Now do Warhammer Black Library books!! 📚 💸

Fading as they sit on walls of people’s mancaves and losing value every day.

Agree 100% on UF4

UF 4 in 9.8 will not go as low as $300.

Looking forward to submitting to PSA

PSA will be the new PGX. So it wont matter

I wonder if PSA will charge based on the value of the book, or a flat rate.

Great show, another thing that psa does is on sight grading at shows, you get your submission the same day

Cgc has nothing to worry about imo, I trust them a heck of alot more than Psa in regards to comic book grading. If Psa can be somewhat inconsistent with cards (that they are the leaders in) Then how inconsistent will they be with comics, grading cards and comics are two very different things. Unless they just get by because of their name which wouldn't surprise me too much either.

They should have started grading toys, not comics.

You can't honestly say PSA is going to have a good case. Theyre cases are trash compared to CGC. The CGC case is thicker plastic and more clear. PSA couldn't even update their old case without having manufacturing issues.

Bye bye cgc. It's psa and sgc world

The idea that anyone, regardless of namesake, is going to come & take away a significant market share of what CGC has built over almost 25 yrs is laughable. Collectors value CGC…unless you can change that for them to value PSA more, it’s a moot point. PSA may very well damage or even destroy CBCS because that share is so small & the PSA ban holds more weight, but CGC is secure. They are still & will remain for the foreseeable future, the Gold standard.

The psa holder label is horrible looking. Need to be different than their card holders

I didn't know CBCS was such a non player until this PSA information came out. Nobody trash talked CBCS's quality besides the label (which they fixed) and the resale value which is speculative. Someone explain to me why CBCS is so terrible

Give me a break haha. PSA isn't going to challenge CGC.

It’s all going to come down to the secondary market and resale value. The ancillary grading companies will be toast but I think cgc will be fine. There’s easily millions of graded cgc books, nobody is going to send their cgc graded books to psa unless the secondary market demands it.

Main thing is competition. It's a wait and see.

CGC also works with ebay for authentication on Magic the Gathering and Pokemon cards.

This means nothing for actual collectors.. means more to youtube channels to make content

Alf probably wants a cat.

Grading/authenticating a comic is a lot more difficult than a trading card. What makes psa think they have the graders to do the job? Whats their stance on pressing? Will they send comics back with a new for comics "mini-size" sticker and refuse to grade? This is another money grab joke. Maybe they should become self proclaimed experts in coins, action figures and naked grandma photos.

Sure there's a lot of ungraded books, but dealers want the graded price for the raw stuff

the PSA + eBay connection will be a game changer

CGC already has a registry

PSA should introduce their own grading system by eliminating the 9.2, 9.4, and 9.6 grades and sticking to .5 intervals. This would clarify that a .5 grade indicates too few defects for a lower grade but too many for the next higher one. By doing so, I believe it would be rare for someone to risk cracking open a PSA 9.5 in hopes of achieving a CGC 9.6 or higher.

Will they authenticate signed books by Stan Lee etc.

Will the books psa grade be same as cgc

I wish SGC would make the move.

Great video and good to see more competition in the comic book grading space. On your first point cgc has a very extensive registry system. I’ve been using it over 10+ years.

CGC also has a set registry

Wonder how much PSA pa I d for this public service announcement

people are yearning for a cgc competitor

As an investor, the 4 points you raise are insignificant to me. Until PSA graded comics sell for more than CGC (comparatively), I will never buy a PSA graded comic. Value will drive business. Thus, unless this happens, no way that PSA eats anyone’s lunch. It’s my same position on CBCS too. Also, the PSA label is ugly.

I’m going to wait now to grade my comics!

CGC has great customer service. PSA meh.

Great thoughts on this my man! The concern for CGC is real indeed.

Competition is good. It forces the competition to up their game and that benefits the consumers. If they mess around and make their comic cases with UV protect, they will take even more market share!

is that image at the 1:46 mark the actual label? Its terribly ugly

I don’t think CGC grades with population control in mind. I think PSA does so their comic/mag grading may not be totally truthful.

Finally, I have a PSA membership so I will give them a try with my Modern Books. Can we all say PSA 10 of Ultimate Spiderman...hahahahah $$$$.

and just like that, CBCS is 3rd place. Should have gone with the Beckett name.

Hopefully their census will let everyone know how many newsstand or mark jewelers for each issue, unlike CGC. If PSA were more generous with the 10.0's especially with modern books, then the market will favor them. Also would really love it if their books didn't move around inside the case, like my comics do in their CGC cases.

Don't forget to subscribe if you like what you hear!

You really aren’t in sync with the comic market, no offense.

Comics are not rare. Mint comics are rare.

Sticky tried to sell his comics inside a comic book store which is a huge no no, got kicked out and bitched about being kicked out lol. He is desperate for views and likes and will say anything to get more attention.

Thanks for sharing this, truly excellent content!

Great video, appreciate you sharing it!

Can't wait to start my collection
