Look, this is why we have a "junk slab era" - collectors are slabbing anything and it's only a matter of time before the bottom falls out on most cards - especially stuff from the junk wax era and ultra-modern.. I mean some of these pop reports are ridiculous - and keep in mind when you have a card slabbed (excluding vintage) you may as well be dropping it's value just by having it slabbed because you're adding to the population - regardless of the grade. I've been in the hobby/business for almost 40 years and have been flipping cards for just as long so obviously as a dealer I have slabs, but I really try to stay away from modern and ultra-modern base slabs unless they're GOATS because the market is too saturated with base 10's so when I do buy modern and ultra-modern cards I try to stick to rare inserts, parallels, relics, auto's and serial numbered cards - preferably less than /399 because this hobby is going to have the same issue we had back in the mid-to-late 90's and early 2000's when the effects of the junk wax era hit the hobby hard. At the moment the card manufacturers are making the same mistake they made then (and they think they're fooling long-time collectors) - they're printing the same amount of cards they printed back in the junk wax era and merely issuing them in 100's of various sets.. Don't get me wrong - I really-really like some of the sets - especially Topps Heritage and Archives mostly because primarily I'm a vintage collector and I deal in mostly vintage so Heritage and Archives really hit's the spot and satisfies my desire for vintage and ultra-modern - but again - I don't really buy them to flip because in reality they may as well be novelties unless I pull something or find something in the wild that meets my criteria for buying.. Look, I'm just saying I have absolutely no idea why collectors are still breaking junk wax with the intention of slabbing these abundant cards because from an economic perspective - it's not going to workout in the long-term.. Sure, a PSA 10 could regularly sell presently for $80 - but it's only a matter of time until that particular card has a pop count of 20,000 with a 10 ratio of 40% - meaning 8K of the 20K of that particular card are graded a 10. Now ask yourself (and of course this depends on the card), are there 8,000 collectors out there in the wild that actually WANT a 10 of that card?? I mean if there is then it's not like there is any pressure on the collector to pick one up because a 10 isn't rare at all!... Of course this is why I generally stick to rare cards - more specifically rare cards of GOATS and notable players that are on track for a HOF career because the demand will always be there.. For example - if I have a Hank Aaron serial numbered /99 graded a PSA 10 - there are only 99 of those cards in existence and not all of them will grade a 10 so that makes that card "special", moreover rarer than it already is - and collectors like special rare cards, lol.. Collectors like the idea of having cards other collectors don't.. I guess what I'm trying to say is that - long gone are the days when a pristine 10 was something rare, something to brag about or to show off (depending on the card of course) because generally there is no shortage of 10's for the strong majority of cards produced after 1980. Of course there are exceptions - not only that - but the pop count can only tell you so much about a particular card, just because a card has a low pop count or a low 10 ratio - that doesn't mean it's a rare card by any means, nor does it imply that 10's are scarce - what it means is that the card probably isn't worth the grading fee - even if it came back a 10 because no one wants that card.. I mean a 1989 Topps #216 Jack Howell may have a pop of only 30 with a handful grading a 10 - but that does not mean that particular card is scarce, nor does it mean that cards scarce in high-grade - it means that no one wants an 89 Topps Jack Howell, lol... Since I'm writing a thesis now I figured I would point that out because that's precisely what collectors/dealers are doing now - they're just slabbing more crap with lower pops hoping for a 10 so they can take advantage of some of the more ignorant people in the hobby - that's the "new thing", lol.. Slabbing 1987 Topps Tom Seaver's or other less desirable cards of the GOATS, and even semi-stars and commons.. Let me point out that none of that applies to vintage - vintage has the opposite problem - there aren't enough high-grade vintage cards to meet the insane demand, moreover I cant think of any particular vintage card at the moment that's relatively over-saturated or has a pop counts even remotely close to ultra-modern cards... Of course the vintage GOATS have been graded a lot but there are many reasons for that, but even then there still isn't enough to meet demand. So yea, if your goal is to turn $3.50 into $80 bucks then I would put down the 1990 Topps and strongly suggest spending that $3.50 on a raw high-grade vintage card and having that bad boy slabbed - it doesn't mater if it's a GOAT, star, semi-star or a common because if it grades above average then it's an easy flip.. Look, if you know vintage cards you can make some significant money buying vintage to slab and flip or just flipping raw vintage, and you can take your time doing it unlike with modern cards because the vintage market has always been stable, which of course is why many collectors feel comfortable investing in it... The problem with ultra-modern is that your investment depends on a players performance, and if you buy a hot rookie right now, by the time it's submitted for grading and returned that player might not be hot anymore - even worse - he could be injured.. So yea, modern and ultra-modern is way too risky for me, and honestly I would liken it more to gambling than anything else, lol..

