This will be the third psa returns on the channel i believe. i have a mix of epic full art trainer cards, some old school ones. as well as some insane yugioh cards as well!
Never before this boom had I ever witnessed more 10s than 9s. PSA is obviously trying to reestablish themselves after all the scrutiny they'd received. This just didn't happen five years ago. Their standards and inconsistency is glaring
Some one told me it depends how busy they are. Like if they are backed up on orders too much they dont give 10s as much. But it does seem so arbitrary often
Sooo true. Started grading cards back in 2013 and standards seemed much more consistent. Now I see cards with severe whitening edges receive 8s and 9s, while it would have been a 7 at MAX back in the day. Honestly I don't blame people for breaking them out of slabs and resubmitting.
