PSA - New certs Vs Old certs

[Dyl]

Biased toward PSA Certification Numbers

I know I’ll get flak for this but I do think the 0xxx-2xxx are the weakest graded pokemon cards. What I mean by that is that I’ve, anecdotally, come across more cards in the lower certs that I felt were “weak” compared to their assigned grade. Yes it’s biased, no there is no statistical analysis showing a distribution of “weaker” cards in the lower certs, but I always look a little closer to scans of certs below 4xxx. I won’t pay for certs since it all comes down to the card

Why are newer PSA cert #s worth more?

Numbers here based on sales. Only vintage pre 2003 cards are used in the calculation. Conclusion: New cert, on average, does hold more value. Around 2.5%~5%. If you have any other market analysis questions, I’m here to help. [image] [image] [image]

I think you’ll find that most people could care less as long as the card itself meets the condition that the grade suggests.
