 Today I got back my cards from C.G.C. What's up guys we're back with another epic video and today I got cards graded by C.G.C. because they just started grading Yu-Gi-Oh cards. So we're gonna see how they compare to PSA. But before that we have a giveaway.

All right guys, let's check out these cards that we're gonna send to CGC for the first time. This is gonna be pretty fun. So we did pull a second illusion of chaos. So we're gonna send this one in. I think this one was a little bit worse than the other one that we had that graded to PSA 10. The sintering is slightly that way. The corners look pretty good on the front. It's pretty nice overall though. I thought maybe it could have a chance at the PSA 10. I'm gonna be comparing everything to PSA and how I know they grade. And we're gonna see how it compares to CGC. Okay, so the surface looks pretty good. I think there was a couple of, yeah, it's hard to see, but there's a couple of speckles on the surface. So it's not completely perfect. Back corners are pretty good. I think the front might've been this one. It's on these star lights, they tend to have slightly, if you can see that, slightly turned corners a little bit pushed in, but it's still pretty good. I think it was like borderline 910 for PSA. If it was PSA, I'd be predicting like a 9. So we'll see if that comes through with CGC and see if we can get that. Next card we have a majestic star dragon. I believe I was gonna put this in the last PSA video, but I ended up not doing it for some reason. I can't remember. I think it was on the back maybe, here are the corners. The surface looks pretty nice, check that out. That looks beautiful. So I figure we'll send it into this one anyway and see what it can get. I think it was that. Yeah, that corner right there is pretty bad and that corner right there is pretty bad. So that's definitely gonna hurt those corner grades. It's probably gonna be pretty bad. The surface is pretty rough. I mean, it's not rough. It just has some scuffing on it. So this one, honestly at PSA, I was thinking it was like an eight and I could see like corners getting really low, like a seven or something at CGC because we're gonna do the sub-grades and everything and see what they give it. I'm gonna predict an eight based on my PSA knowledge because these corners are pretty rough, but we will see what it can get. It's gonna look nice in the CGC slab though. So we're gonna do it. Next we have an XYZ dragon cannon. I wanna send some cards in that I don't think are tens at PSA because I wanna get tens if I can get them. So I think most of these don't really have a chance. This one does have a kind of a weird corner. The sintering is definitely a little bit off on this. Actually, it's better than I thought it was. No, I look at it. It's not that bad. It has a top corner issue. The cutting's a little bit weird on these MFC cards. Sometimes it just looks a little bit uneven. A little bit of scuffing on the back. So honestly, I was thinking that it would definitely get a nine. It'd be between eight and nine at PSA if you guys can, you can kind of see it really well right there at the scuffing. So I'd be predicting like an eight at PSA. So we're gonna see what this is gonna get at CGC. Will it get worse? Will it get better? I've heard that they're pretty strict, so we will see. This one is a first edition relinquished. It's actually a tiny bit faded, which is pretty cool. So the sintering on it is way off, which is I think the main reason I didn't grade it. Corners look pretty nice overall. Pretty nice. The surface looks very crispy, which is always nice to see. Back sintering is definitely off. You can see there. Corner, what is that bottom corner? Just a little bit of, a little bit white, but not too bad. And then another corner. So this one, I would have predicted like a nine at PSA unless they went crazy on the sintering. Little bit of a dot there. So I don't know what that is. I would have predicted like a nine still on this guy maybe, but like baby borderline if they got crazy an eight, but I would still say nine. And the final card we have is a first edition Trihorn Dragon from Legend of Blue Eyes. This card I have not submitted because of the sintering. I'm just looking at it. It's really, really bad. It's probably gonna get a rough sintering grade. Surface looks absolutely incredible. Back looks pretty good. I mean, there's some stuff going on back there. So this was definitely not like a PSA 10 candidate, which is why I didn't send it in. So for this one, the sintering is gonna get killed, I think, I think this would get like an eight at PSA. Maybe, maybe it's probably not a seven. That would be pretty rough. So I would say maybe an eight. This one is probably gonna get hit pretty hard. We'll look at that see where that looks nice. I'll go with a guess of an eight. I know they can do like 0.5s and stuff. So we're not gonna get crazy there on that guessing because I don't know how it's gonna work. We're gonna guess eight and see what happens. So let's get to the return. All right guys, you have seen the pregrade. I compared it to PSA because I don't really know how CGC grades because it's the first time we've ever done it. First CGC return, which is pretty exciting. So hopefully this will be good. Let's see what grades we got for our five cards. Okay, I opened it, but not in the best way, but check this out. They have like little slots for each card. That's actually pretty sick. I think we're okay to pull these out like this. They're not gonna like give it away based