Default Revolution Grading

Thoughts?
Very nice people running that show, just can’t get into their slabs.

I just want the most boring, not-distracting slab design. It's about the card, not the slab. I think SGC has the best label design.

LOLOLOL. "Insert" slabs. 1 in 25 odds of a refractor slab and 1 in 50 of a prism refractor slab. Get out

is there a card in there somwhere???

it is camouflaged nicely. grading should be about showcasing the card, not the holder / flip.

I want to like it, since we have the same initials.

But I'm not sold or the slabs or the long term value.

Great for collectors to have another custom slab company.

I noticed the card 3rd when looking at that photo. FYI...thats not a good thing. Once again, another company trying to be like another...thats trying to be like another. If someone truly wanted to compete, create something special and be different...they would actually do something different and not just a parody of the previous guys work.

Am I reading the site wrong, or is $33 really the cheapest submission rate? Doesn't make any sense to pay this company more than SGC. I'm amazed that all of these new garage grading companies are going for high price points rather than trying to fill the $3-$5/card range that GMA has abandoned. The only reason you see so many GMA slabs is because they were so cheap, these companies should follow that model.

I love SGC and their slabs but I’m not a fan of the label. In fact, that’s the only thing I wish they would re-do. I also am a fan of simplicity which is why I love PSA labels. I get what you’re saying and I agree. The Revolution slabs are a little much.

They’re not competing with SGC. They’re competing with HGA. $33 for 50+ cards while HGA still restricts how many cards you can sub, no?

Yesterday I woke up to this big long speel
love poems about growing old together

Then this morning there was more. Like I get it you are trying to make a name for yourself but I clearly read the first one and didn’t respond and now you’re spamming me again. Overplayed.

I asked some questions to their instagram page.

You can request a generic gold/black/white label and a clear slab.

I'm thinking about sending in a couple and see how it comes out.

They had a $10 off each card deal so I sent them 9 cards. I requested that I get clear slabs and to not receive the refractor/prism labels.

I like the labels themselves. I think the border is kind of cool, but its too much for my own cards.

Fancy slabs, but not my style. I commend them for being innovative.

Too much of a food stamp vibe but I do like the guys running the show. I wish HGA had half of their friendliness.
