I'm fine with them grading the cards like this if there hadn't already been copies graded with a different standard in the past. If all of the cards from the set were graded like this from the beginning, then the PSA 6 would most likely fetch near the value of the current 9s because 8s, 9s and 10s probably wouldn't exist for the set. The fact that there are 9s in the same condition as 6s is a problem.

@@crimsonglory3706 If you submit absolutley perfect new cards with old cards, those old cards are more likely to be graded more harshly as the same PSA 10 is being immediately applied.

PSA is just begging for a young competitor to come and take over. The service is horrible, I would never use them if I didn't know the incredible value that a psa holder can bring. They should have to justify the decisions that they make. If they give it a 9, there should have to be a write up of what it is that had removed a point... The lack of accountability is absolutrly baffling

My new thing when I buy PSA cards now is that for anything lower than a 10, I require the cert # of the card to at least start with "4" before I even consider buying it. The grade is likely more accurate than if it were graded in the past, and the price discrepancy between an older 9 and a newer 9 is also likely to be evident when you go to search for a particular card. That's just how it is now, unfortunately.

This is pretty difficult for PSA. They have graded those cards with “lips” at the top already and did not consider it damage. However, if they see that lip on any newer card it would be considered damage. It is understandable that all of those cards have a lip because of how they were packaged, but does this mean that PSA has to differentiate how every single set was distributed, packaged, etc? That is a lot of additional info for LOTS of different sets and cards. I think they are more likely to grade all cards as equals (like we see here) and consider that a lip on one card means damage, no matter where it came from. It is unfortunate that they are changing the way they grade on certain cards because it messes up the grading history. It is like changing rules in sports. If the NBA cuts down the regular season to 50 games, the total points scored for a career stat is completely skewed. If PSA changes how they grade to control the pop, or how they grade lips on these cards, old PSA 9s become circumspect.
@Bananasforthesoul

Exactly, PSA should almost make an entirely new pop report for these cards if they are going to change the standards as such. if this card is *literally* printed that way and it is 100% impossible to get it without it, then a card with the lip and no additional wear should be considered a 10 as previous. I do personally think they should grade with how the card is, as smpratte said, instead of having a flat standard to all forms of cards.

Nicholas Stormbreath that would be pretty cool of that did that. I feel like it is not currently worth it for them because they are overrun with orders, even if they don’t do a top notch job. It is similar to how Pokemon will not do something for collectors. They are making so much money already, why would they put more effort into a small segment of their market, especially when that segment is still going to use their service anyway?

Makes me wonder that there’s gonna be more cards that were graded 10s but not true 10s.

This inconsistency of past grading and new grading with the *same* cards is really frightening to me on what the value will turn into for them. Will the market see the PSA 9-10 copies of the same condition cards as hyper valued since they can't get this grade anymore from the standard *just because of the grade* or will they be valued the same if condition is evidently the same.

I dont even find that they are more strict. My grades no longer make sense. Cards that have small flaws come back with 10s in the same sub where cards that should’ve been 9s and 10s get random grades like a 6. It makes absolutely no sense. Ive only ever sent one card in with a dent that i knew was there. The likelihood of missing 2 cards with dents or creases in my last sub of 7 cards is highly unlikely. After they were returned to me, I thoroughly inspected the two cards that received 6’s and they had no flaws that should have justified that. I sent them back to the vice president to see, along with an insurance claim since I could not locate damage myself but PSA claimed they were only in EX-Mint condition. I am still pending the results of that 27 business days later

Does PSA still treat silvering on base set, fossil/jungle holos the same as they used to? A huge proportion of those holos came out of packs with terrible silvering and early cert PSA 10s are common to see with silvering borders. I wonder if newer certs get graded more harshly than they used to?