I appreciate your opinions, but what does that have to do with the pack that the dude found a Topps football pack in a box of cards he bought, decided not to sell it on eBay for the going price of $3.50 opened it, and pulled about cards he can grade and sell fro about $80 from it?
@CMGCollectDirectTeam10 күн бұрын
You do understand that I didn’t buy a 90 Topps football cello to open and find cards to slap, right? It was a single pack in the bottom of a huge lot of cards that I bought. So the real question is what would you have done if you found a 90 Topps Fleer Cello back ??? I had two options, sell it on eBay for $3.50 or open it and see if there were any Hall of Famers or GOATS worth grading. In my opinion Aikman is a Goat. As for the other two players, Reggie and Bo having an alternative grader grade the cards and slab them made financial sense. So I basically agree with the essay you wrote, but not sure what it has to do with the information shared in the video, or maybe you didn’t watch it and just commented on the headline?

There’s a reason PSA, BGS, and SGC cards sell for money than 2nd rate companies. A 1987 Topps GEM 10 sold for $29.99. A PSA 10 sold for $400. People like you are exactly why sports cards dealers get bad reps.

You obviously missed the point. Of course if it makes sense financially you should grade your cards with the BIG 3. However what many don't understand is that THERE IS A TIME AND PLACE for alternative grading of CERTAIN CARDS, when you close your mind to this fact, you lose money! I am not trying to convince you, however a rigid mindset prevents many in the hobby and profiting at the level they could be.

@@CMGCollectDirectTeam Most people that collect sports cards do so because they enjoy the hobby. Not because they’re looking to flip cards and hope to turn a profit. Some cards have quick turnarounds in profit (some rookie that explodes on the scene would obviously turn a quick profit) Some cards take a long time to profit from, and others will not profit or may decline in price. There’s a lot of bad information out there about this hobby. Card prices were never higher than they were in October/November of 2020. I remember seeing 1986 Jordan PSA 7s selling for 10K-12K. Bird/Magic PSA 8 rookies selling for 10K. Card values have steadily gone down. Much like everything else, the market value is driven by supply and demand.

It requires a lot of time and is definitely going to cost you money before you even get a chance to make a profit. You have shown what you bought, but not what you actually sold and how much you actually make and how much time was invested. You are being deceitful by ommission and by saying that anyone can do this. The statements you have made are just like the ones that "pumped and dumped" cards in the 80's and 90's that led to the huge collapse of the industry previously.

Please, get the cards graded and sold in your ebay store and show the actual sales and profits, after grading, fees and shipping. Those 3 cards could be "slam dunks" but most of what you bought, will not make you the fast, easy money you think they will. You haven't made your money yet, but you are trying to build a following of "entrepreneurs" like an Amway recruiter. Spending all of the time that you have spent, the fuel, the fees and shipping costs to get them graded, to get them back and then to ship them to the buyer will eat up what you think is profit. Also... Big League? You think you will profit on Big League cards? They are the cheap cards for kids. The only things that make money are the short prints and autographs and they aren't even guaranteed 1 per box and sell slowly and for little money. You really don't know the sports card industry as a seller and you should stop promoting something you haven't actually done.

