Say you bought the card for a price it hasn’t been since probably early 2000s. If ever.

Tell us not to check eBay for reference.

Cool story.

I missed that. Priceless. And of course it’s a post that blames everyone else. Just add them to the troll list.

Glad someone brought this up.

I'll offer $2500.

For every one of the these success stories you have the bad ones of a altered card or lower grade and should have just left alone. It’s very risky crossing a BGS to PSA with PSA being far more strict.

OP has reached out to me and wanted me to forward this message to everyone.. "My mistake coming here for help... I should have just waited to hear back from PSA. Myself and PSA have communicated, and the matter is resolved. Nothing left to see here... move on"

It’s a lot less risky when it never actually happened.

Thank you for the detailed, repeatable, and well-document guide to building wealth.

Cracked a Zion Prizm bass PSA 9, sent to BGS, gold label 10.

It's all a scam.

rms13 · 02-01-2022, 12:52 PM

This is why grading is a scam. One grader’s 8.5 is another’s 10. There is some value in grading and authentication but certainly not the premium that people pay especially for a PSA 10

Randallk34 · 02-01-2022, 01:00 PM

Don't check Ebay but i just bought a bgs 3 Babe Ruth and cracked it and sent it to PSA and got a 10

Sold it this morning for $2.2 million on ebay, but dont check ebay

So this guys made up story is why grading is a scam?

To safely crack out from a BGS holder, gotta have guts. Whatever the time frame, congrats. First time I tried cracking a new PSA case I messed up the card, ugh.

No it’s a scam for the reasons I stated. Several companies with different standards. It is controlled by individual humans with different standards and opinions. Certain companies have a history of grading fake and trimmed cards and authenticating them and giving them better grades based on altered condition. There is human error and greed involved. Many PSA 9 sell for 20-30% of the price of PSA 10 when that PSA 9 might be a 10 on another day/different grader and vice versa.

They're not. There are many 90s refractors with print lines that were graded gem mint by PSA -- BGS gives an 8.5 surface grade for cards with print lines.

PSA and BGS has done me wrong and they have done me right.

People are paying huge premiums for objective opinions given by people who are grading in a subjective manner.

The subjectivity factor based on the grader - good day/bad day - getting a PSA 9 vs. 10 can be hard to accept.

I am sure has been covered before, but to crack out a significant number of PSA 9's (which you originally thought were 10's) and resubmit, what % come back 10's on the second time go-around ? I have just always accepted the 9's are 9's for a reason and my resubmit 10 rate wouldn't be that good.
