CGC Changed Their Grading Scale & Label

Ah that’s a bummer. Did you cross grade with cracking yourself or have them do it?

I always crack them out first

See I’m too scared to do that myself

Not to derail this too much but I’d be more scared of bgs damaging stuff than you. They’ve damaged plenty of my slabs and cards and usually don’t care at all to fix it. A lot of people assume I’m a huge bgs fan because I use them alot

But it was always for the slab label not being colorful and distracting. I have already moved towards CGC

Hmm so this one started as a 9.5 I assume even though it says pristine 10? Cause it doesn’t have the gold

It says gem mint 10 not pristine but yeah it was a 9.5

It says pristine 10 under the grade in the description not on the label itself is what I meant

Oh you’re right. That is weird. I found it by scanning the 9.5 so idk it’s not mine. But it definitely is the 9.5

Not sure if this is the right thread for this but when I go on PSA pop reports I can’t see any of the 8.5 reports on the shadowless cards. I’m just trying to see if there is an 8.5 for every holo or not

You’ll want to look at the “+” row. This is the half-grade population report.

For example, there are 15 Shadowless Alakazam in 8.5 and 0 with a Qualified (Q) grade (e.g., Marked [MK], Miscut [MC], Off-Center [OC], Stained [ST], and two more common in sports: Print Defect [PD] and Out of Focus [OF]).

CARD NO. NAME C AUTH 1 1.5 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
1 Alakazam-Holo Grade 1 25 34 73 177 345 391 449 606 385 32
Shadowless + 1 0 0 0 1 2 1 15
Q 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0

I need to get used to the new label since I initially had a new=bad reaction but the policy changes really are wild. Have we seen what error labels are gonna look like?
Also my perfect 10 sub graded error card will never leave my collection now

You can see an example in their original post. Looks the same for errors as current errors
