Satirical Pokemon card grading skitfrom @genericcards
[01]
Overview
The creator performs a satirical skit mocking the future of Pokemon card grading by filming an overhead view of themselves haphazardly placing cards into sleeves and writing perfect '10' grades on them with a Sharpie. The video cycles through parodies of major grading companies (CGC, PSA, Beckett), using props like a tape measure and magnifying glass to exaggerate the absurdity of the 'grading' process, all set to an unrelated trending audio track to heighten the comedic effect.
