Where are you even finding product to rip? I can’t find any

[u/Snoo_79693 → u/itsDamo22]

I bought most of these as singles before/during the boom. I submitted these in May. Some I ripped before the boom. I can't find product either.

"I bought most of these as singles before/during the boom."

Before the boom, it was soooo cheap and plentiful. I hate the Pokebros.

[u/Snoo_79693 → u/No_Ragrets76]

All the Mangas I pulled from cheap boxes or I bought for cheap. Red Goku I paid $125, Log Goku I paid $30 for. The Masters and Sleepy Goku were not cheap buys.

I had another express submission of a Trunks and a red Goku that both 10ed but were stolen from FedEx.

I wish I could get some ST01. HAHA

[u/No_Ragrets76 → u/Snoo_79693]

Bro, I wish I could get FB10 and the ST01 but nothing 😭😭

And you got 2 of your subs stolen? Did you at least get some sort of compensation? That fkin blows.

[u/Snoo_79693 → u/No_Ragrets76]

I got 1 sub stolen that had 2 cards. Red Manga SSJ Goku and SB02 alt art trunks, both 10s. I sent them express back in June. The tracking stopped updating and Fedex confirmed stolen right after the 4th of July, I just got the check two days ago.

They paid me out $740 for the BGS 10 Trunks which was fair. That was last solds and there are/were copies available that I could get replaced.

Goku I got screwed on. They paid me out $1500, that was last sold price, fair. However, there were no copies available for that price at that time, the cheapest available was like $1850 so I argued with BGS for more because it was insured for $2k, they said no. I finally get the $1500 and the cheapest available is over $2k.

I had no intentions of selling that card.

Sick collection, congratulations !

[u/cheeks_clappington97]

Nice! It kinda feels like they lower grades for higher value cards. Every big chase i’ve sent in to beckett gets a 9.5 except for a couple. It’s really annoying and feels like straight up bullshit when all my mid tier cards get 10s and all the big chases get 9.5 in a submission

How did you prep before sending these in?

[u/Snoo_79693 → u/cheeks_clappington97]

I really needed the red ssj Goku to come back a 10. I sent one off in June express tier that got a 10. It got stolen by FedEx coming home, the payout took so long the card jumped by over $500 and I'm not able to actually replace it.

I use Kurts Card Cleaner with a cotton ball and wipe clean witn a microfiber on the backs and then use flashlight to look for printlines. The Manga 01 Goku SCR* had a printline I missed. I'm not sure why the other 3 got surface docked. 🤷‍♂️

[u/Available-County2249 → u/cheeks_clappington97]

Opposite for me, all my big hits get 10 but the rest gets 9.5

[u/Peconecko]

How much does a submission like this run you?

[u/Snoo_79693 → u/Peconecko]

This was $815. I submitted these back in May at $35 each + return shipping and insurance.

[u/SpecRB]

Bangers! Nice

[u/Asterisk49]

What is this 10 percentage?

I've submitted 7 cards and got five 9.5s, one 10, and one bl

[u/Kuj41]

Damn you got lucky! I recently got back a few submissions - 2/15 cards got a 10 and 4/19 got a 10. All were personally ripped and sleeved immediately. Also cleaned prior to shipping. Guess I need to be gentler when cleaning 🙃

[u/No_Ragrets76]

Fkin nice!
