And this was the thing that cinched it for me. I got way more excited about the @cgccards pristine label than I probably should have.

And added the @gradedguard to it added another level to me organizing by color coordinating . A purple might look good on it but I think I like the black for the black label like that. That also makes it easy for me to see how many of those I have at a glance.

Maybe if I was collecting a rainbow of a card I will switch them out to match the parallel

With all of the drama with PSA lately, combined with the fact that I’ve always hated their labels I’ve decided to give other graders a shot. Tag cases look super cool, but currently don’t grade before 89? So u decided to give @cgccards a look because I do like those labels . And when I got my first one in , I was so much happier with it in my hand than I was ever with PSA slabs .

Then I decided to try out these @gradedguard protectors for them instead of the sleeves I normally put them in. And man , that brought me joy.
