Really blows my mind how you don't have more subscribers man, you're definitely a channel that's waiting to pop off. You have some of THE most educational & insightful videos in the world of TCG, so-much-so that I've been learning a lot from your content alone lately. Keep up the great content man, you're a passionate & well-informed enthusiast/collector & it shows.
@@jerryaksonelam I am new to the Hobby, so all I can say is from an outsiders perspective the Label looks clearer. CGC still grades in .5 increments though right? I've 8.5's and 9.5's and it seems like it's difficult to get 10's and prestine 10's. It's hard to say but it looks like to me CGC is going to be where new investors are go.
It can only be a good thing for the collecting world that there are multiple top-level grading companies competing against each other, otherwise standards will drop, however despite this, ultimately PSA will continue to be the forefront of collectors minds when they choose the destination of their cards because of the status that comes with that brand. Hopefully over time that will change.
Literally none of that matters when PSA resale value is much higher than any other company so everyone simply goes PSA... The users are to blame for the shit quality not the companies because the users are the ones who make that dynamic...
Since watching your videos, I’ve been really thinking of getting some of my own cards graded. PSA would still be my #1 choice because of value and whatnot, but what makes me hesitant is the label. It looks so messy and unappealing. It took me awhile to actually understand how it’s written. It really needs an update, IMO. I never heard of CGC till just now and dang! The case and label look so good! I’d like to display my top few favorite cards outside from a binder and their casing is perfect for it. If CGC’s value was on par with PSA, I would instantly go with them. Such a tough choice. But still, awesome video as usual. Love that intro/outro music too.
I am really having trouble digging CGC slabs, they do feel nice but their label isn’t aesthetically pleasing to me for some reason. PSA and BGS are the top two companies, but I do want to look for another alternative for the personal collection and just focus on selling PSA/BGS. Great insight though, thank you for making this video.
Perfect timing! I've been considering getting my first card graded, just for show I think I'll go with CGC. Ultimate Sacred Phoenix of Nepthys would look gorgeous in that slab :D
I have a stack of GX era ulti’s and GFP2 Ghost rares I’ve been sitting on for almost a year now. I keep bouncing back and forth between PSA and CGC. To be clear, I *want* to send them to CGC, but what’s keeping me from doing so is liquidity. If I ever need to get out of these cards, I know the market is fully liquid for PSA graded cards. To what you said at 14:15, I think if the community starts grading more and more yugioh with CGC, we can slowly build that secondary market up for all the resale. I absolutely love how my CGC graded cards display, you’re 100% correct about that acrylic they use
BGS slab is my fav. PSA grading standard is probably my fav because the low grades are way better usually in my experience. CGC has a nice slab when looking at the card itself, but the label I find clashes with too many cards for sure.
Thank you StrictlySealed! This video is educational. I’ve been wanting to grade my cards. I’m taking my lessons from this Legend! Thank you once again!
from what I know you can choose the design of the label in cgc. Especially with pokemon cards, you can select a color and design that matches the pokemon itself.
There's a new Grading Company based in Japan called ARS worth looking into they got the most premium looking slab I've seen, they use an aluminum plate for their labels. The only thing is that the label is on the bottom of the slab which takes time to get use to and they are Japan only for now.
I agree about the CGC blue label. I was unaware the others graded fakes, part of the appeal of graded cards is I thought they authenticate the card. I would like to hear your comments about SGC. I like SGC cases but will need to a get CGC to compare.
CGC doesn't grade fakes per say but they do grade unauthorized cards. I definitely think CGC is a step above BGS when it comes to strictness of grading that's for sure, it would be PSA>CGC>BGS. BGS will actually grade anything lol not exaggerating. Thanks for viewing the videos.
I love this video. Very informative and just the right length of video to give me all of the info I needed. I am going with the display factor because these will stay in my personal collection so I believe I'm going with CGC
Awesome video! I recognized your name from an LODT pack listing I’m watching on eBay. You’re very well-spoken and it’s evident that you put quite a bit of thought into this video. Subbed!
Like Omar commented on the video to me psa is a great company but if i slab a card i want to protect it and show it off psa and cgc slabs seem to bland for me and for the times. With BGS you have a clear cut slab with gold or metal show off finish. I do agree there submissions definitely need improvement but in terms of protection, overall feel and look BGS runs it out of the park for me. One thing you forgot thou are pristine 10's and SGC tuxedo service would love your input on those in the yugioh space.
I’ve never used SGC TBH but maybe I might do a video on my thoughts on new grading companies in general and include SGC (I know it’s not new but whatever lol) Thanks for viewing the videos.
10:56 BGS is not like this. I submitted a CR toon black luster soldier in 2022 completely online. The slab came back cracked around the grade they gave me, I emailed them, and they recased it for free within a week.
Thanks! That was very thought provoking and interesting. I've only bought graded cards that were PSA or CGC. But I don't think I will buy from Beckett even though the most expensive pokemon cards are graded by them, I agree they need to improve on alot of things.
I have a ghost rare 1st ed Odin and i'm pretty sure it'd grade at a 10, 9 at worst, but i'm too scared to submit it to PSA because of what you mentioned with the cases and potentially damaging it.
I agree with your takes on PSA/BGS ux. I really like the idea of CGC with their high quality slabs and subgrades, but I just can't stand their labels. I don't like the colors and layout of the text, plus the grade being on the left just throws me off. I'm personally intrigued with AI grading and am trying it on some lower end stuff with a newer company to see how it goes. Nice video Omar!
@@StrictlySealed I agree with your statement and statements made in the video. PSA cases just feel to cheap and the cards slide a bit too much for my liking. Give CGC more time and it will win more people over. The pokemon community is still 50/50 on CGC from what I can tell lol.
PSA presents better to me but i can see the appeal of CGC. It would be cool if they could include an elemental colored label or pokemon type colour for the label would look wild. Seen a small company called paradise do that and it looks mint.
Submitting anything to psa is a Nightmare to me ☠️☠️☠️ would like to see a step-by-step of submitting cards to each company except Beckett You already said their website is horrible
I personally enjoy grading with CGC for the reasons you mentioned that makes CGC a good candidate, but as far as a myself being a newcomer to grading cards, something that I had noticed when looking at PSA is that there was the language of having a "weak 10" or a "strong 10" that's something that I don't like. Ideally if I have a "10" in my collection I want it to be considered a perfect card, not a near perfect card because at that point the meaning of a 10 loses value. This is why I like CGC and BGS, but as far as BGS I really don't like the look of the case because no matter the label the aesthetic looks antiquated. CGC is the happy middle ground for me.
