My exp with CS has all been the same. PSA doesn't stand out..I think this video showed they aren't consistent.they have the worst pricing structure and their slabs are by far the most plain. The resale value is why people go with them.. but watching the video of the PSA 10 Jordan rc, all getting 9s or lower with bgs solidified their quality. Anyone not using half points and showing subgrades to come up with their magical number requires more scrutiny.

Hilarious results to be honest, and in no good way for PSA. Was buying a '95 Stadium Club Ring Leader's Griffey Member's Only last weekend at a show, and the guy has a CSG 8.5. Came home, asked a guy with a PSA 8 if he could match the price and he went on a foul-mouthed rant on why CSG was a joke, he had 30 years in the business and yap, yap. So, I just said have a nice day. Went back to the show and paid MORE for the CSG. Why? Because screw the PSA seller. 🤣

It's still part of the game, when those 10 pregrades are a miss but you get wins elsewhere, resub and they are bound to hit. Having one sub get 20% gems and the next 65%, no rhyme or reason. Just have to hope the 10's have enough juice to profit and no damage done to the rest of the cards.

You guys just proved how gawd-awful HGA is...

Pretty good tips, except one sticking point. $5 cards that go to $50 with a 10 and only $15 in 9 still can be worth it. Even at a 50% 10 rate you make money. Say you did 20 $5 cards. Your into cards for $500 cost and grading. 10 9’s = $150, 10 10’s = $500 for total of $650 and a 30% profit of $150. If you bump that up to a 70% gem rate you would make $790 at a 58% profit of $290.

Lots of people in the hobby clean their cards, they just might not be as up front about it as we are. If we do not agree with the grade a card got we will crack them and resell them raw. We have had cards that got PSA 6’s resubmitted and then got 9’s and 10’s. It is not deceptive if you note any imperfections.
