And to others saying PSA 10>bgs 9.5. Here’re the evidence to refresh your mind.

This is the only dude that I honor on E4. Crossing Psa 10 to bgs 9.5. Huge respect. And to others saying PSA 10>bgs 9.5. Here’re the evidence to refresh your mind.

Have BGS shills infiltrated e4?
Just kidding

@arminallmighty gotta admit though, they are really nice and kinda refreshing to look at with their clean slabs, golden labels and subgrades. Looks like you got them just in time!

i’d be very interested to know which card you actually cross-graded from a psa 10. i’ve always said that a psa 10 on average would cross over to around quad 9.5, some sub grades may be 10, some may still be 9, but obviously i have no data on vintage card because of the enormous resource one would need to accumulate enough data points.

do you think you’ll upgrade some of these 9.5 to stronger subgrades? in MTG, people make a big deal out of quad 9.5 or better.

also, did you say you are going after the shadowless 9.5 holo set as well?

man, i thought about going after the bgs 9.5 for the 3 starters, but bgs is hard to find, so i guess i’d have to cross grade, eh?

I definitely think the quad +s will transfer to Psa 10. The Quad +s are seriously flawless top quality cards , in which some cases I’ve paid freaking premium. The ones with the 9 corners , probably not ? Just because you can spot a slight white corner nick ? Hard to say.
IE- the Nidoking was a Psa 10. They hit me with a 9 surface. Also, I purchased a psa 10 1st edition Magneton and send it to BGS the for minimum requirement of 9.5 … they sent the card back and said it did not meet the requirements. Lol. So it’s tricky. The Ninetales crosses to a Quad which I was super hyper and happy about. At the end of the day , be it a 9.5 - a Psa 10 or even in some cases a Psa 9, the majority are good cards.

Also the bgs population report is extremely low! Bgs has been more active in pokemon I feel. They recently started to identify and label thin stamp too ! Which they’ve never done before. I know this because my Alakazam is pop1 ! Pretty cool. I totally respect and love that they do that now. Just another strong way to even more legitimize the cards and there worth.

Awesome. Yeah, I see your BGS certs are the newer numbers, so you’ve been busy! Yeah, my observations over the years align with your cross-grading experience. With the eye test, I definitely think the BGS 9.5 quads or quad+ have looked every bit psa 10. Anyways, it’s the BGS 9.5 with the 9 subgrades that are definitely possible PSA 9 regrades, which gives BGS 9.5 a bad reputation. LOL. anyways, awesome to finally see a legit BGS 9.5 collector! i’m tempted to regrade some of my duplicate PSA 10 base holos over to BGS…but I would want to have quad 9.5, which I don’t think it’s possible to request on subgrades?

Yes, the thin and thick stamp labeling is nice, as long as BGS stays consistent.

You can’t request a quad but you can request a minimum grade of a 9.5 … the rush is real my friend !! Lolll. It’s fun all in all. Just grown men having fun with Pokémon cards and grading shit. My girl thinks I’m crazy. I tell her she doesn’t understand!!!
