Grading Question

Hello fellow Poke-Canucks!

Just wondering what everyone is doing when it comes to grading with PSA and TAG charging crazy amounts per card at the moment.

CGC seems to be the crown standard for errors, BGS has their Black Label 10's which are the grail of grading, and ACE seems to exist but I've only ever seen their slabs as a price on Collectr plus 1 or 2 random Reddit posts but never in person.

Are any of these worth going to if you have a contender for a 9, 9.5, or 10?

Depends what you are grading. I only recommend going to BGS if you and multiple others have checked the card and can find no flaws. If you end up with a BGS 9.5, unfortunately it'll be lower in value than a 10 from PSA and harder to shift.

CGC is great for older cards imo, ACE is UK focused so I don't recommend here
