Pokémon card collectors in the UK are unhappy after Ace Grading announced massive price increases across its grading services, with some tiers jumping by up to 140%. Ace became popular for offering cheaper and faster grading than companies like PSA. Collectors liked the custom labels and the ability to grade cards in the UK without expensive international shipping. Many fans now feel the company is straying from what made it attractive. Collectors on Reddit and social media complain that the new prices no longer make sense for everyday submissions, especially modern Pokémon cards with low resale value. Some prefer sending cards to PSA, as PSA slabs usually sell for higher prices.

A 45-year-old man was arrested for burglary after hiding inside a Pasadena Best Buy overnight to be first for a new Pokémon card set release. Employees spotted him on live security footage around 1 a.m. and alerted police, who entered with a store key and took him into custody
