Shaking Graded Pokemon Cards Causes DAMAGE?! Let’s Find Out

Millions of dollars are spent each year on grading cards, but are they even protected?

Can shaking a PSA or CGC graded card actually cause damage to our cards? Whether it’s Pokemon, Sportscards, or some other trading card, instead of wondering, I decided to find out myself.

I think it would be interesting to get those cards regraded to see just how much the score was affected by the shaking!

[PokeRev]

This is amazing content Pat. Thanks for experimenting for us!

this channel is such a breathe of fresh air from just pack openings or card values. just straight up fun enjoyable content

Oh no! I’ve been storing my grades cards on isolating tools for years

I remember seeing the interview with that Pokémon charizard collector guy... how he kept telling the hosts that they were: free to throw his graded card back and forth playing catch or drop it and that it was essentially damage proof in the slab.

Maybe he was actually right.

You should do holo cards next to see if the holo can get scratched during normal or intense shaking

For the next one, do consider testing if there's discoloration arising from exposure to UV/sunlight with slabbed cards. Thanks Pat!

You’re way to good at making videos 👏🏻

[scorpionsen]

This is extremely interesting and something I hadn't considered before

[tendovibes]

You got PSA and CGC out here sweatn'

[RocSandy]

You already know its going t be a crazy vid when there's Legos involved😂

The shaking is even worse on Japanese cards, psa slabs suck on Japanese cards.

Just found this gent on the PokeRev vid yesterday. I have to say these are some high quality videos mate. I'm glad I found your channel.

It’s a straight out of a page of MythBusters. Myth Busted now let’s make it happen! Cool video

Came from TwiceBakedJake and I'm not disappointed at all! This is the content I've been looking for ever since the hype on Pokemon returned and all I wanted to do was preserve my vintage collection. One-Touch slabs have been very nice with a perfect fit to prevent shaking since the 35pt is just a hair too small for a Pokemon card without a sleeve, resulting in the same thing you showed in the video. Thank you!!! Keep up the great content!!!

The fact that you even have this much time in your day to think about something like this... and do an experiment like this.. haha. I love it, gotta get on your level!

[SuperSkateToLive]

Production, quality and creativity. this guy got it.

[Robin-hwel]

Really comforting video. Im just about to send some cards off, but this topic kept me from it. Getting confirmation that they are actually safe is really good 😂

You should include all PSA CGC BGS, even though when shaking BGS has no room for movement, I’m still curious to see the outcome after serious shacking. Maybe we might have different finding thank our initial prediction.

That’s actually very useful to know and see the results. So in an average collectors possession, just sitting on the shelf it won’t damage the card if it gets jostled a bit.
