Default Is grading getting to expensive?

Posted By: martindl


Decisions, decisions.

I've got about 50 T3's that I've wanted to get slabbed. PSA were $25 per coming out of the gate but I thought their initial grading standards for this issue were too stringent. I opted to wait to see if they changed their standards and they did - they also upped their pricing to $50 per. Cards that were initially getting 3's are now getting 5-6's. Most of mine are 5's, 6's and a couple of 7's. From a resale perspective its still very much worth my while to pay $50, especially if I can get a bulk deal.

Now with SGC grading T3's, I want to take the same wait-and-see approach, though with their history re. vintage its doubtful that we'll see the same type of jump in grade that happened with PSA.

I think i'll wait a little longer and hope the price doesn't jump again.
