, you'll hit the ten 9 times out of 10.

• 
  @Dark_ibex16 күн бұрын

  The Mew is definitely too OC to get a 10 unless you get a blind grader. The other two, as I have mentioned in the video, definitely could get a 10, but it is simply not worth the risk with modern cards. If you get a 9 on a modern Japanese card, it's GG. Money wasted. Those two might very well be within 60:40 and thus, within PSA 10 parameters. The problem is that PSA is not consistent on this. In fact, PSA isn't consistent on anything. I've seen and gotten back myself too many 9s that were within 60:40. Just watched a video recently of someone getting wrecked with 9s on ultra modern Japanese for cards that were slightly OC, like the ones I talked about. The people who grade tons of tens also never mention all the cards they buy from Japan and then reject and resell raw. Cards with this centering are sometimes the ones people resell raw because it is simply not worth the risk. If these were older, more expensive cards, then yeah I would give it a shot, but not when they're ultra modern cheap Japanese cards.

• 
  @Dark_ibex16 күн бұрын

  @@pocketdreamau Certainly not the Mew, the other two would have a chance. See my reply to the other commenter though. But, even if they had a 9 out of 10 chance, that still means "not perfect cards". Many people online make it sound like Japanese cards are perfect. That was my main point with this myth.

• 
  @pocketdreamau16 күн бұрын

  @@Dark_ibex agree with the premise that japanese cards aren't always perfect. I just think psa is a bit more lenient than they have been on the past. I have recently had a lot of success with psa returns from my most recent trip to Japan. Most of the cards I submitted were marked for damage but ostensibly had no issues besides very slight centring and normal warping and still hit the 10. I think overall stores are often way too harsh in their appraisal. Obviously I'm not doing this on the scale that you speak of but if you are careful and meticulous it is pretty easy to grade modern Japanese. Really enjoy the videos, thank you for replying to my comment.

  The magnetic case works just fine with the T-stand. That's the beauty, you are not limited by the stand. I don't use magnetic holders or those that the lotus was in very often, though. You need perfect-fit sleeves for these holders, and I don't really like those. I just go the toploader route for raw cards.
