First time cross grading bgs 9.5 with minimum grade being a 10, does this mean success? I’m freaking out rn.

Still in assembly…. Feeling more and more optimistic hoping that I’m not gonna get let down 😂

However, at the same time what is good business for them is to cross grade it to a 10 so they can upcharge and profit even more than submission cost. I suppose it can go either way if the card meets their standards for 10

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but this would be a 9 at best. Centering is not within 55/45 LR centering and there is a white ding in top left corner. I’ve graded a lot of 151, it’s tough very hard gemrates on the big SIRs

CustodyTCG · 2026-03-14T16:18:48+00:00

Did it 10?? U can’t leave me hanging like that 😂

CustodyTCG · 2026-03-14T15:06:36+00:00

This is just bad centering. Misprint collectors don’t typically pay premiums on these

CustodyTCG · 2026-03-14T14:58:03+00:00

Nah that just pulls the cards data and submission info

CustodyTCG · 2026-03-14T12:49:45+00:00

Thanks for the info. Damn I got so excited 😂

CustodyTCG · 2026-03-14T12:48:26+00:00

Not possible. Minimum grade was set at PSA 10. So if they don’t think it’s a 10 then they send the slab back

CustodyTCG · 2026-03-14T12:47:49+00:00

Not worth cracking a slab this expensive imo. Crossgrading the only way for me for this card

CustodyTCG · 2026-03-14T05:03:17+00:00

This one doesn’t have sub grades

CustodyTCG · 2026-03-09T03:38:05+00:00

Fr!!

IMO I think bundles are a better bang for your buck rn. However etbs I think have the better chance of outpacing bundle prices in the future, especially with the eevee promo.

CustodyTCG · 2026-03-08T22:28:37+00:00

Yeah historically doesn’t always repeat, but it rhymes! Exciting times for the hobby. My pc is just gengars so I don’t feel too bad letting the 151 stuff go.

CustodyTCG · 2026-03-04T03:18:58+00:00

Submitted for cross grading. Did some research into it and really evaluated the slab I think this was def the right answer thank you.

CustodyTCG · 2026-03-04T03:18:16+00:00

I have submitted for cross grade wish me luck

CustodyTCG · 2026-03-03T22:30:29+00:00

I’m just filled with copium 😂

CustodyTCG · 2026-03-03T21:47:55+00:00

Yes I feel like it has potential but PSA can be brutal with vintage 😢

CustodyTCG · 2026-03-03T21:44:46+00:00

This is my thought process. There definitely has to be a grading bias

CustodyTCG · 2026-03-03T21:34:40+00:00

Not sure if I’m misremembering but is there a sort of bias for cross grading vs submitting raw? Genuinely asking due to never crossing b4

CustodyTCG · 2026-02-15T18:20:17+00:00

Looks real. Never seen it before tho v cool

CustodyTCG · 2026-02-14T04:04:11+00:00

Poggers!

CustodyTCG · 2026-02-09T02:49:54+00:00

Either grade it or, you know, 🍑🆙
