 Today, I graded cards with The Grading House? What's up, guys? We're back with another epic grading video, and today I sent some cards into The Grading House, which is a new grading company. You're like, wait, I thought you didn't like new grading companies. I really don't grade with new grading companies very often. This is actually the very first time. We'll get more into that later, but first, we have a giveaway. I'll be giving away this Time Wizard from Metal Raiders that we pulled the other day. All you have to do is like this video, be subscribed, turn on notifications. Let me know what you think about new grading companies and this one specifically. Let's get into the pre-grade. All right, guys, let's check out these cards that we're going to be sending to The Grading House. I don't know how they grade. It seems like when I saw a video about them, they're very similar to PSA in terms of their quality, like how hard they grade or harsh they grade, I should say. So first, we're going to be grading this off-centered first-edition ring of destruction. I didn't send this to PSA because I thought it would get a 9, but let's see if I was right about that. Let's check it out. Looks nice. Top left. Top right. All right. Bottom corners look pretty good. Back pretty nice. I mean, a little bit of scuffing. Fronic Guardian often has that though, so that's not too unusual. Corners look pretty good. Very good. Okay, so yeah, I think that this would get a 9. That's going to be my guess for The Grading House. We're going to see if they're different or the same, you know, when it comes to PSA grading. All right, next one we're doing, the legendary fisherman. This card was actually pretty nice, so it's considering grading it and we are going to grade it but with just with a different company instead. So let's check this out. Top looks good. All right, bottom corners look good. Surface looks pretty clean for the most part. Back is pretty good. I mean, a little bit of scuffing on there. This is a front, or not front. I got a Pharaoh Servant card. It's a pretty normal top left, top right. Bottom right has a little bit of a, something going on there. Let's check that out. Is that just a little bit of extra card on there? Yeah, it looks like it's just a little extra card. So that'll be interesting to see what happens with that. Yeah, so corners not perfect. Back's pretty decent. I think that this is like 8 to 9. Centering is off with that weird corner thing. There's also this. So I'm going to go with 8 because of that splotch and then everything else that I just said. So we've got an 8 Legendary Fisherman. Then we have a Dark Magician from BPT. This card is really sick. So the surface on it looks pretty good. A little bit of a dot right there, a little bit of something. Top left is nice. Top right, bottom right, bottom left. Centering is not great on that guy. It's definitely not great. The main reason I didn't send it in. Top left, top right. Well, centering on the back is insanely off, which is pretty funny. I don't know how harshly they deal with centering, but it's definitely the main issue here. A little bit of surface issues. Not perfect. I'm going to go with an 8. I could see maybe a 9, but with that centering, it's going to be hard to see that. Let's go 8. Next, we have a really cool, slightly faded Dark Magician Relobey. This is unlimited. Very cool. Top left. Wow, that is... Okay, a little frayed there. Not too good. A little bit of that cutting issue there as well. Bottom corner is good. Okay, so the bottom corners are good. Top or not so good. A little bit of that error that the blue eyes had. Oh, never mind. That's not it. I just wiped it off. Top left. Okay, not perfect on the left. Right's all right. You can see a little bit of that fraying at the top. The edges are not perfect. Bottom right and bottom left. Okay, surface is pretty good. I'm looking at like... I would guess an 8 on this. I could see if they're super harsh. A 7. I'm going to go 8 on this one. And finally, we have the Blue Eyes White Dragon. This is an SDK, slightly faded, unlimited print. Top corner looks pretty good. Yeah, those look good. Bottoms. Pretty good. The bottoms looking pretty good. All right, surface is pretty clean. Centering is definitely not very good. Back surface is pretty good. Do I see a scratch? Very long scratch right there. That's probably going to hurt it for sure. Other than that, some little scratches and stuff. Corners look pretty good. Okay, yeah. So we're looking at, I would guess, another 8 quality. So we've got 1, 9, and 4, 8s are my guesses right now. So we're in that range. We'll see how consistent they are with that or with my beliefs of how it should be graded. It's going to be fun. Let's get to the grades. All right, now that you've seen what we've actually predicted, let's see what we actually got on the grades. Before we get into it, let's talk a little bit about how new grading companies vary from older, more established grading companies. So first of all, a new grading company is usually going to be a lot cheaper. So you're going to be able to send in your cards for a lot less money. For this company specifically, they're located in Europe, which I thought was pretty interesting because a lot of people in Europe