Nothing is higher than VG-EX. You might think I'm being snarky, but I'm a raw collector, and that's literally the standard I use. Given how ridiculously punitive and arbitrary TPGs are (SGC seems better than PSA from what I've seen online), I won't pay more than a 4 comp, maaaaybe a 5 if it looks absolutely beautiful.

Not snarky at all, just realistic. I do the exact same.
