I Started Grading My Own Pokémon Cards for Charity | GroDega Ep. 43

Welcome to Grovara – The Leading Global B2B Wholesale Marketplace!Today’s GroDega episode starts sweet, then turns painfully hot. Peter Groverman taste tests three agave products from Chantico Organic Raw Agave, including natural agave, wild agave, and a hot agave made with organic arbol chili. The raw agave gets high marks, the wild agave gets pitched as a great topping, and the hot agave absolutely lights him up on camera.Then the episode shifts into Pokémon. After collecting cards from the Twilight Masquerade series for months, Peter walks through how he started grading and sealing cards himself. He explains what makes a card authentic, how thickness and centering are checked, what corners and surface condition matter most, and why some misprints have become collectible in their own right.From there, he opens up a Mint hobby case, selects a Kieran full art card, seals it into a magnetic slab with a numbered Scout hologram, and officially mints it for auction. The goal is simple: turn these graded cards into fundraising pieces for Rip for Relief, with proceeds going to The Relief Foundation.If you are into Pokémon cards, card grading, collectible auctions, or just want to watch someone underestimate hot agave in real time, this one is for you.Chapters:00:27 Chantico agave sponsor intro, natural, hot, and wild agave taste test01:58 Natural agave review, sweetener breakdown and calories02:36 Hot agave reaction, organic arbol chili chaos on camera04:26 Why Peter started grading his own Pokemon cards05:41 How Pokemon card grading works, thickness, corners, centering, and misprints08:41 Picking the Kieran full art card and sealing the slab10:11 Scout hologram, certificate, and charity auction plan for Rip for Relief11:25 Final warning, do not try the hot agave on camera without waterGrovara is revolutionizing the way better-for-you (BFY) brands, Consumer Packaged Goods (CPGs), and international buyers connect, transact, and scale.
