[CHALLENGE RESULTS] Who is the best PSA estimator here?

General
1

The grades are in! And without further delay…

I went through each participant’s entry and calculated a total score based on how far off each of the scores was from the actual score. A perfect score would be 0, which means each estimate was exactly the same as the final grade. The lower your score, the better your estimates :blush:

With much fanfare, I would like to present the WINNER of the forum’s first PSA estimation challenge:

XZINI with a final score of 10 points! Great job!

Well we can be certain that the PSA insider that’s trying to limit the number of shadowless 10s is still in full power :laughing: Not a single person here guessed that the Machamp would receive a 10 (not even me and I was able to see these cards in person - there were several cards in much better condition!). Will be interesting what you guys think about the actual results and your estimates. Personally I think the Nidoking (8) and Venusaur (7) grades are crazy - they are both in garbage condition in my opinion.

Below is each person’s detailed score report to see how your estimates compared to the actual grades for each cards. Let me know if you guys want to do another one of these in the future, it was fun!

Wow! Very detailed breakdown… I can tell that took a lot of work @hypernova . And well done @xzini :relaxed::+1:

The Nidoking and Zapdos were a little surprise… and maybe the third Charizard. I can’t complain about 2nd place though :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: overall it was fun and friendly little competition.

Only Machamp got a 10? Ouch. That’s quite brutal. :slightly_frowning_face:

Good job @xzini!

OP, if you’re looking to part with a Alakazam and Raichu 9 let me know thanks. Pm’d you before with no answer. I guess they’re going in the private collection. :wink:

Now its time for regrades xD

So yeah if we round off my conservative 9.5s to 9.

Gyarados | 9 | 9 | Perfection estimation

also dude… I said 3 times in all 3 stimates vensuaur was a 7… WHy you put 6?

There for i should atleast get 13 xD

Also english sucks, im more of a japanese guesser. since they all get 10s xD

dam should have given your perfect holo cards 9s. its all your fault. must have been scratches you missed.

man garinson must be getting senial.

PSA is senial also… giving the machamp out of all those 10 candidates the 10. HAd the biggest piece of edge whitening ding. xD

so since you rigged my results. and your the problem. heres what It should really look like:

Yayyy thank you :grin: I’m surprised it went so well as it’s always bit difficult to judge cards from pictures :blush:

For example seeing defects on cards and not being sure if it’s on the card or on the sleeve etc. But this was very fun, thanks for organizing it :blush:

Most cards should’ve/could’ve gotten a 10 if it wasn’t for the (jagged) silvering caused by probably raw cutting knives… It was not so apparent on that Machamp, however that ding is still pretty huge… for a 10.

Good work hype.
