Ranking grading companies values

03cobrakid · 10-25-2021, 08:04 PM

Hey guys been in and out of hobby last few years. With new influx of grading companies how would you guys rank them in terms of value for modern cards? Id imagine psa and bgs 1 and 1a still but then?
Thanks, Joe

If you mean monetary value, then:

1. PSA
2. BGS
3. SGC

If you mean value in general (as in a "good value") then none of the above.

I’ll give an even more detailed answer, here is how I would rank individual grades from the big 3:

1. BGS 10 Black Label
2. BGS 10 Pristine
3. PSA 10
4. SGC 10
5. BGS 9.5
6. SGC 9.5
7. PSA 9
8. BGS 9
9. SGC 9

So on…

IMO...

1. BGS 10 Black Label
2. BGS 10 Pristine
3. PSA 10
4. BGS 9.5
5. PSA 9
6. SGC 10
7. BGS 9
8. SGC 9.5
9. SGC 9

SGC gold label 10 should be in the 2 or 3 spot.CSG CGC or whatever they are calling themselves today in a 10 has to sell for more than a SGC 9 or BGS 9 no?not a modern guy so not sure.

In nonsports cards like marvel- definitely, I can confirm this. I’d argue CGC 10 possibly better than even BGS 9.5 in that realm. I can’t speak for sports though. I would think a CGC 10 is above 9s from those companies.

1. Best card in any holder at the best price.

Modern cards
1. BGS 10 Black Label
2. BGS 10 Pristine
3. PSA 10
4. BGS 9.5
5. PSA 9

Honestly a lot of ultra modern cards sell ungraded for about the same price as a PSA 9. If value is the name of the game, not grading is not a bad option for a lot of cards.

1. BGS 10 Black Label
2. BGS 10 Pristine
3. PSA 10
4. SGC 10
5. BGS 9.5
6. PSA 9
7. SGC 9.5
8. BGS 9 (with subgrades above 9)
9. SGC 9

Would you rank BGS 9.5 without sub grades above a PSA 9?
