A newby getting back into the game after so many years. Have a question on grading and more so local graders vs PSA and BGS.
I bought a card thats been graded by TCG as a 9. For resell value, is it better to get it regraded by PSA or BGS? Or given we mostly sell to local market it doesnt really matter?
for resell value it's definitely PSA then BGS at the moment.
people also have their own preference and usually go with an AUS company for a small piece of mind when selling as it gives the buyer a pretty good of the card condition unlike if it was not graded and someone asked to return because it was in a worse condition than described etc
21 % fake. And possibly another 5% that they didn't catch but authenticated. It wouldn't shock me if 20% of all graded cards are trimmed, altered, counterfeited. The first two I can live with to some extent but a straight up counterfeit I couldn't.
