Geoff, they grade it authentic when they think it’s been cleaned or altered some how. Happened to me, that’s what they told me when I reached out. Now we have moron PSA graders thinking they are doing forensic chemical testing with their eyes and just saying ok authentic.

"Authentic" is not a mistake. I get it on orders occasionally. It usually means the card was miscut or minsized, which sometimes they slab and sometimes they don't But if they slab it, it will say "authentic." SGC will probably grade the card.

I got a couple of Authentic grades in my last order and had never had one in the thousands of cards I had previously submitted. I am guessing they are now doing it so they can collect the grading fee, as opposed to when they return the card as min-sized, at which point they get no money

@@gradedcards5516 I agree with that. But they still go back and forth. I have resubmitted cards that were recently minsized and then they slab as Authentic. I have also submitted vintage cards with extreme damage, like a torn back, they slabbed as Authentic. Another bizarre one was a highly valuable rare vintage card that was slabbed as PSA Authentic, I cracked and sent to PSA again, they refused to slab it stating it was "Miscut." I then sent to BGS, who slabbed as a 3. I then sent that slab to PSA for a cross and they slabbed as a PSA 2.5. This was all recently in the course of a few months. 🤣🤣🤣

The grader was protecting the elite PSA 10 club by giving you all those 9’s on the 84 Topps Baseball. Those a lot of those cards looked perfect from the front. I didn’t see any fish eyes, or snow on the surfaces. Centering & corners looked pack fresh.

Classic - love it!

I think psa prob messed up on that austin reaves, but the reaction was funny lol

You should put up the monetary difference between a 10, 9, 8, 7, and raw of all cards that way people can realize how much of a huge deal / difference these grades make when selling. Great video!

I can watch blind reveals ALL DAY. I like Geoff's reactions to the authentic grades, and how the music stops.

Yesssirrr let’s go!

I sent in a 100 card regular order to PSA for dual grading (card AND auto grade). I got the notification that my grades were ready just for my excitement to be turned to anger. All the cards were graded authentic with an auto grade. Notified PSA and had to send them back again to wait another couple weeks.

Funny how BGS 9.5 crosses to a PSA 10 and SGC 10 crosses to PSA 9. For all the PSA and SGC followers… BGS is legit and much better than SGC and PSA in my opinion. You can find many more examples of this if you look at more videos :)

@ORArmpits

8 күн бұрын

I don't think the SGC 10 to PSA 9 speaks to the quality of the card honestly. PSA is so random that you could probably cross an SGC 7 to a PSA 10 and a SGC 10 to a PSA 8 in the same order. SGC is the most consistent grader I have used and I trust their grades way more than I trust PSA (feels like PSA just throws darts).

I love SGC. Waiting for my cards to get graded as we speak

great to see your approach and frustrations. the irony is that submitters generally grade their cards higher than the professionals, yet in reality we highly value the psa opinion. high grade cards are worth more because they best represent perfection as produced and are rare it that special extra nice condition.

Jeff. 6:54 I had this same thing happen to me with a Tony Romo SP rookie. The explanation I got from PSA was. If the card is oversized or perhaps cut incorrectly they will issue an authentic only grade to it. It’s so stupid.

Geoff... what's your trade value on the Burrow tiger stripe? I've asked about that one a few times before, and would like to work out a deal. I can't make the National, but will be in Atlanta in September.

Can't wait to trade at Nationals! Bringing a Jose Ramirez downtown and a few others banger high end rookie cards with me

Great video! I have graded some of my PC as well and same result. Very few 10’s and mostly 8 or 9. So when sending an RPA card, is it better just to authenticate and just grade the auto? When I see videos like they rarely get a 10, sometimes not even a 9. I have few that I would like to get graded because they look so much better in a slab. Any thought on this matter?

The reason you aren't getting 10's with PSA on older cards is because PSA is protecting their POP!

Graders notes on older cards are going to be very, very interesting if they get those to the bulk value

Wow, I opened some 89 Topps football a few weeks ago and they went to soft sleeve then toploader but this video is making me think again. They look great to me, well most of them, but doesn't look like grading them is going to help much. I may just encapsulate. Thoughts? I'll get a couple out and post.

I have graded many of my 1980s and 1990s cards (mainly from my Nolan Ryan and Ken Griffey Jr collection) and most come back an 8 with a sprinkle of 9s and maybe even one 7. I average about 10-15% of the cards I sent in from that timeframe to actually get a PSA 10 and every card I sent I thought looked perfect. So as long as your expectations are tempered, I still say send your best cards in a just see what you get. Expect more 8s and 9s than anything with that ultimate hope of getting at least one 10.