@CMGCollectDirectTeam No, I am not the one that said that. I did say that you have not shown any evidence of your profits in the video that you keep pushing like an Amway Sales Leader. You can make profits selling cards, I never said you can't. I said there is no reason to promote this as a viable business for an entrepreneur wanting to make money every month. It isn't a "paint-by-number" business that guarantees profits. You have never spoken of the possibility of losing money. You haven't ever mentioned sitting on cards for a year before selling them. You show cards you drove hours to buy and how much you think you will get for them after using alternative grading companies, but no actual evidence of a profit. That is what I said. You don't mention the actual time and money invested to potentially make a profit. I just want you to be honest about the business. I watched a few of your videos of ripping packs and I enjoyed them. I subscribed to your channel to be sure to be able watch more. Then you started pushing your "system" and talking about entrepreneurs can make good money selling sports cards. You only talk about making money. You haven't mentioned the actual time and money for someone to "copy/use" your process. That is what I have said. Repeatedly.

I am looking forward to seeing what this grading card company has to offer and at what price point they end up at. I don't like the possibility of a paid membership to use it. I don't like the 50 submission minimum. If you don't offer all sports for sale, you will see the drop of the market, when those sports aren't being played, so it isn't an alll year round business. To suggest to someone outside of "the hobby" to do this as an extra source of income is very speculative and they would probably be better investing in the stock market. If you have a personal collection that you enjoy owning and will be fine if your cards don't sell, then you are in a good position. If you are trying to "flip cards," there are probably 90% that will fail and lose money, if not more.

@CMGCollectDirectTeam If the cards don't look good in their encapsulation/ holder, then people will not put as much money into buying them. There are multiple reasons for SGC doing well. The "Tuxedo" look of the slab, the fast turn around for grading, the lower price to get graded and the multiple years of grading consistency. This has lead to their slabs being valued equaly and sometimes higher than PSA.

Unfortunately, PSA has been found to be less reliable for grading. They have been embarrassed by people sending in fake cards and paint / marker added cards that have been authenticated as real by PSA. Their fees are getting much more difficult to calculate, and you pay more to get a "perfect card" graded by them. The wait times are much longer than other companies. They have a "Membership" program that seems to increase the likelihood of getting better grades. They bought out their biggest competitor, rather than fixing their own flaws to compete. They are using their clout to bannish people in the industry that proved their ineptitude of card grading (Kurt's Card Care). They have accused people of "Altering" cards in a way that will make them look better now, but return to a damaged/stained appearance while in the PSA holder over time. They have submitted ZERO EVIDENCE of this, yet have banned people over the issue, while they have no way to detect a "Cleaned Card." It would be laughable if it didn't affect the industry as much as this has. I have not "Cleaned" any cards, but I know it has been done for over 35 years. I am an artist who paints with acrylic paints and water colors. If someone damaged a painting or got it dirty, I have ways to clean and / or repair it and this is totally acceptable, but do something to salvage a small piece of cardboard that people consider history, don't do that! We should probably throw away the Declaration of Independence, because it has been "cleaned/restored." Wake up! "THE KING HAS NO CLOTHES!" I have many PSA graded cards as well as cards graded by other companies. I want them all to be held to a high standard, as any company who claims to have high standards should.

