One thing that you always have to keep in mind is that the different grading companies emphasize different things when they grade. BGS is absolutely ruthless on centering, but I have seen tons and tons of cards that they've graded where the corners are absolutely embarrassing. On the other hand, PSA is really strict on corners and will give a bit on centering. The best option is probably to send to whichever company doesn't emphasize the specific card's flaws as much.

Grading is a dice roll - it's all humans. So early in the day they're sharp, late in the day they're not. Certainly an "art" and an exercise in stamina for graders. They're no different than you or I.

SGC not consistent if your crossing , BGS will always be the toughest grades, if edges or corners are 9s I wouldn’t cross Worse case it would have been a 9 PSA which means break even so good on you for taking the chance

8.5 to a ten is a big jump. I've sent cards in to BGS recently which I thought would mainly get 9's and 9.5's. Most got 8.5's. I sent cards from the same set in worse condition to PSA and they all got 9's. It all depends on the grader. I will crack out the BGS 8.5's and send to PSA when the fees come down a bit more.

My take: BGS RCR plays it safe bc it's your guaranteed lowest possible grade if you chose to slab it with them. It's entirely possible that you could've turned this in and seen it bumped up. Their centering grade for an 8 is 60:40 front centering, hence the 8.5 (can only be .5 higher than your lowest subgrade at BGS). PSA allows up to 60:40 centering on 10s. They prefer eye appeal. Not trying to say this is a common thing and everyone should be searching for 8.5 BGS slabs with an 8 centering grade, just that it's not totally out of the realm of possibility and it doesn't mean either company missed something. I would bet that the guy that RCR'd it at BGS just played it a little safe when he saw the centering.

All this video does is raise even more question for me in relation to grading and this hobby, after coming across all the pwcc psa shenanigans. One can only conclude that none of it is reliable and what appeared to be a highly reputable system is a bit of a facade. Kind of devastating actually because I was really interested to get back into it.

I have also observed from the cards I have had graded, PSA may take into consideration if the card being graded is already heavily psa10s. It seems the more rare the card, the better a chance for a psa 10. Again my observations from only my ultra modern cards graded. Anyone else seen similar situations?

As far as the older guy you got the Trevor Lawrence from, if he indeed obtained an offer of $3K "CASH" offer from a dealer, then why wouldn't he go back to said dealer? Instead he traded you for the Josh Allen PSA 9 and $2K cash? If someone approached me with a story like that, my first instinct would be to offer far below that and if the guy even considers it and/or later accepts it, I would immediately decline. At the end of the day, I think he "SOLD" you on a story and you fell for it, it's okay, we all have at some point, especially me, who has been collecting cards since the early 80's. Wait, I can't say I was actually "collecting," I was buying the cards because my friends had them in their spokes and I wanted to buy them and place them in the spokes of my BMX bike, you know to be cool when you ride with that fluttering sound. Until the card rips or it rains, then back to the corner store to rinse and repeat! Brother, I love your channel.

There are a million examples of people cracking both PSA & Beckett slabs & sending back to same company. Most shown getting different grades, usually higher because the person was unhappy with a low grade. Also a PSA 10 can be 91/100 while BSG 8.5 can be 86… To me it more says the community should pick what service is better with specific standards. Example vintage sports PSA other BSG. Finally BSG express grading system is iffy to me.
