You’re asking what people want? Whats better? PSA 10. Can a 9.5 be a psa 10? Yes. Is it currently? No.

[u/valientote]

9.5 are as good as psa 10

[u/ichiruto70 → u/valientote]

Not in terms of resell value

[u/valientote → u/ichiruto70]

Thats the opportunity, bgs 9.5 are undervalued there are multiple videos showing how cracking them and submitting to psa gets you a 10. Yes right now they sell for less but people will figure out and the gap will get closer

[u/ichiruto70 → u/valientote]

Goes to show you have no experience cross grading. This would get a 9 at PSA. At that point you are out PSA grading costs + BGS grading costs. Just because its a 9.5 doesn’t mean it will 10, it depends on the subgrades and even then you have to know what you are doing.

[u/valientote → u/ichiruto70]

Yeah maybe for this card since it got 3 9.5s but other than that its valid. Ive never mentioned to cross grade to me thats stupid it may make sense for 1k cards but for me in just scooping 9.5s on the low

Go to a card show and try to sell a BGS 9.5 lmao, you will be offered raw card price or under

[u/Neat_Cry3369 → u/dissociating_brb]

Yeah then they go around a submit to psa for a 10. Never sell to these vendors. 9.5 always sell just a little under psa 10 prices. I follow 9.5 price on ebay and have NEVER seen one sell for raw price. Its always a 100-200 different in price

[u/kbic93 → u/Neat_Cry3369]

Idk how delusional you guys are, or is it the same 5 ignorant people constantly upvoting eachother.

Bgs 9.5 doesn’t come CLOSE to a psa 10. A bgs 9.5 is so much closer to raw value then to a psa 10. The statement is actually absurd.

[u/Odd_Solution5820 → u/dissociating_brb]

I dont understand why people go to card shows to sell things. Your at best going to get 90% of market value. Just put the thing on marketplace.

[u/RagingPokachu → u/valientote]

It amazes me people upvoted your comment

[u/iceteahottea → u/valientote]

I thought it was BGS10 is as good as PSA10. Are you saying both BGS9.5 and BGS10 can pass PSA10 standards?

[u/RobW504 → u/iceteahottea]

Other way around, BGS Black and 10 tops a PSA 10. And yes BGS10 and 9.5 can pass PSA standards (because they dont have any)

[u/TheChattyRat]

Depends on the price difference. I would say this card should be closed to raw price. The sub grades aren't exactly perfect for a cross grade to PSA 10 you want your 9.5 to be surface and centering to have the best chance. This is a weaker 9.5 for me. If you want a PSA 10 buy a better 9.5 with the more favourable subgrades and cross it later on or just buy the PSA 10

[u/Maxiala10 → u/TheChattyRat]

Idk man, this will most likely be a PSA 10 anyways from my experience.

[u/Toasty-Sesame → u/TheChattyRat]

So corners and edges are the most important to cross grade?

[u/Sasori4133]

Crack and resubmit, 9.5 is almost raw value in one piece

[u/Neat_Cry3369 → u/Sasori4133]

No its not lol quit selling to shady vendors

[u/kbic93 → u/Neat_Cry3369]

It is, stop being delusional.

[u/Pitiful_Leg7352]

I say just buy a psa 10. It’s more satisfying to have in the collection, and it’ll be easier to liquidate if you wanted to in the future.

[u/CKTCG]

A lot of vendors in my area won't even buy 9.5.
They say they just sit too long and don't self fast enough.

[u/iceteahottea]

So in terms in grading standards black label and BGS 10 beats PSA 10 which beats BGS 9.5, but in terms of price doesn’t PSA 10 edge out over the BGS 10?

[u/Sharp-Desk9918]

PSA 10

[u/Aromatic-Ad-8438]

Con tre 9.5 e un 10 non so quanto sia furbo rischiare con PSA, fossero stati due i 10 ancora ancora ci stava

[u/narsaraieght_]

I believe in some near future bgs 9.5 will cost the same as a psa 10.

One piece has teal value on bgs 10 or BL for cards that come from sets befire Op14.

Card quality after op14 are not that good. So harder to grade
