If they’ve just used a bunch of images of PSA and BGS graded cards, then congrats, they’ve just built a system that - at its best - can only equal the performance of PSA/BGS.

I think that’s their goal, to use the PSA or BGS standard but to just be consistent with it and take market share that way. That’s a big complaint a lot of people have with BGS and PSA is that there isn’t consistency with what’s mint vs gem mint, etc. Being a “tough grade” doesn’t mean anything. A lot of people consider SGC the toughest grade, what has that done for resale value? Resale value is the point at the end of the day. Like 90% of people grade with the primary goal being to increase value of cards, not PC slabs. I personally think they probably should have done 3 different 10 grades (gem mint, pristine, flawless) instead of the BGS route 9.5 gem mint with 2 10’s and think it will be a huge mistake at the end of the day. As of now they’re doing great, though, and I’m looking forward to getting my cards back from them.
