BGS 10 is the gold standard and worth more than psa 10 and will be going up with less being graded imo and nobody using beckett

They should call it METH STOP. poor I'm little billy is home without his game console because some JUNKIE broke in & stole it 🤬

Fun debate. Subscribed.

Everyone is a slave to PSA cards with pictures of men on them

I AGRE GIVE ME A 8 OR 9 ANYDAY. THE PRICE DIFFERENCE FOR A 10 IS RIDICULOUS. MOST PEOPLE CAN NOT LOOK AT A 9 OR 10 AND TELL THE DIFFERENCE. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

If a psa 10 is so great...why is a bgs 10 worth more? A sgc gold label sell for more...again,if psa was the goat..it wouldn't matter what other brands put out.

psa 10 is a license to extort customers who feel their brand is better. I will buy a bgs 9.5 faster than a psa 10 and pay 2-5x more.

What holders are the 3 most expensive vintage cards ever sold in? Hont, it's not PSA.

They just want foot traffic, not your cards

If you buy a PSA 10, just like all the recent rookie cards, the price will drop. It’s only the exceptions that hold their value. (Michael Jordan). If I buy a PSA 9 or 8, I-will never loose as much money. However, I still have the CARD I love. That is where the value is for me. PSA or no PSA.

Of course they over rates the insurance policy alone is disgusting they should give you back a percentage of the money back id card does make it to your home there is a company I love ags grading uses a x ray machine and get the same grade every time PSA resubmitted cards and all different grades for the same card they if my card is a 10 it should just get a 10 it shouldn't be pushed down on purpose to keep the tens sacred meanwhile it's probably a 10 in my hands and now I got to resubmit it and they know that so they know they're going to make more money on the card for more attempts it's just unfair these guys on AGS have a grading system where they use an x-ray machine The s*** is takes human error out of the equation like that's perfect and this day and age with the technology we have why the f*** has nobody said this like hey we had the technology why not just using machine and make it legit and show everybody like here's the results this is what the machine said they can see things we can't these things are great this seems like the obvious next step but everybody nobody wants to talk about it and that company should be the most sought after grading company right now I love grading my cards with them I know if I got a 10 it's a 10 they can resubmit it 100 f****** times you'll still get the same number this is where the disconnect between reality and these delusions of grandeur happen with these f****** guys and not for nothing Beckett tens are just as sought after

If I’m collecting I would buy raw. No reason for an arbiter if I never plan to sell, I can judge the card myself.

They will buy from you for $10 but sell it for $60. Like they do with games.

Whoever DeWalt guy is- your argument is lame. Have fun with your PSA 10 idgaf either about PSA 10's. The card matters, not perfection.

Slabs look great, whether its PSA or SGC...I prefer the raw in a mag holder look. 😗🤌

The main reason why PSA holds its value is bc there are sooo many PSA slabs out there, so say if you don't like PSA, but you own a lot of cards in PSA slabs, it's almost hard not to keep PSA up in high value in order for your cards to sell high. It's the flippers who are allowing PSA to take advantage of this dilemma.

14,000 Victor Prizm base cards PSA10 ALOT less in BGS. PSA give out 10s more than McDonalds do happy meals. I know which one I'd want. The one with less quantity and harder to get! Beware! The market will change!

Since we agree that BGS was the gold standard not long ago, how can you confidently claim that PSA is the "stable slab"? If another grading company were to somehow win the hobbys favor then what happens to the psa 10 values? They'll drop the same way bgs has as people crack their psa slabs to sub them to the x grading company

crazy to think you would even consider taking cards to gamestop knowing they offer scam prices for their games..

PSA 10 are not true 10's. They don't have a 9.5

“Vintage is on its way out because young kids don’t care about the older players.” I’ve heard this argument for over 40 years now. It must be true then, right?

We have two shops and three show crews. We travel the midwest show circuit with a group of 15 or so dealers. None of us can move Lebron. It seems like after the draft joke it's gotten even worse. One guy went all in with money he didn't have on Lebron. He's in major financial trouble because of it. From our recent experience they offered more than we would've.

MAKE PSA 9s GREAT AGAIN

Didn't know Gamestop buys sports cards and never would I go there to sell my cards. That's highway robbery. I know they are a business end of the day and they are needing to stay relevant but that isn't it. Great video though.

Love the dog in the video. 😂

Buy the card, not the grade..esp not the grading company …but this is for pc….if flipping, then go w/ psa

Thanks for the video bro, saved me a trip to GameStop..lol 😅

No way in hell will I take my cards or games or anything to sell to them...there were some really low balling there..lol geez!

Not hoping vintage dies but to be able to get some for my PC cheaper would be nice. Still flipping some newer brands to get into the vintage for now. As far as PSA goes.. don't care if they are in my PC but as far as resale it only makes sense atm.

If you’re investing in cards, the vintage hardly loses value and will go up due to the player, as an example Mickey Mantle cards will always be liquid due to high demand, MJ and Kobe, too with Basketball, Walter Payton and Peyton Manning are liquid, Hockey, 100% Wayne Gretzky and with Soccer, u can never go wrong with Messi.

