    I don’t think ace being “harsh” is a bad thing. It just means they actually give a accurate grade and long term will be more trusted then a lot of other Grading company’s.

      I don't think they know how to grade properly tbh, I've submitted cards, submitted one which was damaged, creased, and came back an Ace 9. From that point on I couldn't trust a single grade from them.

      No because ace is new the value will be significantly worse since it’s not one of the big three( psa,CGC and BGS) I would never cross grade or grade at ace ever

    • @Aaaandy_kick

      Ace will be the next cgc. The grading scale will be loose eventually and then all the early 10s value will drop.

    Grading seems a lot more accurate than other services I’ve seen - PSA seem to be very inconsistent at the moment. Hopefully, in time, the Ace labels will continue to be consistent which will make Ace 10s extremely valuable.

  • @manuelfragapane2868
    @manuelfragapane2868 Před 2 lety +33

    The only issue I see is that a lot of people grade the cards for value and if PSA is giving them a 9 or 10 and ACE is probably going to give them a lower grade then it makes sense to grade with PSA. Even if the 9 from PSA is not deserved the value is there since it’s a 9 and not the 8 you would get with ACE

    • @manuelfragapane2868

      @pskarzyn89 Před 2 lety

      In the long term, if PSA is still inconsistent it will drop the values of PSA. On the contrary, ACE being more consistent and accurate can drastically increase prices, especially gem mint 10s as they will be hard to come by.

      I think the idea is to point out how unfairly and undeservedly other companies are handing out 9s and 10s. Eventually people will realize that the higher grades from psa don't hold any value because there are so many.

    Love the videos, Randy! The Ace Grading slabs are of incredible quality and are certainly my go-to now for my Pokemon cards. If I had one small critique, however, on certain labels the text is a little big and it makes the label look as if it's been miscut (example 14:13, where the text on the label describing what the card is, looks like it's crammed on, making it appear a bit untidy. Perhaps just reducing the text size would solve this). Keep up the great work man, you're making waves in the community.

      I do agree with this - this is really one of the main things which bothers me on some labels. Design is great, colors too but the font size or number of lines used can really ruin some of the labels. I know Ace Grading is not willing to change their labels too much overtime for consistency but they should really considering doing something about this.
