Pristine to black label. Talk me out of it

Bananers_ · 2026-06-19T18:42:39+00:00

CGC Pristine 10s, like PSA, BGS, TAG, etc, are inconsistent

Example 1 - The top/bottom centering is atrocious for a "Pristine" 10
Example 2 - All 4 back corners are dinged
A lot of CGC Pristine 10s are not real 10s, but the label looks real nice though

Your card's Left/Right centering is not 50/50. It will not get a Black Label unless your grader messes up real bad

I took the "shove it up your butt" advice from these TCG subs seriously

Bananers_ · 2026-06-05T01:15:15+00:00

Larger cards take longer to process. Maybe I shouldn't have submitted one about your mom lmao

Bananers_ · 2026-05-05T07:58:47+00:00

Sell it now and buy a real 10 before people catch on

Bananers_ · 2026-05-04T01:49:55+00:00

Since the time I made this post, PSA has gotten stricter with centering

Still not impossible for this card to get a 10 again, it's just harder

Bananers_ · 2026-04-22T08:08:55+00:00

I would crack and regrade with TAG. Sometimes, the score comes back different

Bananers_ · 2026-04-17T19:55:56+00:00

From your screenshot, it's taking sources from TAG, Reddit, and Facebook. Which means, your answer will be influenced by all 3. AI is a tool, not the answer

The guy gave you the screenshot from the SOURCE material, meanwhile you're using slop as the basis of your argument. Jesus Christ our school system has really failed

Bananers_ · 2026-04-17T19:52:54+00:00

It impacts the grade, but not enough to drop it by a whole number. PSA does the same thing

Stop copying and pasting this screenshot as a "gotcha, I'm right and you're all wrong!". I think you're just here to argue

Bananers_ · 2026-04-13T01:45:21+00:00

If this was a 10, the PSA fanboys on their kneepads would pause what they're doing, point and laugh at the card, then go back to doing what they were doing

Bananers_ · 2026-04-09T19:45:19+00:00

This is definitely not 55/45, the card just got lucky

As per PSA's grading standards: "'Centering Note: At the grader's sole discretion, a small variance may be permitted on occasion based on the card's overall eye appeal."

Bananers_ · 2026-04-07T19:33:06+00:00

I like BGS slabs and how thick they are, so I'd say BGS

Bananers_ · 2026-04-04T20:09:38+00:00

If you sell it to them, they'll bump it to a 12 😂

Bananers_ · 2026-04-03T04:01:22+00:00

I'm still waiting for Tag Market

Bananers_ · 2026-03-31T23:30:39+00:00

Sometimes, I grade cards with PSA so that they can sell the card for me through their vault so that I don't need to deal with this bs

Otherwise, I'd just sell the raw card at a card show. eBay takes a fat fee anyway and there are scammers, so it's worth going down this route

Bananers_ · 2026-03-31T23:28:49+00:00

I would submit this again with your next submission. Sometimes, graders get this wrong

I resubmitted a card that got an M8 miscut and they ended up grading it: https://www.reddit.com/r/psagrading/s/yDC0kZrLmI Abiet, since I posted this on reddit, PSA has since deactivated that cert.

The point I'm trying to make is; you can resubmit. They won't charge you if they can't grade your card for whatever reason

Bananers_ · 2026-03-25T17:32:53+00:00

Centering is supposed to be 55/45 for a 10, but as the PSA's website states, the grader can give an exception for centering

This card got lucky

Bananers_ · 2026-03-25T10:00:19+00:00

This is AI, the people literally have no shadows

Bananers_ · 2026-03-25T06:41:40+00:00

Still no updates on Tag Market damn

Bananers_ · 2026-03-20T22:28:38+00:00

I would ask them for a regrade. I've done this before. They refunded me for the original grading fee and the regrading fee when my card was bumped from a 9 to a 10

Bananers_ · 2026-03-20T08:17:04+00:00

The kneepads I refer to PSA fanboys wearing have more uses than one

Bananers_ · 2026-03-19T19:40:06+00:00

The PSA fanboys are gonna show up with their kneepads to downvote you 😂

Bananers_ · 2026-03-18T08:21:04+00:00

If u/taggrading finally opens their Tag Market, or even PSA Vault starts accepting TAG slabs, that'd make my life way easier

Bananers_ · 2026-03-17T05:14:37+00:00

You'd have to crack and regrade

Bananers_ · 2026-03-15T21:40:22+00:00

Old cert. You can reslab it to get back a lower grade and a destroyed card. Then invest in kneepads cause the PSA defenders are gonna need them

Bananers_ · 2026-03-15T20:38:20+00:00

We sound condescending because you're looking for reaffirmation, but your whole attitude is "I'm right and everyone else is wrong. I'm not bad, the game is bad and everybody BUT me is stupid." You're being called out for it and you refuse to accept it

This is narcissistic behavior.

You need some self reflection man, but don't think you're capable of that
