Sheeple gonna sheep.
I also remember the time when BGS far outsold PSA. Then the set registry and the "measuring" contest took over and PSA got the slight to moderate increase.
Now it's just a following herd mentality. The difference in price is ridiculous. For all the my 9.5 didn't cross, you get the 8.5 that went to a 10. So it's all subjective. All of these new people are just being told what to buy.
I own Both. I actually have more PSA cards, but if it came down to it I like the BGS case with the subgrades better. There's another thing, people wondering why they got a certain grade, WELL what do you know BGS actually breaks it down for you so you can at least have an idea what they saw. whether you agree with it or not.
If I was BGS I'd jump on the social media pumper culture and pay some people like Gary V and others to flash a bunch of BGS cases and how cool they are with subgrades. I'd bet my collection, the disparity would even out in pretty quick fashion as the sheeple flock to BGS.
