Inside the Grading Room At PSA

[Snowman]

My favorite part of the video was when Nat pulled out a card and said, "This one is a PSA 10, which means it has perfect centering, perfect corners, everything is perfect."

That's not PSA, this is....

If Nat says his card is a 10...it is a 10. David Hall, allegedly, used to put post it notes on the card savers with the grade he was expecting.

Not much different across the street at SGC other than they may not have to use post it notes.

As the youtube video above this...this is nothing but monkey business. Why any of us buy into it is beyond me.

at the mention of an SGC behind the scenes video. CAN ANYONE PROVIDE ME A LINK??? I would greatly appreciate it.

modern cards - so many 9's and 10's. Not a lot of room for differentiation.....I suppose the focus then shifts to the "one of X" principle and the next best measure of greatness then would be in the quantity owned? I'm a 19th century guy.

Sadly it is a Geoff Wilson "production".

What's even funnier is that card was centered to the left slightly. Even a monkey could see that.

He's such an authority!
