Just curious, do you have a preference or see more value for a particular grading company or it is irrespective of the company.

Cheers!

All grading companies have a place. It really depends how the submitter can use the grading company to their own benefit. Most people let the grading companies take advantage of them.

HIGH END . PSA ONLY

All the rest should be for flipping and making money.

Disclaimer. I grade with 4 different companies currently. I could start my own grading company and compete comp wise with 3 of them on the low end market. Pretty much at launch.

Lower Gross sales but great ROI as most sales were raw singles.
Happy. Little behind goals for gross sales, ROI is excellent though.

Would love to buy from you, king. Lmk where I can do so

looking at 1099s
April was the High in gross revenue ,$70,000+ (people here motivated me)
Nov Gross revenue $11,000+ ( One month vacation.)

99% Singles , so the ROI is MUCH higher than sealed sellers.
This can be a Big Business if taken seriously, I do this as a hobby and fun. Approx 20 hrs a week total.

Pokemon is a great business for anyone thinking about it. Right now i am on the fence about going almost fulltime and work Sealed and Slabs into selling.
