I watched my 1st Edition Shining Gyarados get graded in person.

A few weeks ago I made a video calling myself the dumb money in Pokemon. That video led to something I didn't expect... standing in a grading room, watching my first edition Shining Gyarados go under the microscope in real time. This is the story of how a random video turned into an awesome Pokémon experience, what the grading process actually looks like up close, and the grade I got on the day. I also talk honestly about where I land on grading. Go PSA when you're grading to sell, since that's what the resale market trusts. But if you're a collector who just wants your cards protected and slabbed without the wait or the ridiculous upcharges, a local grader like PCG is worth a look. Again this is a sponsor pitch, I am not being compensated in any way by sharing this experience, it's just what I actually did and why. Here is the link to my previous video with the comments from people all around the world sharing their take "I am the dumb money in Pokemon cards"    • I am the dumb money in Pokémon cards right...   If you want to grade with PCG here is the Australian website (they have a website and presence in US, Japan, England, Germany, Malaysia, New Zealand, Phillipines too just google your region) https://premiercardgrading.com.au/?sr... Here is my unique Code for 25% off your grading: BACKINMYDAY The code felt fitting since its about remembering why we collect.
