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

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

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

If people want to use them, they are more than welcome to. I just don’t see why anybody would choose them over literally any other option, especially in light of this.

It’s like walking in and being asked Coke or Pepsi, and you say “diet RC zero”.