have to send a PSA. It's really expensive. So it's another option for you guys that's like you're not going to have to send like international rates and do all that different stuff and have like import fees and all that stuff. The price for regular service, which they had at about 20-day turnaround, was 15 euro. Then it was 30 euro for the one that was seven day, I think, and then it was like 50 for two-day express. So if you compare that to like PSA, PSA is like right now regular is at 100. Economy is at 50 and then like there's some more expensive ones. So economy is probably the closest thing to their 20-day rate and 50 is a lot more than 15 euro. Euros are pretty close to the US dollar at this point. So maybe like three times as much to send to PSA, which really isn't that bad with bulk services coming back. Bulk is going to take way, way longer though. But the problem is the values are not going to be as much as PSA because there's not as much demand and there's not as many people looking for like the grading house or other smaller company cards. So really depends on if you want to save money on the submission. If you're looking to keep the cards or if you're looking to sell them, that should factor into your decisions. Let's go ahead and see what they're like. Are they accurate when they grade? That's pretty important to find out. We're going to see. Honestly, I don't remember it all, but I sub. So we're going to have to go one at a time here. Let's start with this card. I don't know if this black label means that it's like a black label or if it's just regular. This is how many cards they've graded 156. So they have not graded a lot of cards. This is a very small company. By the way, I will have the link in the description down below if you guys are interested in this. Let's check it out. Let's see what it got. I don't do they do like. I don't know what kind of grading they do. What is this? Is this a super rare Cybertwin do it? I think he sent this. He said something about all. I sent an extra card. So I guess that's what this is. We definitely didn't grade this. So he sent us a 10%. So that's what the black label means. I guess that actually did mean something. Black label 10 Cybertwin Dragon Cybernetic Revolution from CRV. Very, very cool card. He's out of these. So it looks, we can see this case a little bit. All right, we got it out. These feel look like old PSA slabs. They're very similar to the older ones where they didn't quite stack perfectly. The labels are definitely different. They got like colors around them and stuff. So they have a black label kind of thing and then they have like some stuff around it. So and I don't think they do sub grades. I think they might do, I don't know if they do point fives or not, but I don't think they do sub grades. So we got this as a gift, I believe. So that's pretty cool. But yeah, we can't really compare anything there other than looking at the case. Let's see what we got on the other grades. All right, next one. I have no, I have no idea what we actually predicted. I think I sent in a bunch of like PSA nine worthy cards. I don't remember what I exactly predicted. You guys will see in the video, but let's cover it up. We have, oh, a faded blue eyes. I forgot I had this. This is actually insane. It's a little bit OC SDK faded. Oh yeah, this is actually sick. I don't know what this would grade like. Let's see what it got. I guess that's just how we're going to do it. G wait, what Jim Mint? Wait a second. Okay, sintering. All right, I'm interested. Now I want sub grades. I want to see how this got a 10. So, but the sintering was not very good, which is why I never sent it in. It's unlimited, but it is faded. So the faded usually gets a little premium when it comes to the unlimited stuff. Very, very cool. And even first edition. Okay, so this was nice. I wonder what I predicted. I guess I predicted nine. I don't really know. There's no way I thought this was going to get to a 10 with this sintering. That's actually surprising, to be honest. So far, I mean, it's looking like they are grading a little bit easier. Could have just missed that sintering or maybe they don't wait sintering as much because like if the card's super minty, it could still get a 10, which would be kind of cool because like, you know, half of you guys don't even know what sintering is. You're like, what are you talking about? What is sintering? You keep saying sintering. Most people don't even care about it. So I don't know. That might be a welcome thing to be honest. Okay. So I don't know if we just got lucky or what there. So back sintering, I mean, it was very clean. I don't remember. You guys will see the pre grade and you guys will see the surface and all that stuff, how it looks. So surface there looks really nice as well. Very pretty. Okay. What card is this? We can cover it up like this. Okay. I don't, where did I get these? I can't remember where I got these from. Oh, wow. That's beautiful. Is this wavy? It doesn't seem wavy. It looks like it just a little bit faded. It has fade. Oh, look, it has the faded on the... Oh, it doesn't have faded on this one. That's interesting. Faded on this one though. This one has a faded designator. Okay. Surface looks pretty amazing on there. Surface looks