If you don’t have it already I would recommend getting a centering tool and a loupe so you can suspect the cards better.

Great video! I like how you do it both ways cgc to psa and psa to cgc ❤

CGc slabs are my favorite

Loved the video. I prefer grading with CGC myself. Love the look of the slab upgrade from last year. But like you said, PSA has a chokehold in the industry because of their longevity. I get that everyone has a preference, but it seems lots of people in the trading card hobby paint CGC as inferior to PSA. And not to discredit PSA's graders, but because PSA is the Goliath in the grading industry, it sometimes seems they can throw any number on a slab and get away with it. The Toy's R US Charmander for example.

PSA is very inconsistent but holds value. Cgc frustrates me with the whole shift in company and change in slabs but was happy I have mostly blue slabs in my personal collection. I have a lot of 9-9.5 blue cgc slabs I thought about sending to PSA but don’t see it worth the grading costs for my own personal collection

I’ve seen CGC 10 that shouldn’t have even deserved a 10. There was whitening on the back and centering was horrible. Feel like a lot of these grading companies are slacking PSA included.

I think Psa trys not to give a vintage card a high grade unless you pay for a higher value grading tier so they get their money too or theyre just protecting pop count as some assume. Also Cgc does give higher grades on higher valued cards that are mint cause they dont care about declared values as much at this time. Which is why i send alot of my psa 9s to cgc to get that 9.5 or even 10 if i know the cards better than mint.

I want that playmat where did you get it?

i feel like with all your points there was too much cgc bias... psa grades too strict? cgc win. psa grade too lenient? cgc win....
