Hey Guys,

In Europe is a Grading service called EGS - European Grading.  
Is anyone experienced and is able to tell me if the standard is comparable to PSA?  
I’d Like to buy a few cards, crack them and send them to PSA. Is this worth it or is the standard lower?

Thanks in advance.

From what I’ve seen, they are quite inconsistent with minor damage at higher grades. I’ve seen pretty bad 9s and 9,5s - I would only trust them in regards to seeing larger indents, bends and such, but then again I’ve seen them treat minor “out of booster” bends very forgivingly, while PSA would knock such a card down to a 7 or 6 in no time. Look very closely at the cards you want to crack.