on the color of anything. I really, really love their slabs. Like, I mean, just check these out. They're super clean. So that is a big plus for CGC. I will give them that. You guys know that I prefer PSA for the most part, but I am down to give these guys a chance because I really do love the slabs. I know a lot of people actually really like them in terms of Pokemon stuff. And I know they were pretty strict right off the bat. So we'll see if they still are that strict because that was kind of a downside to them. I thought they were a little too strict on their cards. It was really hard to get good grades. I think this might be a card that we saved for the end. I think that's the Trihorn. Let's do this one. I don't know how to cover these up. I guess we gotta go like this. So okay, that's XYZ Dragon Cannon. So let's check out the top corner. It looks pretty good. Okay, top corners both look nice. Okay, so the back centering is not amazing. I think it's a little tilted. It gets worse when it gets to the bottom. DMG had this problem as well, both from MFC. So it was an MFC thing, it seems like. For stuff all over this case, but it seems like it's easy to brush off. All right, I figured it out. This is how we do it. Yu-Gi-Oh card and Pachi will cover it up. There we go. This is how we do it. All right, so top left, a little bit of a nick right there. We've got some stuff on the case. So that's a little bit weird. We can probably wipe all that off though at the top right. Okay, cards foiling looks nice. Let's see what the XYZ Dragon Cannon got. So okay, I just got a 10. Okay, that's a good sign. It's a four sub grade. So it's a little bit different than PSA there. Corners got a nine. Okay, it does have a little bit of a white nick on one. All right. Surface got a nine. That's surprising actually. I thought the surface was pretty nice, but it was MFC, so maybe. I can't remember our pre-grade. And then Centering got a nine. So we ended up with a nine. So honestly, I feel like that's a pretty accurate grade. I think we guessed like nine based on PSA when we guessed. But yeah, let's see. So the surface was probably on the back. All right, we wiped that off a little bit. Let's see if we can see anything on the surface that really caused it. I think the Corners and Centering are pretty fair at nine. We saw some issues with those. The back was pretty good. Yeah, there's a little bit of scuffing on there. So honestly, I think this is a very fair nine grade. I think it's actually pretty accurate. So that's good to see from CGC. All right, next card, we're going to check out the back. So this is the one with pretty poor Corners. I'm expecting a pretty bad grade because based on this, I think this was the Ghoster Majestic Star or whatever. So yeah, the Corners are not too good on the top there. Bottom Corner, pretty nice. So the bottom Corners are actually pretty good. Majestic Star Dragon. So the front Corner, pretty good. Pretty good. Pretty good. We got to wipe this off, I don't want to reveal the grade by accident, so let's be really careful there. All right, so Surface was really nice on this card. That's why I sent it in, because I thought the Surface was really nice. The Corners are really terrible though. That's really what holds it back. So I don't remember what I predicted. I think I probably said eight or something on this one. So let's see. Let's go one at a time and let's see what we got. Edge is 9.5, that's pretty good. Okay, we'll take that for sure. Corners 7.5, that sounds about right. Corners are pretty bad. I'm okay with that. The rest of it's what's going to hold it up, I think. Surface 8, okay, that's surprising. Maybe it's somewhere on the back. We'll check that out later. Centering 9.5, so we got an eight. Okay, I think that's what I predicted. That's pretty okay on that Surface. Okay, there you see that? There's some scratches right there. So that's where the Surface issue is, I guess. So so far we're looking pretty accurate in terms of the grading for what I expected, but check out that card in the slab. That is a nice looking card. That's a big one. So far I'm pretty happy with these. I think that the grades have been pretty good, or at least fair. Third card, I don't know what this one is. I can't really remember. I only remember the Trihorn nut here, so there's a top corner. I think one of these was a Starlight, right? It was the illusion of chaos. Very cool. So I wiped this off, and it's still not coming all off. That's kind of annoying that all this stuff is on here. They don't sleeve them up like PSA did or does now, but PSA didn't use to do that either. So hopefully they will implement that at some point, putting a sleeve on it so you don't have all this stuff all over it. But that's okay. That's not really that big of a deal. Very nice. Corners look nice. Back looks nice. This might be the illusion of chaos. It seems like it might be a newer card. All right, let's cover it up with the Impachi. Yes, it is the illusion of chaos. Corners looked good. Back centering was not completely perfect, but it's pretty close. Man, those corners look pretty good. The centering looks pretty good. This is the one I think that did have like a 10 shot, or I guess 9.5 is that CGT thing, I think as well. So let's see what we got on the first one. Edge is 10. That's a good start. That's a good start, okay. Corners 10. Okay, this is a really good start, okay. 8.5 of the surface, a brand new surface. That's crazy, okay? And centering 9.5, so it got a 9. What's wrong with the surface? Is there something