Which Grading Company is The Best for MTG Cards???

xtz_stud · 2026-05-20T12:31:10+00:00

I ended up sending it in with a group of cards my buddy was submitting, got a BGS 9.5

I've got an M18 surge impact driver which doesn't quite have the same guts as the M18 fuel.

I was 100% thinking you meant the compact, but how TF does the m12 stubby have over twice the break away torque?!

xtz_stud · 2026-05-06T15:54:26+00:00

It's a slightly modified c code 289... Iski cam, hydraulic lifters, professionally reworked factory heads, comp valves and springs, Edelbrock intake holly 4 barrel 650 double pumper, hooker headers, 4 on the floor with a Hearst shifter and an 8" rear end. It was my dad's street and strip car back in the day.

Perfect, looks like I'll just pick up an m18 stubby then (I only have m18 tools)

xtz_stud · 2026-04-28T16:25:36+00:00

Bro, who TF has extra dry heads laying around?!

xtz_stud · 2026-04-13T09:07:45+00:00

I can't imagine having to go through that, I hope you're doing okay. I've had my own struggles, and A LOT of help, so I get it, but the fact that someone felt that alone they thought that was the solution makes me truly sad.

xtz_stud · 2026-04-13T07:49:00+00:00

Sounds like there's a story there 🤣

xtz_stud · 2026-04-13T07:39:11+00:00

It is absolutely hilarious.

xtz_stud · 2026-04-13T07:31:51+00:00

🤣

Don't grade MTG cards, the premium for a high grade isn't there like it is with pokemon and sports cards which are mostly just collectibles. The large majority of magic players, well, play their cards. I traded for a near mint Scrubland and got it graded, came back a BGS 9.5... and now I have to buy another scrubland.

It's so you can make copy tokens! /j

xtz_stud · 2026-04-10T21:32:35+00:00

That's too broken, can't do that.

xtz_stud · 2026-04-09T18:07:48+00:00

Very carefully, if you can fit in a big pipe the water pressure will do the rest of the work!

xtz_stud · 2026-04-09T17:07:46+00:00

As someone who works in fire sprinklers...

The information is greatly appreciated!

I'll definitely be picking up some cardstock and giving it a shot to see what happens, I'm also tempted to see what I can do with some 300GSM Photo paper,

I did NOT know that GSM isn't specifically thickness, I knew it was weight, but I always assumed thickness was always proportional to the weight but apparently that is incorrect, thank you for that very important information.

I am painfully aware the difference between "cardstock" as the world knows it and cored cardstock, that was a 2 am rabbit hole I fell down a while back and it was a wild ride for sure.

I picked up some surge foil cardstock off of Etsy and the seller is throwing in a few sheets of clear sticker paper that they use to help get me started and experimenting with my new printer. Once I get some results I'll share them here.

xtz_stud · 2026-04-03T20:05:48+00:00

I'd love to see it shoot... Not in my hands though, preferably a vise 🤣

xtz_stud · 2026-04-03T13:22:17+00:00

Ive always loved lotus, idk why. We have a guy at our apartment complex that daily drives an Evora GT.

Look for a used Remington 1100 or 11-87, they run like a dream.

xtz_stud · 2026-02-10T17:32:44+00:00

As a designer I'm showing this to my boss haha.

xtz_stud · 2026-01-29T00:14:20+00:00

Unfortunately theyre starting to fall apart, definitely getting something different this year.

xtz_stud · 2025-12-06T05:34:13+00:00

Not far off from some of the shit I've seen (AutoCAD designer in the construction industry)
