I have my first Pokemon focused card show this weekend and today I got 6 cards back from PSA...5 10's and 1 9. Then I went on Whatnot doing wild card box breaks and got a Riley Leonard auto, a Cam Skattebo 1/1 auto and a Jeremiah Love 1/1 auto! I'm pumped!

I recently got back into vintage Pokemon. Expensive hobby.

Didn't learn my lesson from my last PSA entry. Sent a bunch of my Jordans and a couple Kobe rookies for grading. Most came back in the 6 or 7 range, had three 8s, and one 5...shrug. Idk what the hell these people are looking at when they grade. I looked at every square cm of those cards. Figured at worst, I had some 7s, but assumed most would be 8s or 9s. Thankfully these aren't for flipping and will just sit in my personal collection. Cards that I kept from when I was kid and will eventually give to my son. But still....very annoying. I was that anal 10 year old who never took cards out of cases. Idk how they got such bad grades.

Yeah, I don't get it either. Sometimes i think it depends on how their day is going. I got some grades back yesterday that were all over the place. And vintage cards, no matter sports or non-sports, seem to immediately lost a point or two just because they are old. Not because there is anything wrong with them. Pisses me off, too.

Ugh. Yeah, if it wasn't for the fact that PSA still holds the primary spot in the grading industry for resale, I would've switched to BGS or something else a long time ago. However, I'm also that weird OCD person who doesn't want a bunch of variants in my slabs. My slab case is entirely PSA. Adding other company slabs to my collection would trigger my OCD and bug the hell out of me that they don't all match.

At this point, I've basically given up on the hobby. It's not fun for me. And my fear level has skyrocketed with all the reports of counterfeit slabs or people stealing shipments that are addressed to/from PSA. Not to mention Colorado's links.

PSA buying Beckett recently killed any hope I had for a fair grade service
