TPG Grading Process/Rules/Guidelines for graders

On the PSA web site it states they use 7x-10x power magnification, they state don't over do it.

7-10 should be just fine. I like the cheap 40X because the lens size is large compared to most inexpensive 10X. Around an inch instead of a half inch.

The SGC guy I talked to had a very nice lighted 10X with maybe a 3" lens. I found them online, and considered buying one, but I'm just too cheap.

There is or at least once was a former SGC grader on the board. There are probably others. Maybe someone will chime in, maybe they won't.

Without any inside info, I would bet there are things they do that would be reassuring, and plenty that would really keep you concerned. There’s a reason they keep the wizard of Oz behind a curtain...

Recently(in last month) a member poster that they are a PSA grader. Can't remember in what thread though.
