A whole lot of work to get the same grade as before

I had a guy buy a Masaki Alakazam from me to do this same thing to remove the indents he said, no idea how it turned out though

The fact that it got the exact same esoteric 4.5 grade after a day at the spa is the most unintentionally humorous thing I’ve seen in a while.

I’ve heard of pressing in comic books to get a better grade but then sometimes they get a restored grade.
Cards seems a bit much

Surprised the grade stayed that consistent between companies, particularly the surface

I feel like you could maybe get a card from a PSA 1 → PSA 2 or something in very specific situations… but in most cases i’m not so sure as to its ability to turn a 8 into a 10 or something
i mean it’s not really altering the card
kind of weird but not a sin
I was ok until the polishing. Polishing requires removing material or filling in material, both are unequivocally altering

ah my bad, i thought he was just rubbing it with that sponge thing
can’t say i’m well versed in whatever you call what he’s doing lol
I love it. Lol. The value of time
In all seriousness, this just seems like a typical tiktok-esque-nothing-video. It’s like those pointless DIY videos where some guy spends 12 hours repurposing 6 months of used toilet paper rolls into some trivial, cheap thing you might as well just go buy for $5

We wanted to use a convoluted process to improve the grade of a relatively heavily beat up card. After all was said an done, it received the same low grade from a reputable grading company, but we still think it was worth it because the corners were slightly better (but still not close to mint)
I think that sums it up.
I’d rather spend a day at the spa myself. It would probably help remove some of the salt in my veins. 
I think it is given they also have this video destroying fixing a fossil dragonite
They’re going straight to hell. Harming a Dragonite is punishable by death in most states.

They have figured out how to make the graders consistent!