on the back that I missed? Was there something on the surface? The pregrade, you guys will have seen it, so you'll know. But I don't remember there being this. Maybe there's a little bit, a little bit of speckles or something. Was it 8.5 worthy? I can't really remember, but that was unexpected. It was like 10, 10, 8.5, so you end up with a 9. So I guess because 8.5 is the worst one, you can't get a 9.5, is that how that works? Because that definitely averages out to over a 9, I think. Yeah, 38 divided by 4 equals 9.5. So I guess that's not how that works, is not a straight division. I don't think that's how it works with BGS either. That's a little disappointing with how that started. I guess the surface did have something on it. You guys will have seen the pregrade, but I guess good subgrades other than that. I will say the subgrades do make it kind of fun through the return video. I keep saying PSA return, I'm so used to it being a PSA return. They do make it a little bit more exciting because there's like more grades to look at, which is pretty cool. All right, more things to be disappointed in. We're excited about depending this. Is this the Trihorn? What I sent in besides Trihorn. I sent in another old school card, didn't I? I can't remember. Let's cover it up with the Impachi. Impachi's been doing good work today. Let's see what we can do here. Okay, the Relinquish, yeah, from MRL, very nice. Top left looks pretty good. I mean, it's not completely perfect corner there. This corner's pretty good. The sintering is definitely not gonna get a great grade on this one. Bottom right's good. Bottom left is good. Okay, surface looks pretty good. What are we thinking on this? I mean, this has good potential for a lot of things besides the surface. And then when you touch these cases, they're very easy to do that, whatever that is. Oh wait, we have to cover it up, don't we? Okay, first grade, I don't remember what it is. Edge is 10. We've been doing good on edges. So the edges have been doing pretty well. Let's see what else we've got. Corners, 10. Whoa, okay, that's surprising because one of the corners is not perfect. I was expecting like a 9.5. We'll take that. Sintering is really gonna hurt us on this one. I'm guessing a nine overall on everything after the corners. We get probably like an 8.5 or something. Surface 9.5, man, this is a beautiful card. Beautiful card, but what's that sintering gonna get? Nine, okay, we'll take it. All right, that's not bad. So this is a case where you get a higher grade because we sent with the sub grade. So everything else on the sub was really good besides the sintering at PSA, this would just be a nine because it's off-centered. But because it is just the sintering, we get a 9.5. That's actually a pretty awesome grade. Pretty excited about that one. I don't know how the values are gonna stack up. They're almost definitely gonna be less than PSA though, but still really cool to sin here. I mean, the prices were not actually that much cheaper than PSA. I sent the service that was not quite the highest levels like the second level, but these came back incredibly fast, but it was still just a little bit under the $100 rate for regular at PSA. It still came back a little bit faster, but it was about the same price. So interesting because with CGC, you have to pay for a yearly subscription was only 25 bucks, but then you have to pay for sub grades or an additional fee, then you have to pay for like, I think shipping is a different fee and then there was another fee. So it added up, it looked way cheaper right off the bat and then it kind of stacks up to equal almost as much as PSA. All right, our final card, this is the Trihorn Dragon from LOB. The sintering is not so good on it, but the corners look very nice actually, very good corners. Okay, there are a little bit like weird, they're kind of like jagged or whatever, but there's not really whitening too much on them. Okay, not bad overall. The surface is very crispy on this card. A little bit of something right in the middle, maybe a little scratch right there. So maybe not as crispy as I thought, but still pretty good. Let's see what the front looks like. Front has, it's also way off center. The sintering is ridiculously bad on this. Hopefully it's not gonna give us like a five, but it is gonna be pretty bad. So sintering is pretty bad. Service looks pretty good on the front. It looks really, really good. Hopefully the edges are just as good as before. Let's see what we got first is edges nine. Okay, that's our worst edges grade I think. So that's not a good start. Corners 10, that's a plus. Okay, yeah, the corners did look pretty good. All right, surface seven. Oh, okay, this is not gonna get a good grade. 8.5 sintering, what in the world surface seven? And I guess that scratch right here, wait, what is that? Maybe there's a little something going on there. That's probably why you got the seven. Oh, interesting. So there's a little bit of a, almost like a binder dent in there. And then a little bit of a scratch. Okay, I see where they're coming from on that actually, but overall on eight, the corners and edges really upped it a lot. I'm surprised the sintering was an 8.5 to be honest. I thought it would be worse than that. Okay, so Trihorn Dragon, CGC eight. That's actually not that bad. So overall, I'm pretty happy with that experience. I think they actually did a pretty good job grading some of those. I might actually send a few more cards there. Let me know what you think about CGC down in the comments.
