I think BGS, CGC, AGS and PSA will be the only companies that are pretty relevant for the future of grading in general, with maybe AGS taking the lead because of their accurate AI grading that won’t be fooled by cross grading/ slab cracking resubmits.

Great video my dude. PSA does have the imagery feature. I bought a Shiny charizard v PSA 10 and when I looked up the barcode I saw the Charizard images they took at PSA. But I’m not too sure how to do it. Definitely prefer BGS and PSA for value. But I have a ton of cards I just want to get graded for me, good to know these options.

I am new to buying graded cards. I heard about PSA is when dealing with PSA grades is, you could have pulled a card directly from a fresh pack. But if they grade the card, and the grader feels it is a Gem mint 10. And worth or sells for a lot of money, they hold the card until PSA gets more money for the card.

@@motomon9848 I also graded a NM card that was easily a 8-9 and it scored 4 because of a “dent” on the card. I used a jeweler’s eye glass and found 0% damage on the surface so I had a friend look at it and he said there’s a very small dent on the edge and I could barely see it even then. So it should have been an edge grade but they knocked me down those -4 points because it was considered a dent and not edge wear so that was stupid also. I’m cross grading that card because I know it’ll be a 7 at the least since it scored 2/3, 3/3 and 3/3. That was my last straw so I’m no longer grading with Degree.
