Totally respect your opinion on this. Especially after doing the legwork. I do feel like a lot of people are missing the big issue here though. And that's whether or not the splooge is actually detectable/noticed by ANY grading company. Has anyone sent this stuff to PSA, BECKETT, or SGC and reported back? CGCs feet dragging is upsetting, but I'm more worried about this shit effecting card grading as a whole.

@@OpossumBud Oh no, I fully agree better attention should have been paid here - especially after you did the leg work. CGC undoubtedly dropped the ball there. My concern is the mob mentality people like to get after. Those, oh CGC is bad - time to jump on PSA, Beckett, insert name here. And NO, everyone needs to be looked at here with a careful eye. Because odds are if CGC isn't detecting it others aren't either. You called out this one example, but how many other cards from other customers are slipping through the cracks everywhere else? As popular as PSA is, I'm sure they have handled their own handful of splooge cards by now. I'm hoping these companies at the very least get their hands on this stuff and actually take a look at it. Figure out if there is a way to recognise its use. Identify is it damaging cards? If so to what extent? Because frankly, otherwise every company is at fault here - not just CGC. This is precisely why I generally only grade my own cards and primarily just for display. Because frankly who knows the history of a card.

I gave up on CGC a while back. I was frustrated when I sent a bunch of cards and it just felt like they just threw a generic "8.5" grade on a lot of cards when they had a long return time, almost like they didn't even grade some of them. Only happened with my bulk submissions, my higher priced subs always had better grades and never had the generic 8.5 grade. Now, they send out much higher grades, which shows that they eased up on the harsh grading they began with. If I'm not going to get consistency, I'll just stick with the inconsistent company that actually has value.

CGC has been doing some really shady stuff like this in the comic book world too. Last year they accepted and graded books that blatantly had an aftermarket, not publisher approved cover stapled on. What's even wilder in my opinion is that they have green (qualified) and purple (restored) labels that can go on comics, so why not use them here? The labels are pretty much the exact same just much smaller. At least label it and let people know it's been altered.

Yeah this is nuts. I believe I told Rattle before and I tried to mention it to a lot of other people. My cousin and I sent them three error cards where there was basically no border at all on the top..(like a sliver) They graded the cards didn't mark them as error. They put the centering as like a grade 8. Meanwhile someone like BGS would put like a 3-5 If they don't put on the slab error or OC. So I showed CGC comparable cards with similar grade and the centering score was about the same but they were a little bit more normal cards in terms of centering. It was clear as day, showed them the two pictures both with the CGC slabs. Different between oc badly & other CGC cards that have centering as 8.5. They gave me a runaround for almost 8 months and it was never resolved and they just told me that they can't help me. The only thing is I didn't do what I was going to do my plan was to do like a 10 or 15% chargeback or something but I decided to just let them deal with all the hate instead. Only recently they've been a little more lenient on the grades but yeah they would screw up a lot of people's cards and grade them wrong and often put 8.5 grade. And this is coming from someone that sends cards into PSA and Beckett often and I usually get 9.5s and 10s, so I'm pretty accurate. They will just take your money for anything and they don't care about anything else.

No problem and the thing with me in addition to what you said, which I agree with, is I laid out everything for them and they still dropped the ball! Only thing I could’ve done more was wait at CGC and stop the sun myself 😂 thank you truly and it means a lot! I’ll try to stay worth your sub 🙏🏽

i really wanted cgc to be good. I did two subs with them totalling over 100 cards and i know their grading scale is different but i just cant get over how strict they are. I sent in what i believed were absolute mint cards and only got back 1 cgc10 out of over 100 cards. My first sub i was a bit lax on but the second sub i really wanted to make sure i wasted no money on even subpar. Either way, it just seems like psa, although very lenient, is still the way to go

Damn man that sucks I love CGC - and the worst part is that shit he did to the card definitely altered it and definitely improved the grade! He made like a 5 into a 7.5 🤦🏼 and like you said it’s untested so for all we know that splooge could start eating the card away in a year! Scary stuff man. Good thing I hardly ever buy slabs 😂 but I’m Ngl I’ll keep using CGC for my own stuff. Only because I know that shit would breeze right through psa too 😂 great vid opossum this is great information for collectors to know - keep keeping it real homie

Sad to hear honestly. It'll suck to be someone that owns that card when it mutates and turns green because of weird liquids used on it years earlier. I personally don't care much for grading cards but it's nice to have alternatives to PSA. The gnat deserves at least a CGC 6.9.

Literally no TPG can tell if a card is wiped, chemicals or not. Everything about grading is visual. If you can't see that a card has been wiped, they can't do anything about it. It is what it is.

What about the card I sent them with proof of it being altered, the person doing it, and the cards they were submitting… can they detect that?
@HobbyChamps

@Opossum Bud I just don't think it's economically feasible for them to investigate in detail every instance of a card being wiped, who's submitting it, when, etc, AFTER it already passed grading standards. How can they even prove if the card that was submitted was the exact same card that was in the video? Maybe, MAYBE, if it's like a $1,000+ card they could spend the time, money and resources to investigate the matter, but to just expect it to happen at your whim seems a bit, I don't know, entitled I guess. If that's the right word. I love your content, so please don't take this as an attack or anything. Just trying to be realistic.

Man I feel you on this "cgc". I live 2 hours from home base. I sent in an error promo meowth and it came back as a 5 and non error. Was told by 3 cgc employees I should sent it in to get graded as error spent the extra and separate shipping for it to be a 5 and non error. After contacting they said we don't recognized that error. Gtfo. So my card is missing a layer of card towards the top .

Good call out. Indeed disappointing to see as a collector who values condition and the trust that comes with grading standards. However, I’m not sure what to do with this info. Surely PSA would pass this through as well, no? And what’s to prevent a raw card from being altered and sold. Most of my cards are in binders, but I can’t see a world where I wouldn’t want my best cards on display being graded. But again, love this type of awareness to hopefully change their practices if vocalized enough. Cheers!

Altering cards should get you blacklisted from grading. I know that would be hard to control but it will make the cheaters work that much harder.
