    Honestly – this was incredible. I wish I could present in such an informative and coherent manner. Beckett, glad to see some Magic the Gathering content!

    This is absolutely the most monumental video about MTG grading in the world, ever. So much information about the print-runs, card population and difficulties with older sets like alpha despite opening them straight out of the box. Then all demonstrated with a live opening of a very rare sealed starter. Many thanks to Adam, Beckett and Cardhaus Games for making this possible! I loved it.

    Man these cards were just so gorgeous, perfect. Timeless unforgettable memories.

    Was an awesome thing to witness. I kept checking to see if Adam was reading the pop report info from a teleprompter, but clearly dude knows his stuff. Thanks Beckett, CHaus, & Adam.

    Wow!
    That was such an awesome video I’ve enjoyed every second of it!
    So much clear and well structured information in one video and then that insane Ancestral Recall at the end!

    Just insane! That card left me speechless!

    Awesome, thanks Adam!

    the opening of the starter itself was fun to watch! its like time travel :) also nice listening to adam, a real standup guy and a friend in magic business for years now. but the 2 surprises at the end just blew my mind, i have no words to describe the joy i felt when watching this =)

    Quality production. This is why BGS is generally so much better than other grading services. Great info for the serious collectors out there.