I mean a 1989 Topps #216 Jack Howell may have a pop of only 30 with a handful grading a 10 - but that does not mean that particular card is scarce, nor does it mean that cards scarce in high-grade - it means that no one wants an 89 Topps Jack Howell, lol... Since I'm writing a thesis now I figured I would point that out because that's precisely what collectors/dealers are doing now - they're just slabbing more crap with lower pops hoping for a 10 so they can take advantage of some of the more ignorant people in the hobby - that's the "new thing", lol.. Slabbing 1987 Topps Tom Seaver's or other less desirable cards of the GOATS, and even semi-stars and commons.. Let me point out that none of that applies to vintage - vintage has the opposite problem - there aren't enough high-grade vintage cards to meet the insane demand, moreover I cant think of any particular vintage card at the moment that's relatively over-saturated or has a pop counts even remotely close to ultra-modern cards... Of course the vintage GOATS have been graded a lot but there are many reasons for that, but even then there still isn't enough to meet demand. So yea, if your goal is to turn $3.50 into $80 bucks then I would put down the 1990 Topps and strongly suggest spending that $3.50 on a raw high-grade vintage card and having that bad boy slabbed - it doesn't mater if it's a GOAT, star, semi-star or a common because if it grades above average then it's an easy flip.. Look, if you know vintage cards you can make some significant money buying vintage to slab and flip or just flipping raw vintage, and you can take your time doing it unlike with modern cards because the vintage market has always been stable, which of course is why many collectors feel comfortable investing in it... The problem with ultra-modern is that your investment depends on a players performance, and if you buy a hot rookie right now, by the time it's submitted for grading and returned that player might not be hot anymore - even worse - he could be injured.. So yea, modern and ultra-modern is way too risky for me, and honestly I would liken it more to gambling than anything else, lol..
I appreciate your opinions, but what does that have to do with the pack that the dude found a Topps football pack in a box of cards he bought, decided not to sell it on eBay for the going price of $3.50 opened it, and pulled about cards he can grade and sell fro about $80 from it?
You do understand that I didn’t buy a 90 Topps football cello to open and find cards to slap, right? It was a single pack in the bottom of a huge lot of cards that I bought. So the real question is what would you have done if you found a 90 Topps Fleer Cello back ??? I had two options, sell it on eBay for $3.50 or open it and see if there were any Hall of Famers or GOATS worth grading. In my opinion Aikman is a Goat. As for the other two players, Reggie and Bo having an alternative grader grade the cards and slab them made financial sense. So I basically agree with the essay you wrote, but not sure what it has to do with the information shared in the video, or maybe you didn’t watch it and just commented on the headline?
Are you taking the PSA grading into account for the overall value?
Not sure what you are asking. Did you watch the video?
All the ones you looked at was tiffany cards that was selling for high prices.
Yes, as we explained at the end of the video, not sure if you got that far.
Fleer Football Pack Pull in a pack of Topps? Weird.
Great video Dale. Another tool for the toolbelt.
Thank you, yes sir, that is what it about , giving yourself different systems and options.
😮😮😮😮😮
Wow!!! Second card!!!
Thank you for some frank and honest commentary about the hobby. Some very helpful advice regarding the speculation and hype that can become very costly and detrimental to the hobby. Thank you for the video!
#strongwork. Always appreciate the information and your knowledge and time. Much respect.
🤔
Always appreciate the heads up. #strongwork.
Dale always outstanding information and video content. Much respect. #strongwork.
I appreciate that
LMAO!! This is such FALSE info. The grading company ABSOLUTELY matters in regard to the value of, and legitimacy, of a card. Stop lying to people, Dale. There’s a reason PSA, BGS, and SGC cards sell for money than 2nd rate companies. A 1987 Topps GEM 10 sold for $29.99. A PSA 10 sold for $400. People like you are exactly why sports cards dealers get bad reps.
You obviously missed the point. Of course if it makes sense financially you should grade your cards with the BIG 3. However what many don't understand is that THERE IS A TIME AND PLACE for alternative grading of CERTAIN CARDS, when you close your mind to this fact, you lose money! I am not trying to convince you, however a rigid mindset prevents many in the hobby and profiting at the level they could be.
😶
@@CMGCollectDirectTeam Most people that collect sports cards do so because they enjoy the hobby. Not because they’re looking to flip cards and hope to turn a profit. Some cards have quick turnarounds in profit (some rookie that explodes on the scene would obviously turn a quick profit) Some cards take a long time to profit from, and others will not profit or may decline in price. There’s a lot of bad information out there about this hobby. Card prices were never higher than they were in October/November of 2020. I remember seeing 1986 Jordan PSA 7s selling for 10K-12K. Bird/Magic PSA 8 rookies selling for 10K. Card values have steadily gone down. Much like everything else, the market value is driven by supply and demand.
