I don’t mean to recycle tired old topics like how much we all have issues with the major grading companies around their questionable fee models, terrible customer service, and seemingly changing standards over the last several years.
I have a different question - imagine us are now all +10 years from now looking back at the last decade of how the hobby grades its cards… what are the possible outcomes and game changer scenarios that could happen? - DIY authentication and grading services using AI? - Well organized “crowd sourcing” models where collectors police themselves over hundreds of opinions on cards authenticity and/or “score?” - A well funded, new entrant in the grading business who simply takes significant share away from PSA, finding a way to solve collector frustrations with the current options? - vintage collectors migrate back in larger numbers to ungraded card collections - or very little change at all… I know we have lots of business savvy collectors here and I’d love to hear your thoughts - I’m just continually disappointed and/or confused by my own experiences but I know I am still feeding into the problem but simply repeating the process and hoping for a better result. So, when we all look back in 10 years, what do we think will have changed in the card grading business for all of us?
