Back in the early to mid 90s I scoffed at the grading and graders. The first 3rd party grading service I came across was PSA and some CT dealer had mid 80s football graded. I didn’t like the holders or the old label and I said to myself this is stupid, I know my card conditions Pat, know what to stay away from, and know the price guides in and out. Flash forward to early 2000s-present, yeah their a blessing for authenticity reasons. I kind of agree they run the high value market $$ but steer it straight imo. There’s still an awful lot of “raw” talent out there, 90% of my stuff is raw, either way I don’t mind. My favorite grader is SGC, keeping an eye on CSG to see what happens in the future.