I prefer Beckett because Beckett slabs are far better quality than CGC and PSA and when it comes to card grading slabs quality is one of the most important things and the problem with PSA is that their slabs are cheaply made and I can’t handle cheaply made slabs.
I got a Beckett 10 and it literally had dust/dirt all over the inside. I contacted them to get a new slab. Was told I’d have to pay a fee to recase, shipping cost, and insurance for graded card. And was never given a guarantee that the new slab would be dirt free. How are you going to give a card a 10 and put it in a case with dirt inside? I will never get a Beckett card or send a card to Beckett ever. Not to mention the awful ripples on the penny sleeves for Beckett’s!
I met a collector in a card shop that said the same things about those cases. He compared each and took them out from his display. He did mention that CGC does have premium anti UV protection in there cases and that is why you see it being different and better quality than the others. I also have some acrylic cases that have UV protection and they have similar texture in the acrylic. What do you think about PSA buying WATA games?Does that make PSA a bigger company since they grade games too now?
I love cgc.. I have graded over 200 cards and non came back with any sort of smear/finger print/dust etc inside the case. I have some card graded from psa and it came back dirty to the point that I have to regrade the card
But right now, I’m on the hunt for getting a favorite card of mine a BGS black label. I feel. Like that is just such a good feeling. But with the prices right now, if I don’t think it’s going to be a black label, I will not send it.
as someone who is into comics. Not gonna lie, CGC looks really really nice, but their competition, CBCS is good also. However, the one things that CGC has is their premium price with buying their stuff. Similar to how PSA is currently
You should have a watch out on PCG - Premier Card Grading from New Zealand. They also have locations in Australia and the US. They are popular in Flesh and Blood and even have a lot of people grading Magic and Pokemon even if they are quite young. They have an official partnership with Flesh and Blood, grading their prize cards. And they have something in the works, to providing custom slabs for Yugioh cards :)
They should come together CGC brings the Acrylic cases BGS brings their fancy gold labels and PSA handles customer support the website and smacks the other two when they try grading garbage. and they need to have specialists. The guy the does Pokémon cards Knows everything about Pokémon cards. The MTG guy Specializes in MTG cards. the sports with their own people baseball basketball football etc. Your not going to have the guy that does sports and is clueless to MTG cards grade a mtg card.
I love CGC slabs with subgrades. Most accurate grading and better detail. I think psa is kinda too generous giving a higher grade. I own some psa 10 and i feel it should of been a 9... but i think its cool if u want a easy 10 for cheaper. Cgc 10 with perfect subgrades worth alot. Ace grading is a new one with accurate grading like CGC, but there are no subgrades.
As collector, i prefer cgc, even new label looks great, psa look so bad, i never bought any of them.. also not sent for grading. Bg is nice too, case maybe little too old looking and cant see that well thru.. Grading times too long, but grading is well done.
hello striclysealed, Since the day I saw your collection videos. I kinda want to have my own collection too. Though I cannot afford the higher end stuff. I'm going to start with cards that really screams nostalgia for me which is yugi's monsters. So I'm planning to buy the memories of the duel king 15th anniversary set korean version. It's cheap and has card sleeves in it, so I'm starting with those.
Cgc case looks the best and I agree the becket gold/black label is the best. How psa is the top tier with the flimsy crappy case and labels with half spelt names is beyond me. Cgc could take a huge leap and take over both companies because of how they are a trusted name in grading comics and the slab looks and fells really good.
I would disagree with CGC grading everything. They found 2 cards I submitted (I didn't know they were fake) They returned both cards and only charged me $5 a card. Just my experience.
Grading shouldn't even exist. Encasing should be as far as it goes. We all have eyes...I can be smart enough on my own to discern a perfect card from a shit card...and therefore pay accordingly. C'mon y'all...WE GOT THIS!! #changethegame
Bgs all the way. The slabs r clear enough and provide the best protection. They feel amazing in hand and fetch the higher premium for their 10s both gold and black label.
Ok Question : The Modern Products nowadays always come with flaws sadly , you are lucky if you pull a Mint card at this point . My question is … if the card has this Manufactured scruff in the back is it still considered NM ?
To add to this comment, I do think psa is the best balance overall, they hold a good value for their high graded slabs. I think bgs has the best looking labels but the sleeves holding a card could be better. If they used a perfect fit one that would have been perfect. I do want to try some new company’s out. I have a mgc slab and it looks like psa slab tbh. The next one I want to try is tree grading slab, they’re from the uk but the label is so cute lol. I know from a collectors stand point of view that it looks foolish but take a look at it! There’s 2 10 versions. Prestine 10 and perfect 10. The perfect 10 gets a pink touch to it which I think is awesome
None really. Since alot of cards shop will only pay what tcg pay for the cards not the slab. I hate that. But I do have psa 10 yata, bls and ,chaos emperor. That the last time I'll get my card graded
PSA to grade and sell, since they have reputation.
CGC to grade and keep, if you love to collect.
BGS to grade very high costly pristine cards.
Really blows my mind how you don't have more subscribers man, you're definitely a channel that's waiting to pop off. You have some of THE most educational & insightful videos in the world of TCG, so-much-so that I've been learning a lot from your content alone lately. Keep up the great content man, you're a passionate & well-informed enthusiast/collector & it shows.
Appreciate the kind words man. Thanks for viewing the videos :)
Love CGC the most, just wish the label could be a little more neutral in color, a becket style silver label would make them perfect
I agree!
Wish came true 👍
@@snocookies no more Subgrades tho 👎🏾
@@jerryaksonelam I am new to the Hobby, so all I can say is from an outsiders perspective the Label looks clearer. CGC still grades in .5 increments though right? I've 8.5's and 9.5's and it seems like it's difficult to get 10's and prestine 10's.
It's hard to say but it looks like to me CGC is going to be where new investors are go.
PSA all the way. Would love for the labels to updated like CGC
As a comic collector I think CGC has some really great potential, they are pretty good with grading comics and I love the acrilic they use!
Got a gem mint 10 in the mail from PSA and could see one of the corner edge digging into the card. Got a nice white spot on the card now...
It can only be a good thing for the collecting world that there are multiple top-level grading companies competing against each other, otherwise standards will drop, however despite this, ultimately PSA will continue to be the forefront of collectors minds when they choose the destination of their cards because of the status that comes with that brand. Hopefully over time that will change.
The prices/time PSA charge are the main reason I hope they get humbled by another company (CGC ftw)
Literally none of that matters when PSA resale value is much higher than any other company so everyone simply goes PSA... The users are to blame for the shit quality not the companies because the users are the ones who make that dynamic...

