CGC Grading for Pokemon

Is CGC grading for pokemon cards seen as acceptable?

New to the game trying to figure it out lol

Acceptable, yes. But, rather prefer PSA (even with the wait times).

same prices realized as BGS. PSA is king at the moment.
I use all 3.

How about CGC with no subgrades?

Not even worth it. I'd go with PSA first and foremost. Maybe BGS with subgrades.

Disagree with your statement when it comes to low-end vintage $10-$30 raw cards. I would not have to wait 8 months with PSA when I can send 3-4 orders in that timeframe to CGC.

I’m less familiar with that market of cards but I see PSA slabs garner a premium. I personally only consider PSA or Beckett for mine. To each their own I guess.
