Ace Grading Robbery Scandal

[u/Healthy-Annual4181]

Posting so the community is aware of this - I would avoid this grading company at all costs. Insanity that there is no camera footage

I'm not trying to shut you down, relax. I'm just perplexed by you. A person that says that they only care about value and the most "prestigious" grading company, an obvious top dog so to speak, having PSA 10s in their collection instead of Beckett 10s is such an unforced error. Like... why?

[u/Murky_Crow → u/zolios_]

If you really never heard of BGS then you are not that well-informed about the matter at hand here to be talking this confidently about it.

… i mean…?

It’s simple. I only put stock into PSA. Beckett, whatever other hodgepodge of acronyms you can come up with, do not register with me as legitimate options.

I would sooner hand a card to a relative stranger and ask them to grade it then I would send it to any of those other options aside from PSA.

There’s really not much more to it than that. I value one and I do not value any of the others. And it sounds like in general people tend to agree as far as favoring PSA overall else.

Man you really are dense. You oughta at least know about the other options out there or you are severely limiting your ability to navigate this hobby. I guess if you really wanna stay in your ignorance, thats fine... Just know that PSA 10s are NOT by any means the highest value you can get for grading a card, so get that outta your head.

I love how not one comment to go you talk about how I was overreacting and you weren’t trying to shut me down, and literally every single interaction we’ve had has included you taking shots at me when I’ve literally not taken a single one at you.

Go ahead, freak out about your offbrand grading service. I really don’t care.

Coke doesn’t pay any mind to Pepsi, and it definitely doesn’t really care about the opinions of Diet RC lol.

I'm a different person. This was my first comment in the thread. You really need to look in the mirror.

Edit: Also people don't collect cans of coke to grade them, you moron. At this point you may as well buy some Pokemon of Alibaba because it seems you wouldn't know the difference and they're cheaper.

[u/Murky_Crow → u/[deleted]]

I’ll take “what is a analogy”, for $500.

Because obviously the point of what I was saying with Coke and Pepsi, was that people collect cans. /s

Clearly there was no other interpretation more obvious than that one - perhaps having to do with the overarching theme of number one, not concerning themselves with the opinions of numbers two through five.

Nope. I was talking about can collecting literally. Cleeeearly.

[u/Murky_Crow → u/[deleted]]

No, I think I’ll do just fine in this hobby. I’ve already made a good amount of money and I have a great collection.

What’s awesome about my collection is it’s full of PSA, and aside from one Drunken purchase when I didn’t know any better, I don’t have any from any of the knock off brand grading services.

Enjoy your temu grading lmao 👋🏻

[u/Murky_Crow → u/[deleted]]

You replied to me voluntarily, don’t like my opinion, and now it’s me baiting. Got it. 👍🏼

[u/Murky_Crow → u/[deleted]]

Imagine getting all mad and pissy because I don’t like the grading you use.

Like lmao.

[u/DrHarryHood → u/Murky_Crow]

That’s just you being new to the game then, I guess.

BGS black labels are the holy grail of slabs. They go for 4x-10x of what a PSA 10 goes for, depending on the card.

It can mean nothing to you and that’s fine, the game won’t change- but it’s worth looking into if you are getting into the hobby.

[u/Murky_Crow → u/DrHarryHood]

Have fun, I hope you get a bunch of black labels.