You already got me by NOT Criticizing the grade, excellent vid man, you gained a follower in me

cgc is honestly extremely undervalued in yugioh. their grading is the harshest between those three companies
CGC is no more harsh if you follow how much more perfect 10s they have given out in Pokemon recently compared to they used to, like 50 times more…
Not anymore, they sold out and spam 9.5/10s now
Cgc grades super hard. I have a Japanese holo pichu from neo genesis it's an 8.5 chc easily a 9 or 10 at PSA
Thank you StrictlySealed! This video is educational. I’ve been wanting to grade my cards. I’m taking my lessons from this Legend! Thank you once again!
TY! Very informative review of the top 3 brands (from what I know).
Hey man. I'm not that into TCGs anymore, but watch Sam every now and then and discovered you there. Awesome channel! Been binging your vids.
CGC is the way to go. Blows my mind people hold PSA in such high regard when so many cases of 10's are visibly not. Quality over Quantity
New to getting graded cards and your vid did what 10 other sites could not do. Thanks for the insight!
CGC is the best looking/feel out of all the company's. Yugioh looks so freaking good in CGC cases!! Great video as always!!
I've just got the first Pristine 10 starlight Dragoon in the world with CGC. I would never trade it over a PSA 10.
from what I know you can choose the design of the label in cgc. Especially with pokemon cards, you can select a color and design that matches the pokemon itself.
Wow CGC getting the big up one this video! Incredible! I need to grade with them!
There's a new Grading Company based in Japan called ARS worth looking into they got the most premium looking slab I've seen, they use an aluminum plate for their labels. The only thing is that the label is on the bottom of the slab which takes time to get use to and they are Japan only for now.
13:40 what a flex....LOL
geezus, those are some valuable cards
I agree about the CGC blue label. I was unaware the others graded fakes, part of the appeal of graded cards is I thought they authenticate the card.