Would you be interested in a very valuable stamp collection? My great grandfather just passed away and left me a pretty big collection. Let me know! Thanks!
Thanks for your message, I do not collect stamps or really know much about them. I would check for a local stamp/coin shop in your area and speak with them would be my suggestion.
I love the set thinking of picking up a psa10 of Elly since I want one of his rookies.
Thank you for your feedback. I think Elly is a genrational player and picking up his cards is my focus right now.
I am still waiting for evidence of your "paint by number system." You keep showing "great deals" but have not actually shown the proof of your "big payoff." We only see you buying, but not using your "system" to complete the turn-around that yields your "profits for entrepreneuraly minded individuals." Proof. Show consistent proof.
I am sorry you have obviously had a bad experience with the sports card market. If there is anything I have learned over the years is "People convinced against their will is of the same opinion still" The math is the math, it is right in front of you, example after example on our website at www.cmgsportscardinvestments.com . I have no hope that you will be able to get out your calculator and do the math for yourself. Sports cards investing is not for everybody, it is probably not a good fit for you, but I hope you find your niche.
You are not getting graded 10 cards in a lot that looks like this.
There will be 3 -5, but you don't need any graded cards at all to make huge profits with this lot, we recouped our investment in 24 hours selling 6 cards.
Just like I said before, you are acting like an Amway Recruiter, trying to talk people into thinking this is an easy system to make money, like "paint-by-number." There is a chance to make money, but it is a slim chance to be consistently successful. It requires a lot of time and is definitely going to cost you money before you even get a chance to make a profit. You have shown what you bought, but not what you actually sold and how much you actually make and how much time was invested. You are being deceitful by ommission and by saying that anyone can do this. The statements you have made are just like the ones that "pumped and dumped" cards in the 80's and 90's that led to the huge collapse of the industry previously.
If it is not beyond obvious that anyone who bought this lot could profit with it there is nothing I can say to that. People see what they want to see. "A person convinced against their will is of the same opinion still" Sorry you had a bad experience, but we all must take resposibility for the mistakes we make. I don't really care if someone decides to enter the card market or not, and some people SHOULDN'T, I think you are proof of that statement. Have a good week.
Just bought some, yeah!
Congrats!
Alternative grader company?

Nah. Stop trying to sell kids on bs apps and shit grading. Either spend to psa or don't waste the plastic. This graded card nonsense has gotten so old. And you all shilling for these cheap knockoffs make it so much worse... stop encasing you're shitty card so some gullible kid buys it thinking it's worth anything. Be better... stop letting greed make you do low end shit like the kids of today on sports card youtube.
Awesome video Dale! Very helpful information.
Glad it was helpful!
If the Pokémon cards are rare they also sell. $20 scratcher
Sorry, not that familiar with Pokemon, focus most only baseball and sports cards.
Gonna retire early!
If you love what you do, you never work a day in your life!
Removed my comment? 😂
Have no idea what you are talking about or who you are, only comments we remove are those with vulgar lanaguage. How can I help you?
that was a pretty funny troll
Not sure what you are talking about, would you like to expand your thought?
interesting. Not for me. Good luck.
Congrats on your own self-awareness. This market is definately NOT for everyone, but everyone could do it with the right education.
Please, get the cards graded and sold in your ebay store and show the actual sales and profits, after grading, fees and shipping. Those 3 cards could be "slam dunks" but most of what you bought, will not make you the fast, easy money you think they will. You haven't made your money yet, but you are trying to build a following of "entrepreneurs" like an Amway recruiter. Spending all of the time that you have spent, the fuel, the fees and shipping costs to get them graded, to get them back and then to ship them to the buyer will eat up what you think is profit. Also... Big League? You think you will profit on Big League cards? They are the cheap cards for kids. The only things that make money are the short prints and autographs and they aren't even guaranteed 1 per box and sell slowly and for little money. You really don't know the sports card industry as a seller and you should stop promoting something you haven't actually done.