Sorry but any one that wears a DeWalt shirt is obviously delusional ther are no difference between psa 10 or any otherbig grading company and sometimes there is no difference between a 9 or a 10 especially not more than half the value be smart and buy ac 9 as long as the centering is good

PSA is not the "Gold Standard" but the company that is easier to get a GM 10 in. The quality of PSA is is much worse than both SGC and BGS. So many people resubmit the same card to PSA several times and get different grades. My PC is mostly TAG, SGC, and BGS.

Unfortunately you can't change the market. PSA whether right or wrong is the gold standard because buyers and sellers have propped them up there. The only thing that will change that is buyers in particular paying good value on other companies and not just deferring to PSA.

PSA is the only grading company that guarantees their grade and authenticity of a card. No other grading company guarantees anything. This is the single largest reason why they demand the highest value compared to all other grading companies.

earned a subscriber. the grading debate hurts the market a bit i feel. its all about the money nowadays. i dont use psa. ill buy a psa graded card. but will not use them for grading. i love TAG and SGC. quick and easy to submit and you get your cards back within a month.

Bgs 9.5, CGC 10 and PSA 10 are all the same. Unless it’s for resale you can’t go wrong with any company

the fact that you can crack a 9 and get a 10 proves that 10s are over rates. its not a better card, lol. its the same card just a different number on the label.

What are your thoughts on BGS 10 pristines compared to PSA 10? Seems like a MUCH tougher grade to get….

One touch>psa slab

Collectors Holdings, the parent company of PSA, acquired SGC. The deal was announced by SGC on February 29, 2024.

PSA is a scam! Even their CEO of PSA admits that grading is at the whim of the grader that day.

My opinion is not for a PC: Logically, I would agree with the guy on the right and he makes great points. However, the guy on the left is correct because he realizes the market is dictates the value. Even scarcity is determined by grade. PSA 10s are no longer 2-4x more “valuable” than psa 9s, the delta is easily 10x at this point. We are being conditioned to buy the slab and the grade. We even all agree with the inconsistency in grading and a well centered 7 or 8 will look as good as a 10 to the naked eye. I prefer SGC but I only have psa cards. The only cards I keep that are not psa 10s are 1/1s, unique or rare cards. This should help emphasize how ridiculous the market has become. Now we negotiate labels. Old labels are considered “less” valuable (or desired) because grading standards were supposedly different back then. Raw cards sell easier than 9s because people have hopes of getting a 10. The only reason a 9.5 grade is bought is to crack and send to psa hoping for a 10. I realize I am part of the problem at this point 😂. I wasn’t always this way but selling SGC, BGS compared to a PSA 10 is economically crushing. Set up at a show or take identical cards in SGC and PSA and see what consumers or dealers will pay for. And I am not sure the trend will hold as BGS was dominant a decade ago. Great discussion!

Let’s take Victor Wembanyana for example. For the sake of argument, let’s say he wins 3 Titles and ended up being everything the scouts projected as the #1 overall pick. His base Prizm has 7,009 graded for PSA 9 and 13,884 graded for PSA 10. Those are junk wax late 80’s pop counts so will it really matter if you buy the 9 or 10 now? Both cards will be readily available. Now let’s look at his Silver Prizm which is more sought out by high end collectors. There are 772 graded PSA 9 and 2,275 graded PSA 10. Now the Silver is a more rare card than the Base, but not extremely rare. I still say the PSA 9 and 10 Silver will both be in demand in the long-run because neither are a high pop count. There is always a market for collectors who can’t afford the most expensive card and choose the 2nd option. I just think the PSA 9 and 10 are all relative and each have their own market. I think the PSA 10 get the publicity in the hobby because it’s the top dog, but there is a reason the PSA 9’s are still selling on eBay.

If you are sure you have a 10, send it to PSA and they give you a 9, then how much faith do you have in PSA being "The Gold Standard?" PSA has many issues and rather than fix them, their ownership bought their best competition. Ultimately, the value is only in the eyes, wallet and strategy of a buyer. PSA is literally killing themselves with the "New Bad Slabs," over pricing, not allowing grader notes to be shared publicly and flip flopping on their standards. Why would they grade a card a 9 and you resubmit and get a 10 if their standards weren't wishy washy? Too many examples of PSA 10's with visible issues showing on the stabbed card and many perfect cards only getting 9's. There are many brands coming to the hobby that offer grading for less, because many people see the value of money spent on grading. Too many people are banking on PSA and PSA thinks they are the King of the industry and can make the rules for our community. They are a "dead man walking," in my opinion. This situation has happened many times in many industries, like with automobiles. Toyota started cheap, ugly and good quality. Now, they are the biggest and considered one of the absolute best in their industry.

The world agrees to trade in dollars as the gold standard. Other grading companies are like pesos or yen. They are legit currencies, but less desirable to hold. The reason why we the collector have chosen to hold and demand PSA is their registry. More end holders of the cards want PSA than other companies.

Thanks for sharing

PSA is on the gold standard if your a flipper but let’s face just because there is a 10 on the label doesn’t mean that card is gem mint just look at some of the cards in those holders some are 8’s at best so now your getting screwed so buy the card not the label

If you take a PSA 10 and a PSA 9 out of the slabs and shuffle them you wouldn’t have a clue which one was the 10. Why waste the money

I have multiple PSA 10’s with dinged corners and scratches. The card is the card we are too caught up in grading. If we both rip a box and pull the same card that are flawless we are going to wait for PSA to tell us which one should sell for $50 and which one sell for $200?

Its a scam!