I personally think CGC is the king, but they need to change the label a bit. Make it color matched or something of the sort.
Very interesting to see you compare and talk about these cases. I wish PSA would start to offer their services in Europe as well.
I love this video. Very informative and just the right length of video to give me all of the info I needed. I am going with the display factor because these will stay in my personal collection so I believe I'm going with CGC
What you said in the beginning of your video is incorrect. CGC has not been around longer than psa
Excellent video! I was in a group chat and we were having a big debate on what's the best 👌
Awesome video! I recognized your name from an LODT pack listing I’m watching on eBay. You’re very well-spoken and it’s evident that you put quite a bit of thought into this video. Subbed!
YOU ATCUALLY DID IT!! I DIDNT THINK YOU WOULD BREAK A CASE
The other thing with CGC is they need to center the grades better in the grade box.
Great content as always! The CGC cases definitely look amazing and I will consider using them for more of my lower rarity cards in the future.
If BGS was better with the clarity of there case it would be my favorite. Especially when it comes to Ghost Rares BGS really falls flat.
Like Omar commented on the video to me psa is a great company but if i slab a card i want to protect it and show it off psa and cgc slabs seem to bland for me and for the times. With BGS you have a clear cut slab with gold or metal show off finish.

They dont just grade any card they get. They would not grade a counterfeit card a 10 and send it back. That would be business suicide…
10:56 BGS is not like this. I submitted a CR toon black luster soldier in 2022 completely online. The slab came back cracked around the grade they gave me, I emailed them, and they recased it for free within a week.

