    This is a clear example of the wide variance in grading that can happen from the so called "reputable" graders. I think level of service paid does influence the grade sometimes.

      You get more experienced graders at higher tiers vs lower tiers are prob almost all the newer hires. Maybe (just random thought) not wanting to grade to easy/correct and give higher grades and ends up making them grade harsher idk

      I agree with both comments. I think they all supply decent service, however I believe the level of grading tier you pay for may influence the grade. I have heard about higher quality graders at higher tiers so I think if that's the case, it's worth the cost to me to get more thorough grading. Thanks for the comments! 😀

    Beckett in general is a bit harsher however they 100% do not have bias when it comes to expensive cards/charizards. They grade the card and that's that the value tier doesn't matter

  • @evan51298
    @evan51298 Před rokem +1

    The point of card grading service is that you get an "unbiased" third-party to authenticate a card. It is just silly that it takes a long process and large sums of money to get a card reviewer to give the "correct" grade. This video is very informative.

      Beckett does not require a member ship psa is 100 dollars to be able to send bulk submissions then cgc has 3 tiers the highest one being 300 dollars and you get 150 credit and 10% off the grading rates

      I don't hold any membership. Just sent them in via the normal online submission. So, basic membership I believe for cgc. Whatever the lowest tier is for peasants like me lol 😆

    From my experience in owning cards from these guys. Bgs seems the strictest and cgc close to next. Psa seems to be less strict and easier for getting a 10. Bgs I’ve seen has more value when you have 9s and 9.5s. Especially 10s
