*PSA REVEAL!👀 I GRADED 41 CARDS FOR $800💰 - WAS IT WORTH IT?!🤔

I absolutely hate how they don't give you any breakdown on the grade. Makes it seem so random.

Random...rigged...take your pick.

[@WanderingWolf365]

[@joemarsh2050]

When you have to hope your grader is having a good day so he doesn’t destroy your grades is ridiculous!!! Psa has 0 consistently

SGC is way better

[@Razz0oo]

SGC is the only way

[@tomsterpeck]

@@Razz0oo based on getting more 10s. Flawed logic, the market says PSA is valued more

[@Razz0oo]

​@tomsterpeck Digital grading is much better than PSA. Psa workers grade whatever they feel like that day.

[@bicbuilds]

based on my glance and overview (what i could see anyways) most of the 9's and 8's were badly offcenter. cards without the symmetrical borders are harder to view, like this years optic. my suggestion is to look at multiple different tens to get a understanding what they call perfect centering. hope this clears it up, nice cards!

[@Josh-hm4pj]

PSA seems sketch when they do a "special" or large orders or when a certain player is killing it their gem rate drops.I also wonder if they grade certain cards low and anticipate the card getting re-subbed?With no sub grades or an explanation its a guessing game.Either way nice cards Sky,keep up the good work bro!!

[@gitedun4716]

Sorry for those grades bro! Unfortunately, the hobby keeps PSA on top. When I first started looking into grading I read about how PSA was the best. I slowly bought into the hype myself. Before that, I always felt BGS did a good, consistent job. I've tried SGC, CSG, and HGA. My top choice goes to CSG; nice design and crystal clear case, but the hobby don't want to believe that there are better graders than PSA. Also, it seems that the graders are always eating while grading which leads to specs of whatever sitting inside our graded case; and that's across the board with all graders. We can only hope they are not snacking when we send in our 1/1 Justin Herbert RC.

[@Coolectable]

Note how you only got 10’s on the lower value qbs and non-qb cards. It’s a scam. I guarantee the condition of all those cards you submitted is consistent across the board yet only the lower value positions gem’d out. We gotta stop using psa collectively

[@MIF8989]

I know PSA has the "reputation" but you should really try grading with TAG.. Their value is on the rise and I love how they provide you a report of why your card got it's grade. Still don't understand how PSA do not provide any info on the cards flaws. In all, TAG is awesome.

[@skybcards]

It’s sad because I tried to call PSA and get an explanation on one of the cards (Lawrence checker) & they literally ignored every call and email

[@joemarsh2050]

Tag has the best grade report I’ve ever seen. No up charge and the best slabs!!!

[@sirJayGee]

I 💯 agree on the report.

[@stevesax6057]

No ones giving you top dollar on TAG

[@sirJayGee]

What does TAG charge per card?

[@chriscanter3882]

Man, Im sorry bro! I love your channel and have watched and followed your channel from the start. This is exactly why I made my comment a few months back about me not ever using PSA again, and I have been sending all my cards to SGC. Everyone is like yea but SGC doesn't bring as much money as a PSA 10. Well when you consider all your bigger cards are gonna get 7,8, & 9s from PSA possibly worse, Im pretty sure Im still coming out way ahead by using SGC. Id rather sell 9.5 and 10's for a little less in a SGC slab than have PSA send me a bunch of 7,8, & 9's. Iv been there done that and Im done and those cards with 7's and 8's are hard to move for anything let alone any value being recouped. Plus a huge bonus, I have all my cards back in 2 weeks from SGC not 2 months, so iv already sold and subbed at least 4 more submissions before PSA guys get back there 7's and 8's from 1 submission. After sending hundreds of cards to SGC I have never got a grade lower than a 8.5 on anything modern, vintage cards of course but modern has all been 8.5 and higher. Im writing this to just help man because I love the hobby and I enjoy and support your channel, not to troll or try and down you at all. I just know how this feels and nothing is more demoralizing than to spend a big stack of hard earned cash on a submission to open it and have the breath knocked out of you. You pull very nice stuff bro and you deserve to have your cards graded fairly. If you have any questions or I can help in any way just let me know. Keep up the awesome content bro!!!

[@Jardscards]

Grading is so tough! Sorry about the results of this submission bro, you have good things coming your way for providing such great content and entertainment for so meny of us in the hobby! Can’t say it enough but thank you!

[@deanmachine3110]

PSA has been tough on ultra-modern cards. I got a 5 on a Garrett Wilson Prizm throwback RC. I’m keeping it slabbed just to have proof of PSA being inconsistent with their grades.

[@skybcards]

Jeeshhh that’s just terrible man. Did you see anything by wrong with it? A 5 is crazy

[@skybcards]

Yo yooo what’s up my brotha, appreciate that💪💪

[@TheyCallMe_Beau]

That Garrett Wilson is way off center on front and on back. They'll pull it down to an 8 for centering alone if its bad enough.

[@joshawarapin]

That's why I haven't sent in big cards yet. I'm scared. Lol. I'd probably just go with one of the smaller companies because I don't plan on selling them anyways...

[@justin783]

At least your submission went better than mine. I sent in 20 cards for dual grading (auto and card) for 520 dollars of submission fees. I waited 90 days for it, and guess what I got? All 20 cards with auto grades but ZERO card grades (they authenticated it instead). Waited three hours to call PSA and they confirmed it was a mistake, so now I have to send it back to them and restart another lengthy process.

[@skybcards]

Oh jeesh that’s roughhhh brotha. Super sorry that happened to you🙏

[@JohnnyLightningV10]

[@marklangston7011]

I find it really interesting that all the die cuts got tens. U would think that being way more curves and corners would make it a lot more difficult for them all to be perfect.

[@travis9791]

How does everyone like SGC for pc? I have a lot of 90's basketball and new football cards I want to get graded. I like the black look of their slabs and the short turnaround time. I just bought a green Mosaic Breece Hall to see if I like the slabs.

[@RainStryke]

Next time, send that submission in with a pack of Skittles and a nice written note. It might warm em up a bit, so they are not so dang cold on the grades. Also was told to value the cards as if they were a 10 when submitting.

[@robbailey1234]

If to many get graded 10's they start giving out 9's or worse so they do not blow the pop report out of balance. If I send 20 cards of the same thing in they send me back 10-9's and 10-10's and they all look the same in grade before I send them. I have known this since the early 2000's. I sent 3 of the same card this last time and got a 10,9,8 of the same card and all were clean and nothing wrong with anyone of them. I still send in cards to them but usually 1 of each and only 20 cards or so total in each order. Still get screwed over in grades and I take the time to clean each card with a cloth so that they are clean. I think they change out cards to bad cards so the best cards get saved and sent to the big companies or people who expect 10's to sell and we get the shaft! I mean that to the fullest extent when I say that. If they lose the biggest companies sending in large quantities of cards they will be out of business.

I’ve always wished that PSA could make an addition to its grading and website to show you your sub-grades when you scan your QR code and your specific cards info pops up. That shouldn’t be too hard of a change or add significant time to the grading process at all. It’s so sad honestly.

I get sometimes we miss something but those were a lot of misses and I know you check your cards really good.
