Is PSA Grading Sports Cards Tougher in 2021? Watch Before You Ship Off Your Next Submission
Well, it finally happened the other day. I got some of my submitted cards back from PSA, and I have to say I was a bit shocked. By a significant amount, I had been graded more PSA 9s than 10s. Now I'm not saying I'm the master of grading cards, but from my overall track record, this was certainly surprising for a modern card submission such as a Lebron James 2018 Panini Revolution. So this really begs the question. With all the recent PSA events in the 1st half of this year including the purchase of Genamint, has PSA cracked down on its grading standards? In other words, are they even harsher graders than they were in the past? To find out I dug a bit deeper and after talking with some reliable people in the hobby, it looks like this could really be a possibility. To see what I mean, stick through today's video. I talk about some important PSA acquisitions recently, and also some numbers from my PSA submission group gemmint.com that are just too hard to argue with. Find out about it all on today's Powers Sports Memorabilia Show!
