Has anyone else heard this? In the interview with ex PSA employee he said they’ll have “GameStop days” where all cards picked are from GS orders. Have you heard about better turnaround times with GS?

With all the chatter about grading lately, this video from Market Movers couldn’t have popped up at a better time.

It’s a great reminder of just how subjective grading really is — one person’s opinion can completely change the perceived value of a card, all because of the label at the top.

At the end of the day, collect what you love and not what someone else’s number says it’s worth.

What about you — have you ever cracked a slab or crossed a card over and gotten a totally different grade?

I have enjoyed reading the recent commentary around PSA upcharges. Interestingly enough, I received my first PSA upcharge notification today. While I do not like paying more for a service based on the estimated value of my card, I'll take the result and enjoy it.

We all know that graded booklets aren't the prettiest thing psa/bgs do, but we also realize that people want to know the real condition and authenticity when spending big dollars... What are your thoughts?

Game Use / On Card # 10/10

I have seen some interesting posts this week about PSA undergraded cards. If possible it seems like the screws have been tightened even further?

This article has a fun gallery of 4-grade Jackies that illustrate the trends from old to new labels in terms of grading criteria. Pictures obviously don't tell the whole story but it is clear that grades have gotten tougher over time.
