Pokémon Card Grading For Beginners

Welcome back TPC Family! Today I discuss my personal opinion on the top 3 most popular grading services for pokemon cards: PSA, Beckett, and CGC. In this video I go over each of their slabs and their services, giving you my honest review! Please watch the whole video and let me know in the comments which services you would go wit

Which services have/would you use? Let me know! Let's chat!

Psa for flipping, bgs/sgc for display purposes and cgc for instant returns if you just can't wait. This is what I use these grading companies for.

I agree with you. I went with cgc with my first graded submission and made out like a bandit.

I just want to keep my cards safe so cgc does that at a good price. It's like paying 15 bucks for insurance on each card. I also do video games so I know cgc will be used by me soon for that too so keeping uniform is cool

I really like CGC and their grades make sense compared to PSA. I've seen some really weird centering examples get PSA 10s or Gem Mint 10 with Ace Grading (which I'm not sure of their reputation generally). I showed the PSA 10 stuff on a different channel of mine which was more for my Pokemon collecting but been out of the game since mid 2021. Got a lot of cards ready to go in semi rigids but not got round to it. I was collecting a lot of Japanese ex era as I could source good quality cards from Japan but may pick up some English ones too

try ACE grading their ace label slabs are the best looking

Also you stated that PSA requires a membership that only applies for the value tier for that deal. I have no membership and send my cards as economy.

im CGC pilled, PSA is expensive, with cases+lables that are ugly and can damage cards
extra bonus is that CGC graded cards are cheaper to pick up too

What is the best company to grade my cards since im from europe? Thanks

I have some evolving skies alt arts i want to send in for grading. I am leaning towards cgc as the waiting time and price is to large with psa. But i am still unsure. Whats peoples opinion?

[Pokifizz]

I think the cgc label is far to big. Everything else i like :)

You calling a CGC pristine 10 a perfect 10. Lol, if it’s a perfect 10 then you’ll get all the sub grades 10 on the slab also. Just saying.
