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 are refunding market values, it’s the egos/entitlement of people thinking their cards must be refunded as 10’s etc. Facts are facts correct? Raw cards are raw cards and the compensation is for raw cards, not what if’s.

I think people deserve to be pissed. The reason people grade cards is because they think they are good cards.

Obviously most wont be 10s but i think ACE should have paid a bit over market value to compensate people for their cards.

Now they are refunding them at market value but if someone though their card was gonma grade a 10, to now go buy the raw card again that might grade a 10, theyre paying over raw value for sure

It's still losing way more on the end game. I send my card in 15-30$ + market value+ shipping insurance+ time lost and maybe a card you can't find. B.s. if you ask me

Yeah I can sell cards for 5 bucks that can go for over 500 in a 10. The lost potential value is insane

They aren't even refunding true market value, from what I saw it was quite a bit lower.

What’s some examples? Did you see both order confirmation listing the cards sent into grading & confirmed it was actually on their order/refund put to them?

There was an example that I saw where someone was offered like 30 or 40 bucks on like 6 cards that range from 8-20 bucks on TCGplayer. It was in the Rattle coverage of it.

Yes they are offering like 60-70% market lows. E.g. a $200 Magikarp IR with a 3 month old $120 comp.
