I have 3 games grading now with CGC. Btw Wata belongs to PSA now Appreciated! ...and furthermore have a question.... What does light cleaning remove light debris mean under video games grading? If sending in disc games, does thesis service make since? Do they buff the case? Or is this more a cartridge based service?

A big sticker could hide a tear on tye seal. If you want to learn how to remove stickers theres a great video at youtube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All it takes is a Hulk #1 CGC 8.5 Purple label to then be in a un-restored PSA label to bring it all down. Now again if the rumor mill is true then I already question who they have in place. That name will make CGC less worry some I will put it that way. If the rumor mill is that the person has a bad rep in the hobby, then this service is starting off in a bad way. They should have bought PGX instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mijael.Levy Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 This is the best card grading company in my opinion they are great graders and they have a very nice presentation. Serious collectors still don't understand why the PSA slab sells better. Its called SGC and they are so great that PSA bought them last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aardvark88 Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 Will be hard for PSA to exceed the acceptance in the market of Voldemort (bought by Beckett) grading, as they have about a 10 year head start in the comic/mag pro grading market. sagii 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin76 Posted July 20 Author Share Posted July 20 Anyone else notice the extra space on the corners of the PSA slab? I always thought this was a good idea they did for cards and glad the have it for comics also, CGC doesn't do that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hepcat Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 PSA doesn't penalize cards for toning. Meanwhile whiteness and page quality are paramount considerations for comic collectors. Therefore I'm unlikely to trust PSA's comic grading until and unless they demonstrate otherwise. (That is not to say I have full confidence in CGC's grading.)

Buy a comic on ebay, have it shipped directly to PSA for grading, it gets stored in the vault and reposted on ebay. One never has to touch the comic in the entire cycle.

uncannyjames Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 I posted this fake PSA slab with ugly- label to the forums a while back as a joke. After seeing PSA's press release, I guess the joke is on me? trademarkcomics, ADAMANTIUM and kimik 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadroch Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 In 1906, the Sunshine Bakery was among the largest and best-selling bakeries in the country. They introduced a new three-layer cookie that took America by storm. Two chocolate wafers with a serving of sugar and cream in between. America went crazy over the new cookie with the strange name Hydrox. A few years later, several local bakeries merged to form the National Biscuit Company. As an afterthought, they introduced a discount version of Sunshine's best seller and called it the Oreo. Sunshine was first to market and was a much bigger company, yet today, Oreos are the world's best-selling cookie, and Nabisco is internationally recognized. Sunshine and what are now called droxies are an afterthought. The PGX of the comic world. Stranger things have happened. AJD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
