2025年2月5日 · I believe this just devalued my cards - particularly the .5 grades. I have 27 PSA 7s, 5 PSA 7.5s, 122 PSA 8s and 93 PSA 8.5s - mostly 50s and 60s. Graig of Mid-life makes a good point on his video - the change comes at the time of the 9 digit serial numbers which will forever make 9 digit serial numbers come at a premium.

2005年5月18日 · This is a grading company that I have been impressed with. Their grades are like PSA's and their holders are so much more convenient. The holders are simply fantastic. Not only do they have a slip like PSA's you can also tell what card is in the holder by reading the top.

2008年12月14日 · A laid back company. Some of my old jokes.. Once I dropped my pencil in with my sub and it came back slabbed as a mini bat. Gee Everythings Mint Good Eye Missing Gets Easy Money From their site "GEM Grading Services Inc. …

2023年8月15日 · Hey there, I am new to grading and went with TAG because the process was simple for me. They do drops for the grading service every 2-3 weeks and you can pick 5, 10, 20, and I believe 40 card subs, currently it's $14 per card and the last time I submitted it was year 2000 and up as they are new and ramping up, they may be doing 89' and up now.

2018年9月13日 · I've had multiple items crack out of KSA and grade even w/ PSA but sometimes they will be lower by a grade. When buying, always assume that the grade will be 1 to 1.5 lower in PSA than KSA when determining your max bid, and be hyper-critical in examining high res scans before pulling the trigger, and you have a chance at it paying off.

2005年11月16日 · The Old Days - Red & White flip (very similar to PSA's) - Good grading/authentication - overgraded by about 1 point relative to PSA (i.e. CSA 8 = PSA 7) 2. The Middle Period - Oversized blue holders with set/year stamped on holder - OK grading/authentication - overgraded by about 2 points relative to PSA (i.e. CSA 8 = PSA 6) 3. …

2011年10月20日 · CSA was the second oldest grading company. They started right after PSA. I believe it's Certified Sports(or sportscard) Authenticators. Their first holders and flip (also red) were identical to PSA. They later changed it to an ugly holder with a …

2009年12月17日 · That being said, for the overall consistency and resale over the full range of issues from 1880-2009, I would go with PSA and SGC leaving BGS for anything post 1985 (although I have no use for anything from BGS) and avoiding SGC on modern material. PSA is your best bet for 1940 to present. SGC is pretty much on par with PSA from 1880-1940.

2013年1月17日 · PSA is not superior to any other grading company. They have employees making subjective decisions just like the other companies have employees making subjective decisions. PSA has simply found a way to capture the attention of collectors through a new kinds of "sets" via the registry.
