Has anyone done any cross grading from CGC to PSA or vice versa as of recently with results to share?
I know there had been quite a few cross grades from CGC to PSA before CGC had changed their grading scale, but don’t see them anymore. And I also never seen anyone tried to cross grade from PSA to CGC.
I know many people will have different opinions on this, but for me a PSA 10 is equivalent to a CGC 10 in terms of difficulty. And I also get the sense there is a inherent bias for many that believe PSA grades more harshly simply because it’s the standard and trades at a higher price.
You won’t find too many PSA to cgc crosses for this reason. Even if it’s just as hard to get a 10 with cgc (which I agree), the market values PSA higher regardless so you won’t find too many people willing to guarantee a monetary loss for the same grade.
not always true, also both companies will weigh different kinds of damage differently. And there is inherent variability within each company. But if I was forced to make a general ranking, this is how I would do it.
Thank you for sharing and your results are super interesting! If you are able, would you mind sharing close up front and back photos on some? Very curious about your championship arenas, paradise resort staff, masaki gengar, and grand party. I am guessing grand party was a PSA 6 for indent originally? Thank you so much
