HGA

Been reading and watching up on this new grading company who uses new technology to grade cards. Including fresher and contemporary color labels and rounded out slabs...anyone use them yet and what are your thoughts? Vs PSA/ BGS?
Thanks Josh

I like the looks of them but am waiting to see how the hobby reacts to them.

This.

But it sure would be nice to have another option with some decent turnaround times though!

Yeah I hear ya...PSA just boosted prices cause the market is getting out of control with the stock marketers ruining the hobby with over inflation! Been viewing videos on Youtube and seems as HGA is tough on grading, making the card earn a 9.5-10 which is a good thing. PSA just gives them out like hotcakes especially to those repeating customers with bulk orders all the time, cause they know they'll make money off of them on consistent basis (Favoritism)...
Thanks Josh

I'm more inclined to use CSG since they have a reputation of grading. They're new to sports cards but I think they're the way to go if you're not using the 2 major companies.

I don't grade cards, mostly because I can't afford it. But I do like the looks of the color coordinated labels.
