Great question Marty!
Not looking at or caring about gem rates when looking at what to submit for grading is a HUGE error in Dr Cracks opinion. Absolutely always check gem rates before sending in cards GEM RATES matter!!! Now obviously buying a bunch of dinged cards or off centered cards will skew the gem rate percentage, that is why we advise you to pre-grade your cards with a loupe and a centering tool. After you pre-grade and select the cards, you think will gem that is when gem rates will take place and matter.
Hey Chad – Good thoughts.
I think Gem Rates matter also – in general – and in concept – and as a blanket statement. and I think they should be checked, but my point in this video is more around not overthinking it. If there’s a play in a vacuum you want to make that involves grading – like the Bronny James play, Connor Bedard Sticker play, etc. where you’re trying to be first to the market with graded cards, then Gem Rate doesn’t matter all – because there is no Gem Rate.
Now, Gem Rate is a major factor in some of the plays we talk about in our buy-raw-in-bulk and grade, but one-off singles purchases, I’d argue Gem Rates don’t matter that much. The condition of the card you’re actually purchasing matters MUCH MORE.
