I need to finish watching the video. The PSA upcharge & high grading fees remind me of car, home, & life insurance where it seldom pays off but when it does, it’s nice to have. Insurers still taken more than they pay
out 🤷.
For me the PSA guarantee does explain their extremely strict consistent grading since Turner & Hoge took over (last couple years). I haven’t heard of too many payouts, but they did in this specific case with Al (major player in the soccer card hobby). Really interesting video

Feel free to skip to 17:21 where Hoge justifies upcharges to cover the cost of the "guarantee"...hmm. |
