- What are your thoughts on grading FAB and what company do you prefer? If you are interested in any of these slabs, or want to talk grading here is my link tree to Instagram and eBay! www.flowcode.com/page/gamitcg
Heya Gami, thanks so much for the shoutout. Really liked this video; keep it up!
FaB4Life 💚💙💜!
Thanks Saint, awesome to see you found the video! I am a patron of yours actually, have some miscuts and ink errors set aside for ya after one of your recent talks
@@gami_tcg7887 love it. HMU via Patreon; glad to lend my services to other content creators!
PCG is the company that does all the grading to ensure that the Flesh and Blood prize cards are guaranteed to be 9 or higher when awarded at the end of major tournaments. They have an official partnership with LSS.
True, but that doesn't mean its what collectors want. At least yet. I am all for PCG taking over like I said but the value is still with beckett right now. PCG is killing it in other countries, but the US branch is significantly behind
super great video.. appreciate the work and info you put out, a lot. so big thx! Im very new to this stuff and never considered grading before, just "collected" 4fun back then and now im into fab completely changing my mind with that. Still a bit nervous about it but if i would, these two bgs and especially pcg would be my top wants to get my mostly selfpulled cards slabbed by as well. So hyped for that in future. When pcg is in europe someday gonna e hard to stop me ^^
Feel free to ask any questions you have. I am happy to help! I find grading really rewarding. I equate receiving grading results a lot like opening packs, but you have a lot more control over the outcome. Hitting that really high grade like the feeling of hitting a fable, but better because your direct effort went into that result
@@gami_tcg7887 already can feel that man, while reading 🤟🏼
Yeah, actually already prepped some cards i wanna send off and one of my questions definetly is - would you recommend sending off "as most as possible" to get maybe a discount or like, and especially i fab atm, at what level of monetary value do you recommend it to be more "useful"? Since i think with all of em its the same - that more expensive cards tend to cost more to get slabbed right?
Thought bout some cheaper cards like lil marvel dragons f.e. too.
Could it be cool like doing cards that are cheaper atm before they hit the point the grading gets more expensive for them?
Appreciate it mate ((:
For PCG they do discount the price based on the number of cards so its for sure worth doing with them. Shipping, particularly coming back is pretty pricey so sending more cards spreads that cost over more items. At least thats how I look at it, dividing up shipping and adding that cost to the grading to get how much I put into each card. Even beckett is down to 18$ a card with subs so its finally worth sending cheaper stuff in again. Just have to be careful because the ones that do get 9s will be hard to just get the cost+grading fee back which is my goal when I hit 9s. Marvel dragons are for sure worth sending in my opinion. Every one I pull i would like to send for grading if they look clean enough, just haven't had much luck on them so far
Agree with your assessments, though I do think the PCG slabs with the metal labels outdo BGS slightly. Aren't those included in the grading price now? I'm curious if the actual grading has improved since they moved to Florida?
I like this vid!
The PCG with the metal label is my favorite. Though I am grading for my collection.
I can't stand the PSA label. I am convinced PSA still uses a dot matrix printer.
Can't say I've gotten to see the metal labels in person but they look nice from the pictures. They cost a decent ammount more than the regular ones though so I didn't go with them. Sounds like a better call for personal collection / high end stuff though.
Yah that PSA label and case really stands out in a bad way next to those other three haha
@@gami_tcg7887 The PSA label looks like they are using a staples address label they just cut out.
@@gami_tcg7887 The metal label is for sure not worth it it if flipping. It's just the way it looks to me that I love.
could you provide the prices of all the submissions? I think mentioned only 2 of the 4 in the video. Thanks!
They fluctuat a lot, but as of right now its
BGS - 18$ with sub grades on collector special
PCG - quantity dependant, 25 cards = 15$ and 13$ each for 50+ cards
PSA - 15$ but requires a 100$ annual membership to submit.
CGC - just completely redid their label and scale, are 10$ a card with their subscription
@gami_tcg7887 thank you so much! I never expected a response tbh
@@lucaslahlum6331 thanks for dropping a comment! Was definitely still getting use to talking on camera for this video (still am) so will probably update it in the future as well and make sure I put those numbers in
