PSA OR IS IT??

TPG companies are here to stay. If we were having this discussion in the past, you saying "it's a 9" may have some validity, but if you are looking to have this card graded by a TPG, then the grade that you give it has absolutely ZERO validity. I'm not saying that don't have a 9 (although there are many factors than may be keeping your card from achieving that grade such as gloss, scratches, etc., which would be pretty hard to see in a comparison to an auction scan), but if you're not willing to accept the grades given by TPG's, than don't have your cards graded. It's just getting so old hearing the "my card is "this grade" but it came back "this grade." Pretty simple solution imo, collect raw.
