Second time subbing to ARS, but the first time fully convinced me. The customer service is stellar, the turnaround was really reasonable considering the cards are going across the planet.
The slab design is definitely one of my favorites. Cant wait to see the Ray next to that silver label!
Here are the ones I sent in my first sub (non Pokemon, but POC for those who haven’t seen the slabs)
These slabs look fantastic. I wish there were more in the US
I love the label on the bottom, reminds of an art/museum piece. They are just clean and shiny.
Good luck! I’m familiar with ARS but never looked into grading with them myself, is the process complicated? How much does it cost overall? (including middleman fees) I’m also really curious what their standards are for grading, but I’m guessing similar to other companies.
They don’t account for centering but are very strict on the other facets of the card.
@haytertcg made a video about how to submit to ARS: https://youtu.be/IRSJJrqDbWA?si=1zORO04NHZBHSbtH
Thanks for letting me know! Very informative and helpful video.
Thanks for the mention!
Worth saying it can be done much easier these days. Cardova regularly attend trade shows in the US and Europe and offer ARS middleman services.
Saves you a lot of hassle and you could choose to directly sell through their auction platform, or have the cards sent back to yourself without loads of hidden fees you experience with somewhere like Fanatics.
Update:
ARS doesnt grade the Pokemon Poker cards, so I am going to take that one out. I may take another look and find something else to add.
