The Giant Professional Grading Thread

Seems to happen to alot of people here in the same spot but doubt psa cares to take it seriously.

Im very scared for my current sub thats bwwn stuck in asembly for 2 weeks so far :upside_down_face:

This is crazy no way I’m submitting atm thankful my last sub came back ok

Yeah I’m not one to complain, but this is ridiculous. Seems to be happening far too frequently and PSA has to be aware of it by now.

Ya’ll are freaking me out. I sent 40 cards a couple days ago to PSA. I really hope they have this fixed by now. :frowning:

Moved to Repository

Can someone please help me understand what that means with Beckett grading?

Sent in some card, that was recived 1. june, so would like to have an ide of when they might come back.

60+ days seems way off

i think that status means they’ve been graded and will soon be encapsulated

Anyone considering grading with SGC? $9, any value, 5-10 day turnaround for TCG.

Grading your illustrator for $9 is appealing! Haha but in all seriousness, no. I like sgc a lot for my vintage baseball but on Pokemon the values and liquidity are really bad. They don’t grade tcg all that much so I would say their grading is a bit lax as well

Agreed with @pokecollectoramy. I would never grade with SGC. They just don’t know how to grade Pokemon quite yet and their slabs do not hold value compared to PSA and CGC.

Sgc actually has potential for non sports, they just don’t go after the market as aggressively as other companies. They have been around a very long time, and do pretty well in sport cards.

I find SGC very lax, even at the discount they sell I do not find them very attractive. Potential yes but I am not sure which market niche they would fill in Pokemon

I’ve got one SGC pokemon slab and it’s the stamp collection pikachu card. I gotta say, it looks really good in an SGC slab. I’ll edit my post with a photo when I get home in a few days

Edit: added photo

Not sure if this was posted already, but I didn’t see it anywhere else yet. I found this video through watching Opossum Bud’s very recent upload. This person cut their own cards and submitted to CGC as errors just to see what would happen and they came back graded. I don’t personally have an interest in collecting errors outside of the Base and Jungle errors, but this is a bit ridiculous to see.

Video should be timestamped to where he shows the slabs.

Big yikes. CGC has no business grading errors that they cannot scientifically confirm.

Also, I bet this video is going to lead to others cutting cards and sending them to CGC. :face_exhaling:

Definitely no bueno. How can you verify any miscuts in general?

I think modern errors and error collectors have gotten out of hand tbh

That’s not good. So anyone can alter a card and send it in and cgc will grade it as an error and then it can be sold at a premium? Oof

This is the risk you run when you grade hand cut cards. Sheet cut cards are part of the problem.