Sounds like you had a bad experience with sports cards. As I said in the video “I am patient”. Nowhere have you heard the words, fast easy money come out of my mouth! I have been making profits with sports cards since 1991 !!
@CMGCollectDirectTeam When you talk about it being a way to make 3xtra money every month and how much you make is up to you, that insinuates that there is consistent income. At no time have you mentioned this "entrepreneur venture" could be a total failure and a loss of money nor that it can take a long time to see actual profits. You are not telling the whole truth, especially if you have been doing this since 1991.
@@jpacrylicstudio145I watched this guy debate Always Marco and Marco absolutely shredded him! As a sports card collector since 1987, this Dale guy has zero clue about the sports card market at all, or how it works. He’s an MLM recruiter. Nothing more. Nothing less. Guys like this absolutely ruin the hobby.
I have been making profits with sports cards EVERY MONTH, for years. Did you really say, " he only things that make money are the short prints and autographs " Who told you that? Short prints and autographs fo THE RIGHT PLAYER are fine and great investments if you hold them for at least a year. Every month, I go over my buys and sales for the month for our Beta Members. A couple of these videos are available to the general publick at www.cmgsportscardinvestments.com There are literally dozens of ways to make profits with sports cards, I have been making profits EVERY MONTH with sports cards for years,. A. What I do works because my focus is on all stars, hall of famers and generational talant and I am patient. I don't rely on quck flip flawed strategies. There is no need to comment on videos until you understand exactly what we do, AND WHY IT WORKS as previously stated there are videos for the public at cmgsportscardinvestments.com .
@CMGCollectDirectTeam No, I am not the one that said that. I did say that you have not shown any evidence of your profits in the video that you keep pushing like an Amway Sales Leader. You can make profits selling cards, I never said you can't. I said there is no reason to promote this as a viable business for an entrepreneur wanting to make money every month. It isn't a "paint-by-number" business that guarantees profits. You have never spoken of the possibility of losing money. You haven't ever mentioned sitting on cards for a year before selling them. You show cards you drove hours to buy and how much you think you will get for them after using alternative grading companies, but no actual evidence of a profit. That is what I said. You don't mention the actual time and money invested to potentially make a profit. I just want you to be honest about the business. I watched a few of your videos of ripping packs and I enjoyed them. I subscribed to your channel to be sure to be able watch more. Then you started pushing your "system" and talking about entrepreneurs can make good money selling sports cards. You only talk about making money. You haven't mentioned the actual time and money for someone to "copy/use" your process. That is what I have said. Repeatedly. This is the first time you ever answered me back about it. I have seen many people think they were going to make money selling sports cards only to fail and end up in debt.
Great review....thanks much👍⚾️
Glad it helped!
I am looking forward to seeing what this grading card company has to offer and at what price point they end up at. I don't like the possibility of a paid membership to use it. I don't like the 50 submission minimum. If you don't offer all sports for sale, you will see the drop of the market, when those sports aren't being played, so it isn't an alll year round business. To suggest to someone outside of "the hobby" to do this as an extra source of income is very speculative and they would probably be better investing in the stock market. If you have a personal collection that you enjoy owning and will be fine if your cards don't sell, then you are in a good position. If you are trying to "flip cards," there are probably 90% that will fail and lose money, if not more.
Thanks for your feedback. In my opinion it is impossible to fail or lose money flipping cards IF YOU ARE BUYING the Right Cards, proven all stars. I am not talking about speculating on unproven players. I have a video launching in a day or two, I will post the link here. You can take a look and then let me know how a person could possibly lose money with this approach, I would be interested to hear your response. Thanks for your comments.
