@@likeasoldier What's an alternative price model then? They charge 1 price no matter the value of the card? That number would be much more than the current cost for cheap cards making them not worth grading. Probably would have to be at least $30 a card, probably closer to $40 or $50. Then they would make less money and people would never be able to get cheaper cards graded.

The thing is these cards should all be 10s coming out of the pack. We're basically grading to see how we got screwed by the card companies. Lol

through January and February of this year, 50% of all cards submitted were valued at $50 or less. FIFTY PERCENT! And of that half of all submissions, 30% of those were valued at $25 or less. This is 100% the reason for the huge backlog.

From a collector standpoint, I would buy nice 9's instead of 10's, because there is so little difference in quality between a nice 9 and a 10 that we generally can't see the difference without magnification or tilting the card at an angle under a bright light. :)

@ojiang86

Жыл бұрын

Yeah, also especially with modern cards the difference between a 9 and 10 depends on how the grader feels that day. That's why I'm looking forward to AI graders like AGS becoming more popular.

If the naked eye can’t see it, what’s the issue? If you need a x10 magnifier to see flaws. That’s kinda lil over the edge. IMO.

I'm sure it's explained but do I just send the cards to you and you guys prep the cards before they go to psa or do I have to do the prepping before I send to you?

Definitely going through Geoff and Joe when I do my 1st ever PSA submission. 1 of the best on here covering sports cards. Thanks Geoff for your work

The fact that you are both still guessing on what the flaws are screams for a need for subjectivity, consistency, and transparency. I think PSA is watering down the value of 10s because they seem to give so many. Still curious your thoughts on HGA and the idea of technology to grade?

@steamingpanda2.177

3 жыл бұрын

Nah. Nothing wrong with humans grading. Worked for years. HGA just gives every card a 9.5 lol A.I. too harsh on centering IMO. They showed that the corners and centering play a big role in why some didn’t gem mint. Problem with a lot of chrome cards, especially Panini ones, is surface damage/print lines. Basically impossible to check surface issue of a card in a slab. Since the surface of the slab itself has scratches.

Soooo...basically you all have no idea why you got 9s or 10s. The only thing I learned from this is 2 dudes esentially saying "we don't know" or "I think". No one knows the reason why PSA feels like doing 10s here or 9s there. Also, let's not act like PSA 9s are garbage. Geez...what have we become?

Question for the grading services. Does Joe and his team do crossovers? And if a card just needs cleaned, is that covered free, or is there a charge for that?

I suspect that the grading companies 'grade' the submitter before they grade the card. Dealers get 10's and individuals get 9's. That keeps the collectors going to the dealers and makes the hobby stronger by supporting the dealers.

Joe is one of the best and most knowledgeable guys in the bussiness!

What box did you open to get rare cards like these that are number like 1 of only 10 made?

I have a question about putting cards in top loaders before grading. 10 years ago I got some graded from psa and just put them in card savers and that's all they wanted them to be in. Now I see people are putting them in soft sleeves first. I thought psa literally cut the edges of the top loader to get the cards out. It seems to me a bigger chance for damage putting them in soft sleeves first. Any opinion is welcome.

Awesome Vid Geoff . You got some fire in your hands there . How do you hold it without burning . 😂 Thanks for sharing . I never submitted any cards to get graded yet . I will check out your service . Seems like a win win . Hoping you deal with Canadian collectors . I smashed the like . POW 👊

I'm surprised people still collect jordan cards since he didn't play for the lakers at the end of his career.

I remember having a Jeremy Maclin Certified rc auto quad materials (I think numbered to 10) with a helmet, jersey patch, cleat, and ball...got a bgs 10 despite the raised areas around the helmet and cleat swatches.

Geoff, great video - one question regarding PSA for which I haven’t gotten a consistent answer to - and have had inconsistent grading results: does the presence of a hologram/sticker on the back of the card (ie Steiner, Fanatics, PsA, Beckett Witnessed or the player’s own respective company) impact the card’s grade? For several months PSA said it would not and I received many 9’s to back that up on vintage cards. In the last couple months the story changed and was told it would dock by a numeric grade and my last batch of cards reflect that too (unfortunately all 8’s). Any insight or thoughts from your PSA experience?

16:18 The cool thing about your service is you ACTUALLY list the lead times. 👍👍👍

I bought a bunch of raw vintage cards off of Joe at the last national. I was the tall guy with the red luggage bags lol was there all four days. Great time and hopefully they will be back in July!

You should take high rez photos of your cards b4 sending them in because what if it was a PSA grader that put corner marks on those cards? They're human and handle them outside of their cases so I'm sure they've caused damage themselves sometimes. I've even seen them catch them inside the bottom stoppers of the slab putting a crease in them. So they're a 10 but now have a crease but they still send them back. PSA has been getting some really bad reputation these last few months with some truly insulting grades with ppl breaking out 4s and 5s of amazing looking card with no surface defects and sending them to other really tough companies and getting 8s and 9.5s back. They REALLY need to get their act together as a lot of people are losing faith in them.
