  What I love about TAG is the full breakdown, understanding the grade vs PSA there’s no information

  When I seen that pack fresh Arceus get a 6 at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWdz5Ivqtbc&amp;t=505">8:25</a>, I couldn&apos;t help but laugh I&apos;m sorry 😂. PSA is a joke at this point...

  I just started getting into grading my MTG and Pokemon cards and was looking forward to getting them graded through PSA. After your video and several others I won&apos;t be going through them any longer. Thank you for the video!

  I was just about to submit my best cards. I&apos;m sorry they screwed you like that, and im greatful for the knowledge you put out here. I hope PSA gets what they&apos;ve earned so far.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWdz5Ivqtbc&amp;t=254">4:14</a> Don&apos;t worry go buy your cards back and crack them out and grade them higher and resell them for a profit since that seems to be PSA&apos;s new thing

  TAG is accurate with AI grading and I love their process to preserve the originality of the card. Their graders even use gloves when handing the cards unlike most grading places like PSA and CGC. You can’t argue with the AI eye 👁️ 🤔

  This is the perfect example of the issues with the hobby and why PSA is so behind to the point they had to shut down some grading tiers. First time submitters just sending in whatever they can just to qualify for the bulk submission, with no real knowledge on how to pre grade and &quot;pack fresh&quot; should mean a 10. Then getting upset at the results. This goes for whatever company you decide to submit with, learn to pre grade, be harsh on yourself and your cards, don&apos;t send in just whatever, send in actual valuable cards.

  Yeah, I recently got some cards back I sent in (they were mostly my kid&apos;s cards) and I could not figure out the grading as well. Mine was not as bad as yours but it was interesting that the 2 cheapest cards got the 10&apos;s and everything else got 9&apos;s. &nbsp;Mind you that I sent mine though my LCS and they do an inspection / wipe down and will not send out a card that they don&apos;t think has a shot at a 10. Thankfully my kids were still super pumped to have the slabs, so I am happy with that.

  I came across your video randomly today. Coincidentally, just yesterday my cousin and I were talking about GameStop submissions to PSA. I’ve been burned pretty badly, multiple times, across different submissions. So I decided yesterday that I’m done submitting to PSA going forward.<br><br>We both have a strong suspicion that PSA treats GameStop submissions differently, almost like a tiered system. Cards I’ve submitted directly to PSA myself have consistently been handled better than the ones I sent through GameStop. On top of that, one of my GameStop submissions was damaged during the grading process. PSA never mentioned the damage and seemed to be hoping I wouldn’t notice or say anything.<br><br>Because of these experiences, I genuinely believe PSA gives lower grades to cards submitted through GameStop and treats those submissions as second-class
