Hey! So this was something that I’ve had on my mind because it made me consider all grading services and what I thought I knew before, so here’s the question.
If I believed I had the most perfect card there is, where would be the best place to get that graded? I saw that smpratte had got this SGC 10 Charizard, and that was in phenomenal condition. There’s also Beckett with the whole “black label” thing going on, but they’ve been questionable at times.
PSA is nice, but when you get 10, that’s the end of the line, no special things in addition to that.
So say that I want to maximize the amount of… I guess profit I’d say? Like, the best and most official way that shows the greatness that is this “perfect card”.
I understand that grades are opinions from others and opinions can vary on the person, and how they’re feeling, so I guess the idea is who would be the best for this type of situation?
PSA is by far the best for Pokémon. Problem is, I’m boycotting them because of their AWFUL management.
SGC is a solid option just not known enough in the non sports card community.
BGS is slow and inconsistent but not horrible.
CGC IS horrible and not an option…yet.
What is horrible about CGC other than your individual preference about their label design? And as of right now their cards don’t earn the PSA premium? As a company, what should they be doing better?

That’s just how I’d do it, I have other 18 holos already as PSA 10 so last remaining want has to look the same. Doesn’t mean I don’t like BGS Neo Genesis cards, the pristine 10 1st ed. Feraligatr 5/111 is super sweet addition to collection.
A BGS Black Label would be ideal - the issue is determining a card as perfect enough for that is incredibly difficult. I’ve only sent cards I thought were 9.5 or higher and the closest I came was one sub off of a black label.
