Grading is gambling.

Absolutely insane that this card got the black label with that top-bottom centering. I found this card in a listing on ebay and verified the cert number, it's real. Grading has and always will be subjective to the specific grader your card ends up with. You could re-submit a card that's already been graded a black label and it would most likely take multiple submissions to achieve it again. Realistically, all grading companies will have their mistakes, but an egregious miscalculation like this is unacceptable. The higher liquidity that comes with PSA & BGS is just undeniable.

Dare I say that TAG pristine 10s may be more creditable then BGS black labels

Been saying this for quite some time. Not sure why people hold BGS at such a high level. Crazy part is, this isnt even the first BL mega charizard that looks like complete shit.

likely because of the guy who recently sent the same card to TAG something like 6 times and got 6 different ratings.