good. Let's check the corners. I didn't check on the last one. Corner looks good. Sintering is definitely not good on the back, but you know how that goes with sintering on the back. Usually not a big deal. Back right corner, back left corner. Let's cover this up. We have back left, back right, bottom right, bottom left. So there's a couple smidges of whitening there. By the way, also, I think they do, as you guys can tell, wait, before we do this, they do two different 10s. There's a gym meant 10 and there's a pristine. So pristine is better. So we didn't quite get the highest grade there. We got the second highest behind the pristine. So FYI for that, didn't even know that. I just watched Slosh's video and he did this return as well. So go check out Slosh, by the way, because he has a great channel as well, but he did a return on this and that's how I kind of have some of this knowledge. Let's see what this is. Another gym meant 10. Okay, all right. So sintering is not really getting knocked here. Sintering is a little bit off on this thing. Top, I mean, there's a little bit of whitening going on there. It's not too bad. You guys are going to see the pregrade. I mean, I sent stuff that I thought was like 9s, I think, for the most part. I don't remember if I thought this would get a 10 or not. Sintering, I don't think it would at PSA. So so far, we've hit all 10s. We're not complaining there, but, you know, seems a little more lenient than PSA. Three to go. Back sintering. Oh my goodness, this back sintering is not good. Okay, corners. Oh, that bottom right definitely got some whitening. This one, okay, whitening on the bottom edge there. Let's see what we can get. Dark magician. Well, this is from BPT. Yeah, I remember sending this now. This is beautiful. Bottom left or top left, top right, bottom right, bottom left, sintering is awful. This is no way this gets a 10. Yeah, that's a mid nine. Okay, so that makes sense. That thing is definitely not a 10. I mean, sintering was way off pretty hard, but some of the edges and corners are not great. So I think that this is pretty fair to be honest, to get a nine. I think that's pretty accurate. So far, I think we're a little bit off, but we're off on PSA returns as well. I'd say we guessed nines on all of them so far, and we've gotten one of them right. All right, two more to go. I think we might have had one more. This looks like a new card, actually. Whoa, what is that? Big old white dot right there. Okay, there's something going on there. Back surface looks pretty clean. Oh, legendary fisherman first edition. Oh, this is sick. Okay, I think this card was actually pretty nice. Little bit OC, but pretty nice. Surface looks good there. Very, very nice. Let's see what it got. A nine. Okay, so this one got a nine. The centering, oh yeah, centering is a little bit off that way. It's got that back corner issue there. Okay, this is probably what I estimated for this thing, but first edition foil bleed marked, which is pretty cool. So it's cool to see that they actually mark, you know, the foil bleed and stuff like that. So very cool, very, very cool. And the final card, I think this is a ring of destruction. So this thing's way off center as well. The corners look good on the top, good on the bottom. Surface looks pretty nice. This card was super clean. Okay, top left, top right. This thing's off center as well. I'm going to guess that this is probably a nine as well at best. Centering is pretty bad. Let's see, first edition. An eight. Oh, okay, so they're getting harsh. So we started off with the lucky grades, and now we're kind of getting hit hard. I don't really know why this got an eight, to be honest. I mean, it was really off center. I'll give it that, but this card was very minty, I think, unless I missed something. But ring of destruction, very, very cool card. So we ended up getting eight, nines, and then two tens. I was surprised that these two got tens, but I mean, it looks really cool and looks really nice. So we'll take it, but it's an interesting thing to see what these new grading companies will grade like. To me, it was accurate on the nines. It was a little bit harsh on the eight, and then a little bit generous on the tens. So a little bit weird to see there. But as you guys know, PSA has been pretty wild with their grading as well. And just because they are the top grading company, doesn't mean they're always accurate. And really their value comes from being a big name and all that stuff. And that's really the reason I use PSA is because they bring the most value for the card. So pretty cool to see this. If you guys are interested in something like this, if you're in Europe, especially, I think that's probably for you. That's probably the main people I'm talking to, I should say, because you're saving a lot of money for like shipping overseas and stuff like that. But if you guys are interested in that, keep in mind, the values are not going to be even close to PSA when you grade them with, you know, a new company like the Grading House. But I figured I'd bring it to you guys. Let me know if you guys want to see more new grading companies. I have plenty of others that I could try out if you guys want to see that. So if you do, just let me know in the comments.
