With that being said it doesn’t make much sense to have them graded in cases made by sports card graders. Professional “Sports” Authenticators seems very specific to me. It bothers me for several reason. One for the simple fact that its an anime. Second they were mass produced and had uncalled for variants of the same artwork, almost sloppy. Third they were printed in various languages making even more variants of the same artwork, killing the factor of true rarity in my opinion. I see some of you guys obsessing over the 1st edition stamp and a shadow but forget to realize that its the same card. Fourth the cases get scratched depending on how you store them and if you store them properly you cant even look at them. Fifth the dreadful, cheap looking, repetitive, white and red label that they use, sometimes even shortening the card’s name or “Holo”, “Foil” indecisive. And dont even get me started on the grading, for years now making OCD suffering fellows go bald over the grade, taking me to my last but not least reason, buying an already graded Gem Mint 10 is even worse kinda like buying someone elses work and pretending you created it. Never forget, if you didnt pull it, it doesnt mean crap. At least that can be the actual sport of it… > > > [@Tin Foil Hat Time](https://www.elitefourum.com/t/tin-foil-hat-time/16910/14): > > > > It’s possible that some of your suspicions might be factual.

I don’t grade cards but I have common sense. I have cards with obvious flaws it would be insanity if I were to pretend they’re not there when obviously–they’re there! But that’s just me. You can lie to me but do not lie to your self, recognize what is obviously there. > > > > PSA is probably like: > > > > “hey, Jim it’s this card again, I recognize the edges.

A friendly suggestion, please stop trolling psa threads where people who actually use their service are trying to have a discussion and figure out a situation. Yup I changed my mind about grading my cards with PSA pretty quick. What’s your point? None of this proves what I said to be %100 incorrect. --- _[View the full topic](https://www.elitefourum.com/t/psa-vs-bgs-why-is-bgs-getting-a-premium/17988)._
