PSA vs Beckett

General
1

Is there a difference? Not only for sending in my cards but also for buying?

2

For Pokemon I’d stick with PSA…

3

Is there a reason why?

Check out smpratte’s video he posted last year addressing this very subject:

I think it boils down to the fact that PSA has far more experience grading Pokemon. Is Beckett bad? I would say ‘no.’ Getting a high value card graded by either of these 2 companies will fetch far more than the ungraded and you can be sure that either is almost guaranteed to be the real deal.

But look on ebay. How many Beckett cards are there compared to PSA for Pokemon? I would guess it’s at least 50 to 1. Go with what the market demands. When I’m looking for cards for my collection, I don’t even consider the Beckett cards because all my other stuff is PSA and I don’t want to mix and match. Probably not the only one like this.

Thanks a lot! I’ll check it out. I noticed that I couldn’t find a single Beckett card for the ones I wanted as well.

Why not both?
