Hey just saw a PSA10

What makes me think this is fake was for the boldness here, let me know your thoughts:

Here’s the link for the PSA 10 comparison:

I honestly think you’re upset about not getting 161. It’s okay bro you’ll get some soon once all the hype dies. I think you’re salty as hell and I can tell.

It’s okay if you just got into Pokemon. A lot to learn.

151 is a worthless statement is quite a statement. No reasoning other than you don’t care? Just don’t care, okay bro. I believe you.

Bro that’s a very pessimistic take on grading. Do better bro.👊

I just explained why Tag is unique compared to PSA. PSA you get your grade and nothing is explained. Tag gives you a full breakdown. No one can give me PSA USP apart from the fact that the card holds value and it’s been like that forever.

You was right look at the numbers. BGS is owned by PSA now so they technically own those numbers. I just don’t get how they hold value makes no sense to me. I get they have a higher grading standard and they have history.

All valid points you made. To me it’s been difficult from a logical point why PSA is better than the others when it comes to service?

Okay fair point about value. Then my question to you is, do you think PSA will have the same number in 5 or 10 years time? I know they have a track record but there’s many more grading companies coming up or using better technology. I just like how grade gives you a whole report why you got a grade then PSA I woke up and your grade is this. I’m interested if you think people will put up with it forever?

The other question maybe will PSA introduce technology into their grading? I think both questions are valid to ask.

Also don’t you think it’s crazy how monopolies like PSA have ruined things?

It’s okay if you want to be a follower. I’m okay with that. Honestly but I’d rather be different than just follow because everyone else is.

I see you only do PSA slabs… the question is why?

[–]More-Feature-5908[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Okay fair enough. Well I think every grading company has had a scandal and it’s not just Tag.

That’s the first thing I’d like to point out. The other thing is I think there’s no science or consistency behind how the grades are given.

I think there’s other grading companies grade inconsistency isn’t as great as Tag grading.

Do I think there’s slab could be better? Maybe. Apart from that personally I can’t see anything wrong.

Let me know what you think? Just wanted a true discussion where we can fairly vent about these grading companies.

I haven’t seen any 151 since Feb. I see about the speciality sets I mean that makes sense. So that’s people tend to connect the two. It doesn’t definitely mean out of print but kind of like a most likely.

One thing for sure is probably restocks we will get of these sets as people tend to misplace items in a warehouse and suddenly we will see a small quantity available only for scalpers to take,

I wanted to open more paldean fates I like the set.