Did you alter the card while cleaning it? 😮 I never seen that.

Yes the authentic has happened to me several times with the 2023 Leaf Pro Set Pure cards.. basically there's something off as far as the cards size potentially..

You could tell Jeff was fuming

Packman is gonna want that bane💎 forsure!

Psa has to throw in a 7 here and there so people don't get suspicious about you having a inside deal for 10s

Jeff- Michael Harris PSA 7 yellow. I saw a pretty big scratch on the upper left side of the card about 25% down from the corner on left side.

I recently sent out the same CJ Stroud purple shock optic card. It had a print line down around his shins, but I figured a graded card is better than a raw card with that flaw. Still waiting to see what it gets.

Mr. Geoff want to see your store in person one day. Can we make it happen 😅. That is one of the reasons I don’t want to send my cards for grading they look 10 to me but 9 or 8 would be disaster.

PSA such a bad grading company. Way too expensive, too slow, mid slabs, inconsistent grading, no details on subgrades... Why does everyone are their slavs hold the highest value? We as a community need to change this.

Ups and downs of a grade reveal are something I am very familiar with. Happy for you on the 10’s that you were able to get. I will say I think PSA is much harder on older cards for some reason and I don’t think that makes much sense. They should grade all cards by the same standard and not try to control the pop report

Do you keep potential cards you’d grade down the line in a separate spot? I know I have cards worth grading buried.

Are you going to be at the national with cardshq

I saw that PSA will starting giving "authentic" or "altered" designations to cards they think someone has used cleaning products on. Im not sure how they think they can tell. Im sure there will be a ton of cards that get this designation, that have actually never been cleaned.

literally hyping authenticated auto graded 10 cards lol

Why didn't it get an Authentic ? x files music plays in my head 😂

Put up comps@!!!

I’ve had that happen when psa damaged my card and they didn’t want to send back as a 3 so they sent as authentic… did they help me out at all… no.

"PSA has good customer service" SAID NO ONE ON PLANET EARTH

I sent my 3 printing plates in and asked them to be slabbed as Authentic. Not sure how you'd grade those anyway, since they're usually dinged up to begin with.

What would make an auto grade lower than a 10, like streaky lines or off center?

The lack of transparency from the largest grading company in the world is utterly shocking. Why do we continue to hold PSA at such a high level. Can we all collectively agree that PSA F'ing sucks?

Part of it is that PSA had marginally better values and a softer service pre-covid and when all the flippers and money seekers saw a milkable cash cow they went to PSA for easier 10s. And now anyone who joins the hobby looking at grading sees "PSA has most value" and goes there. The other part of it is the set registry. PSA still has the best registy. SGC needs to get one, CGC's needs to be better, I don't really know anything about BGS, and probably need a good "outsider" one for proper competition to drive this part out of the discussion.

PSA is just one huge screwup. They will charge you again to look at the authentic screwups.

if they grade an 8 i probably should’ve left it raw. it grades an 8 Fair enough lolololol

The acting is sooooo bad on this one lol

Authentic reason is probably because they thought you used Kurts Card Care on it lol

I've seen a psa 7 cracked and come back a 10 and a 9 come back lower!😂

I know you can request just an authentication at a certain preset grade you pick for example, if it gets a six grade or below, they just authenticate and you can request that.

PSA doesn't slab minsize or miscut(recent) cards so all I could think of is that someone missed a spot if a solution was used to clean the surface

No 10 on the '84 Mattingly! 😭

Need to get those eyeballs checked Geoff.

They grade plates as authentic now. Just got an order back with one as well just as authentic in a 50 card order.

Should have bought the service with grader notes. Oh wait, you wouldn’t be able to share the notes with us anyways.

the harris 7 had a crease on the back.

PSA is so inconsistent with not only their card grading, but their auto grading. Like you Geoff I submitted a Jalen Hurts RPA /25 with a really strong and bold auto which they somehow gave it a 9.

For the raw cards that you didn’t want less than a 9 on, why don’t you use the option that keeps the card raw if it grades less than whatever you dictate you want?

Put on prices next time pls, makes it a lot more fun. Thx :D

I guess if you have deep pockets, grading cards that have to be 10's to make dough on 'em would be fun...20 bucks a card to grade has made me hit the 10x lighted magnifier pretty hard. 80's cards have such an ink flow difference in the same card that you have to have 10+ copies for comparison to get a feel for the really vibrant examples.
