I respect MISB/MOC collectors, I love seeing people's graded stuff.

Ahsoka 90+!!! Awesome, that is a stellar piece. Nice other additions as well. Wicket should've done better imo. Anyways, it's a Kenner original and great condition is very hard to find. Thank you again for sharing Joey! You da man!!

[scotthildebrand]

Anytime just a little piece of the color layer is missing, typically from a price sticker removal, it automatically makes it a 70 grade. But, I think anything 70 and above is a great condition card. A 70 grade is very under rated. As long as it puts a smile on your face 👌😉

Awesome video love the display cabinet in the background I love watching you do Star Wars it’s so immersive

ICCC 2023 is going to be fantastic! I'll be there 100%

What a journey Ahsoka has been on! Conceived during a Hasbro Pulse Pre-Sale, to my possession in Los Angeles; she was born in California! Back in a box for the short trip to Joey in San Diego. From there she flew to Nashville, Tennessee, and was autographed by the actor that created her character, @AshleyEckstein

At this point she was handed-off to strangers that brought her to West Palm Beach, Florida; a somewhat troubling sign, at least in theory, but rest assured, she was in good hands @CAS

After a few months visiting Florida, she was laid in acrylic and shipped back to San Diego, California, her new home for the foreseeable future.

Once home, in the security of her Padawan Collector, it was discover she's a true Mint On Card, with a combined score of 93.6 WOW

Joey has already discussed keeping her in his possession and passing Ahsoka down to the his children and hopefully their children and generations beyond. Realistically, Ahsoka's journey has just begun; it's hard to predict how the next 150 to 200 years will go. Anyone want to try to predict Ahsoka's future? My guess, an eventual museum piece

Thanks for another great episode. I always learn something from your journey.

Rock On Joey!!! You did Well, My Friend! Great Video, full of fun and suspense. Very Entertaining🤘🤩

[MoparMcNeer]

Always fun to watch you open these live (recorded, but you know what I mean) and to see your expressions as you see the grades for the first time. I know you were a little bit disappointed at Wicket only getting a 70, but it's always a learning experience and will give you a better frame of reference for the next one you send off. I was super stoked to see your signed Ahsoka get a 90 grade!!! That was definitely one that you wanted to hit on the higher end and it was every bit worth it to see that it did meet that goal. I was also interested in seeing your GoA Ahsoka and how that was graded, as these aren't generally treated that well in the store when new given these are at a lesser price point. Still really cool to see it graded and encased in acrylic. Super fun video Joey. Looking forward to the next round of graded items that you send off. Thanks for sharing your honest reactions and your experience with us.

Hi Joey, really enjoyed this episode! Hope you are well 🙂

[highsociety]

I love your reactions, Joey. Even when you're disappointed you keep your cool and find the good in a frustrating experience. That's such a noble personality trait. Wishing you continued success!

[trentloveridge]

I love the graded Ewok! 70+ is better than no grade at all! I love your channel. I’m Bummed there wasn’t a loose figure addition to the cabinet. It’s been two weeks! Maybe next week🤞

[Jday]

Awesome video as always also so glad to hear your going to have a panel at iccc.

[BluckersVideosandToys]

Oh wow this is pretty cool! I only have one graded item which is vintage Bucky O'Hare figure that I found at a local shop. I think it's 80+.

[eddiehizo]

Congratulations on your 90 plus on Ahsoka !!

[xdd_fishlips]

Awesome Joey! Great grades dude. I absolutely love getting figures graded. Haven’t had any done recently because of money. But so enjoy choosing what to send and waiting for it to come back and seeing what grade it gets. I use UKG who are really good at what they do. I would love to use cas one day. But it’s a pain sending from the uk. Keep it up dude and take care 🤘

[geekstrong]

Awesome Congratulations on the grades, Wicket is now Lowgray.. I mean Low Grade 💪😆

[SeriouslyStarWars]

That’s awesome! I’m curious about the price to grade items & they grade Funko pops. Great video Joey!

[seansimmons]

Just curius should I grade my funko pops with PSA or CAS
