PSA 10 Query

I recall reading that whenever a grader assigns a psa 10 grade to a card, that card is passed onto a second grader to also confirm that the card deserves a 10.

Can someone confirm this is true or likely? i’m not sure whether i’m just remembering things or what i read was legitimate.

Secondly, does anyone know how many staff grade pokemon cards down at PSA?

summoning @garyis2000 a.k.a Mr PSA :wink:

The process that many people have said before is;

  1. Grader A grades the card, enters the grade into the internal system.

  2. Grader B grades the card, enters their grade into internal system.

  3. If both grades match, card goes off for encapsulation. If grades do not match, grader C steps in and assigns final grade.

No grader has access to what any other grader has given the grade.
