  Hello, its LuckyJ from the future! I now have an ACE code, so if you want to submit with ace after watching this video you can do, use code "LUCKYJ" at checkout for 5% off. Everything in this video is still my honest thoughts, but thought it was worth mentioning incase you want to help support me and get 5% discount at the same time. thanks!

  Something you might want to factor in, is the PSA up charge. Not sure if any of these cards would qualify but it’s something to note when grading and looking at the PNL. Ace is one set charge where as PSA is value based on the higher end cards

  Tested ACE in my lab recently for durometer, humidity ingress, UV resistance, crack force, and clarity. It’s part of an ongoing slab comparison testing series. I still have to compile the data to see where it stands, but it will be out soon.

  I've been grading with Ace since the start and still have some of the original slabs and it's great to see how much they've improved, even with the pricing. Ace labels used to cost £5 each and colour match were £3 each. Great video btw

  As someone who doesn't collect graded cards this was really interesting to watch. I agree the little labels ACE adds look cool and can see why people pay the extra for them. From the outside looking in it looks as if PSA has a huge grip on the market? I enjoy my cards in a binder too much to submit but fun video!

  I really appreciate you doing this submission! I&apos;m a new collector, and I thought that ace slabs were just...custom slabs for were making themselves or something 😅 im not too into grading because i simply dont have the space (or the funds, frankly) but this was fun! <br><br>I love your channel. Congrats on 20K! 🎉
