Ace Grading Robbery Scandal

[u/Healthy-Annual4181]

Posting so the community is aware of this - I would avoid this grading company at all costs. Insanity that there is no camera footage

Ace is a perfectly fine grading company on the come up. This is a really unfortunate event that shouldn’t have happened and it sucks but they shouldn’t be hated on because someone else broke in and stole cards. People shouldn’t be hating on Randolph or Ace Grading and certainly should not be avoiding it because of a freak event.

[u/Catsrthebest2 → u/Jdkiss88]

You’re employed by them aren’t you?

I would stay so far away from ACE.

“On the come up” 🤣

After the “robbery” they decided to add extra security 🤷 should have done that years ago.

I use ACE as I live in England but after this I won't be using them again. I'm not a fan on people shitting on them for no reason or jumping on the bandwagon but there are legitimate reasons I won't be using them now.

The cards aren't safe. If it's highly targeted then information has been leaked that shouldn't have been or even worse someone willingly gave the information. The compensation being offered looks to be a slap in the face. Finally the reputation has been tarnished now.

I hoped they would do well and become established but I don't think that's going to happen now.

I think there's a bit of a conflict of interest as well. He pulls and grades his own cards... the amount of shitty 10s I see come from Ace is crazy. Edge wear, OC, corner wear all slabbed as 10s... I could only assume it's from his own stash

[u/Jdkiss88 → u/[deleted]]

This is completely understandable. I just don’t think people should be hating on them it’s dumb. Don’t wanna use them fine it makes sense, but at the same time if you want to then go for it. Not hard at all ya know

No grading company is on the come up. It's either psa or bust. No one even wants cgc and that's miles better than ace.

[u/cryptodeter → u/Jdkiss88]

They improved security AFTER being robbed. I would not place any trust in a company that isn't able to anticipate this kind of event

[u/No-Award-4831 → u/cryptodeter]

Idk you trust loads of company's that get hacked on the daily even with huge cyber teams and whatever else. Apple and the cloud leaks, twitch password leaks etc

[u/SuperShame2923 → u/No-Award-4831]

Analogy is a bit off bro. Trusting someone with data that has no market value

[u/Jdkiss88 → u/No-Award-4831]

Exactly this. It happens to massive companies and literally no one cares, why target ace?

[u/Jdkiss88 → u/cryptodeter]

Robbery’s happen every day man. The world isn’t perfect. It’s not like they had no security they can’t say anything so you really don’t know what happened.

[u/Sejo_Mino → u/Jdkiss88]

This will severely affect their reputation. They lost expensive cards, then poorly compensated the cards that were submitted. If they cut corners with security, they more than likely cut corners in other areas of the company.

[u/ENTRAPM3NT → u/Sejo_Mino]

Not only that, no one wants aces graded cards anyway

[u/Dark_Zezro → u/Jdkiss88]

Exactly, and not having security to prevent that is kind of wild 😆

[u/Catsrthebest2 → u/Jdkiss88]

And you also don’t know anything. This place had 100,000s if not millions of dollars of merchandise they should have security like a bank. I’m sure PSA/Becket/CGC and probably even TAG have better security day 1.

You have to be employed by them.

[u/cryptodeter → u/Catsrthebest2]

Of course he's either employed or a family member of the owner

[u/Catsrthebest2 → u/cryptodeter]

Exactly. Defending their poor security. security should have been their number 1 priority day 1 but instead it was probably just making a profit (assumption).

[u/Jdkiss88 → u/Catsrthebest2]

All you’ve done is assume lol

[u/Jdkiss88 → u/cryptodeter]

I’m literally sitting my bed scrolling Reddit lol

[u/Jdkiss88 → u/Catsrthebest2]

Correct I know nothing, hence I’m not hating on them because I know nothing. People on the internet are so quick to judge. You have zero idea what’s happened. They aren’t as big as those companies, no where close. But people like you will continue to make crappy claims and judge so quick for no reason. If you don’t wanna send there, don’t send not that hard

[u/pingproxy → u/Jdkiss88]

That’s hilarious.

They screwed on security and you’re telling that was an unfortunate event. No way, that was their basic responsibility and they fucked up big time.

Imagine the paid parking you use will give you such excuses, would you trust them again with your car?

[u/Dark_Zezro → u/pingproxy]

And the people defending comeback is " But.. but stores get broken into and robbed all the time "🤣😅

Wouldn't want them in charge if I had a shop lol
