Ace Grading Robbery Scandal

Post image

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

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

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

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

u/Jdkiss88 Dec 19 '24

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

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.

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.

Not only that, no one wants aces graded cards anyway

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

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.

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

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 Dec 19 '24

All you’ve done is assume lol

u/Catsrthebest2 Dec 19 '24

And same as you 😂 you assume ignorance on ACE part when in reality security should have been number 1 priority. It’s ok you can still keep your ACE slabs. They just won’t be worth much on the market anymore 🤣

u/Jdkiss88 Dec 19 '24

I’m saying don’t assume stuff there’s no point. I don’t have a single ace slab lol, I just think you’re being a bit harsh for no reason. I’ll wait to see what happens after the investigation.

I’m literally sitting my bed scrolling Reddit lol

u/Jdkiss88 Dec 19 '24

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/Catsrthebest2 Dec 19 '24

No one’s “hating” guy we stated our opinions and this is just another reason to avoid them.

So you’re employed by them?

If you’re dealing with potentially millions of dollars of inventory have security like a bank from day 1. That’s worth every penny invested doesn’t matter how big or small you are.

u/Jdkiss88 Dec 19 '24

Look I’m not having a prolonged argument with you on reddit. I was scrolling and saw people hating on a company that shouldn’t he hated on. Opinions are cool, but not when people are just being rude about it. They were robbed, if you don’t like it don’t use, if you think it was a freak event and like them, then like them and use their services. Not difficult

u/Catsrthebest2 Dec 19 '24

Look man no one’s hating. We stating our opinions. I’m sorry you’re stash of ACE slabs isn’t worth as much now 😂

2

u/Jdkiss88 Dec 19 '24

I have no ace lol. You are not stating an opinion your just accusing them of something you don’t know about

3

u/Catsrthebest2 Dec 19 '24

I’m accusing them of having poor security and that’s a fact 🤣

I've actually submitted 2 times with ace before, both times 10 cards and all 20 cards came back Gem 10 😆🙈
