    I have only graded with one card company and it was PSA. I have seen so many videos of psa and cgc making errors and mistakes. Beckett seems to have the best reputation but if your card is not perfect in the 4 categories, you won’t get the 10. It’s all craziness. Great content as always.

    honestly, this kinda should be a bash on PSA. This just shows that PSA is all about quantity over quality. It happens far too often for a multi million dollar company that is supposed to be top tier in the grading world. SMH PSA SMDH

    It could also be a miscommunication on PSA’s end. The grading could’ve been that low because the card was altered and they just didn’t say anything? I don’t know I’ve always been a PSA guy, but that’s still pretty wild that this is being brought to light.

      False, PSA rejects cards for being altered as well. This is just another one of the many reason PSA will always just be a roll of the dice.

    This is crazy. Sure, as a consumer I agree to be extra careful and look at the card when purchasing graded cards but that's the reason for paying for that service, no? . It's a certification, they are experts, they should be held responsible otherwise it's jibberish. If PSA isn't willing to improve their standards, customers should by not using their service

    I will say towards the end of your video you mention PSA grading more leniently; I’d have to disagree with that as of late. I sent in cards in December and the grades were abysmally low for truly pristine cards.
    Good content as per usual.
