    PSA will always be king. But the longer their waiting times the more time for these new UK companies to close the gap. I'm rooting for these new companies.

      BGS is the actual king, PSA is a close 2nd. But PSA gone down the same route as BGS and now cost a lot and take forever

      just used them on booster packs 20 packs 300 and I love the security and states the word, sealed, written on label, key factor in my opinion

    At £150 a card, PSA just sounds like a racket. Thats ridiculous. It's looking a card for 2 minutes. They've only got to that price because they had the monopoly on grading.
    It's time for a new company to show them that it can be done for a fair price. Good bros pricing is just weird, and having a card make them more money based on it's grade, is a conflict of interest. I haven't had a card graded yet, but I'll go with pokegrade.

    I've always used Pokegrade love the feel of the slab and the very short waiting time for little money

      GG has awful customer service and longed it out when I paid for a two week turnaround, eventually returned my cards 16 weeks later!

    I have seen slabbing damage with PSA as well, not just one card but several. Support home grown business.

    which uk grading company do you think will give your card the most value when selling it on ebay.

    • @zach7855

      easily ACE, being made from a huge pokemon youtuber gives it an edge and the case is much higher quality

    • @MrRobby241
      @MrRobby241  Před rokem

      I wasnt able to get every slab unfortunately. But if you want to see another video thats updated let me know

  • @PurifiedShino
    @PurifiedShino Před 2 lety +1

    I've read articles and seen videos exposing how bad Ace Grading is so it's hard to trust who is truly good.

    The thing is…. If someone wants to fake something badly enough, they will, doesn’t really matter which service they are trying to manipulate. Of course some grading providers would be easier but fundamentally you cannot stop this if the counterfeiters are determined enough. Just pause for a second and think about banknotes, they get counterfeited all the time and some of the fakes are essentially just as good as the originals and nigh impossible to tell apart. Now imagine for a second you put a (for arguments sake) $10,000 note in a PSA slab. Do you think a counterfeiter couldn’t fake it just because it was in a PSA slab with a picture? You cannot be 100% certain just because there are photos, this is a false sense of security. I firmly stand behind the idea that grading services are a good thing but in terms of security all you can do is use your common sense and make it more difficult for fraudsters.

    Ace gradings labels are just soo clean and pretty. Plus i love the variation getween their standard, color match, and customs.. but that they all work together is just 😗🤌

  • @keepyourhandsup6856
    @keepyourhandsup6856 Před rokem

    Good video but find it slightly odd that you focused so much on the label and security rather than the honesty and fairness of grades (yes PSA we're looking at you) Each to their own i guess, personally think the best UK grader is MGC

  • @Keavy_Dryad
    @Keavy_Dryad Před 2 lety

    Hi love the video super informative however I'm a bit confused as I have a get graded slab and it is quite different from the one you have. Mind is not frosted it is fully clear and it has the logo engraved in the bottom right corner. Is yours an older style slab?

    Unsure if i should chose ace or pokegrade?

  • @PurifiedShino

    What about Becket?

    • @MrRobby241
      @MrRobby241  Před rokem +1

      Same issue as PSA with wait times and I didnt have any cards graded with them

    • @SimonLX
      @SimonLX Před rokem

      Beckett is the #1 globally. Very expensive and long time frames though

    None of these companies will give your card any real value, only PSA will give your card maximum value

    • @midnightmule2626
      @midnightmule2626 Před 2 lety

      well ... it helps a bit ... if a non-PSA card is selling on e-bay as a '10', then you can probably think there is more chance of it being a good PSA

    • @whatwaswritten7623
      @whatwaswritten7623 Před 2 lety +1

      @Aaron Snow well, depending on the company. You could research online to see reviews and what people are saying about them.
      I am aware that there are dodgy companies ... anyone can start a grading company of they want to, so reputation is important.
      There are several newish grading companies here in the UK, hopefully one or more will stay and get a good reputation :)