I am so excited about this! I have several cards I want graded. Thank you for sharing this information.
You are so welcome!
I have never had any cards graded, though I own about 15 to 20 cards that have been graded by 4 different companies. I have been considering getting several cards graded, but have been holding back to see what my best option is. I do consider the look of the encapsulation, the total costs involved and the time it takes to complete the process very important. I look forward to seeing what this new company has to offer. Thank you for the video.
Your welcome. I guess it really depends what o what you ultimately want to do with the cards, right?
@CMGCollectDirectTeam If the cards don't look good in their encapsulation/ holder, then people will not put as much money into buying them. There are multiple reasons for SGC doing well. The "Tuxedo" look of the slab, the fast turn around for grading, the lower price to get graded and the multiple years of grading consistency. This has lead to their slabs being valued equaly and sometimes higher than PSA.
Can’t wait to see how this rolls out! This is awesome. Thanks for all your support and advice on sports cards and crypto ❤
You are more than welcome
Love the video. I would recommend using the School Rock “I’m just a bill on Capitol Hill” song in the background Velocity of a card
2:09 love the Bitcoin insights. Please tell me you have a video. 5:48 honey? Mapping? This is awesome. Can you share link on this? Love your insights. I think that hobby is emotional not logical and if you think you’ve found logic, the hobby will surprise you. I love thinking logically about the hobby and reminding myself it’s emotional.
I appreciate your feedback! Thanks for the reminder, we forgot to put the link in the description, I just added it, but here it is cmgcrypto.com/?s=hivemapper
I believe you are on to something. This is great information! I can’t wait to see how your research turns out. Love all your help and support.
Great video. Maybe one comparing each grading company grades.
Great Stuff from a great leader! I love Elly D!!
Heck yeah, a dreary slow 1 - 2hr morning looking for cards TURNS $3 IN $70 min ($67 profit) x 3 days a week = $201 Play money!! Love it! Not to mention picking up leads that can equate into a nice return but more importantly, you made friends and helped people. Next time you see the little lady you lowballed from $10 to $3 for the cards, she needs a little gift or burger!😜
Fun stuff and learned a lot. Those are beautiful cards. Reproducing the old vintage cards looks great but not sure if they will have significant value. But a favorite player or a card that is needed to complete a collection will always find a home. Enjoyed seeing this very much!
Thanks for the excellent detail and description of the grading process. Helps a novice like me to understand what to look for before paying fees to hopefully boost the value of the cards in hand. Sure don't want to spend $20+ shipping on a 35 cent card in average condition!
Love this! I play fantasy football so I all these players. Thanks for sharing
Unfortunately, PSA has been found to be less reliable for grading. They have been embarrassed by people sending in fake cards and paint / marker added cards that have been authenticated as real by PSA. Their fees are getting much more difficult to calculate, and you pay more to get a "perfect card" graded by them. The wait times are much longer than other companies. They have a "Membership" program that seems to increase the likelihood of getting better grades. They bought out their biggest competitor, rather than fixing their own flaws to compete. They are using their clout to bannish people in the industry that proved their ineptitude of card grading (Kurt's Card Care). They have accused people of "Altering" cards in a way that will make them look better now, but return to a damaged/stained appearance while in the PSA holder over time. They have submitted ZERO EVIDENCE of this, yet have banned people over the issue, while they have no way to detect a "Cleaned Card." It would be laughable if it didn't affect the industry as much as this has. I have not "Cleaned" any cards, but I know it has been done for over 35 years. I am an artist who paints with acrylic paints and water colors. If someone damaged a painting or got it dirty, I have ways to clean and / or repair it and this is totally acceptable, but do something to salvage a small piece of cardboard that people consider history, don't do that! We should probably throw away the Declaration of Independence, because it has been "cleaned/restored." Wake up! "THE KING HAS NO CLOTHES!" I have many PSA graded cards as well as cards graded by other companies. I want them all to be held to a high standard, as any company who claims to have high standards should.