Why do people be taking pliers to psa slabs, when they that easy to open?

I personally like cgc for personal collection but anything I plan to sells goes to psa for the easier grade
That's exactly what I think will play out in the market as time goes on. Thanks for viewing the video.
@@StrictlySealed I agree with your statement and statements made in the video. PSA cases just feel to cheap and the cards slide a bit too much for my liking. Give CGC more time and it will win more people over. The pokemon community is still 50/50 on CGC from what I can tell lol.
Bgs any day by far
Always fire content bro. You should work for psa or something. Make your own grading 😆.
I have a guardian chimera in a psa case that fits a little loose in the case. If you play close attention it goes up and down if you turn it
I love the intro music. Makes me vibe lol. My wife says it's sex music and I replied , it's about yugioh, it's better than sex
PSA presents better to me but i can see the appeal of CGC. It would be cool if they could include an elemental colored label or pokemon type colour for the label would look wild. Seen a small company called paradise do that and it looks mint.

Thank god we have more than 10 grading companies in Europe so I can choose wich one looks good.
I prefer Beckett because Beckett slabs are far better quality than CGC and PSA and when it comes to card grading slabs quality is one of the most important things and the problem with PSA is that their slabs are cheaply made and I can’t handle cheaply made slabs.
How do you decide which cards to send to which graders? Love the content! 😊

In which language is the Starter Deck Kaiba 1st Edition the rarest?
You should have a watch out on PCG - Premier Card Grading from New Zealand. They also have locations in Australia and the US. They are popular in Flesh and Blood and even have a lot of people grading Magic and Pokemon even if they are quite young. They have an official partnership with Flesh and Blood, grading their prize cards. And they have something in the works, to providing custom slabs for Yugioh cards :)
They should come together
CGC brings the Acrylic cases
BGS brings their fancy gold labels
and PSA handles customer support the website and smacks the other two when they try grading garbage.
and they need to have specialists.
The guy the does Pokémon cards Knows everything about Pokémon cards. The MTG guy Specializes in MTG cards. the sports with their own people baseball basketball football etc.
Your not going to have the guy that does sports and is clueless to MTG cards grade a mtg card.
PSA has to be the best if u ask me
CGC is the best one!
Thiccr is always better! I love the bgs label, but I'd never use them after hearing your review.
I just wish the CGC labels didnt have a blue gradient, reminds me of the 90s lol
Yup! Their design is so out of touch…
No love for SGC?

Cgc case looks the best and I agree the becket gold/black label is the best. How psa is the top tier with the flimsy crappy case and labels with half spelt names is beyond me. Cgc could take a huge leap and take over both companies because of how they are a trusted name in grading comics and the slab looks and fells really good.
Thank you for your informative videos. My locals had AGS recently swing by a couple times. Do you have any information about them?
You didn't talk about CGC customer experience :/
My guess without watching the video: Psa is far from the best, based on the many clear mistakes I saw with other youtubers
ali baba case had me rollling bro xD
Displayability's cool, but not why I get my cards graded 🚫
I would disagree with CGC grading everything. They found 2 cards I submitted (I didn't know they were fake) They returned both cards and only charged me $5 a card. Just my experience.

Ok Question :
The Modern Products nowadays always come with flaws sadly , you are lucky if you pull a Mint card at this point .
My question is … if the card has this Manufactured scruff in the back is it still considered NM ?
Yes it is. Lots of pack fresh cards have that stuff on the back from the factory and as long as its not super bad the card can still be NM. Certainly!
What about SGC and DSG? I like them because they are cheaper than CGC, PSA and Beckett
Bro Imagine if you did your own card grading system
I live in New Zealand who would you recommend grading with if thats a variable factor
CGC it is
Why PSA delisted the Silver stamps? 😅
Just to add, I knew the Silver stamps are a Print error from the Special editions but is it considered as a Misprint? 😁
dude got the guinness world record for most psa slabs cracked
😆 🤣 😂
are there any companies that actually grade honestly and dont artificially knock down scores? because thats what matters
Yea I agree, the bgs submission format looks horrible. They need to update
To add to this comment, I do think psa is the best balance overall, they hold a good value for their high graded slabs. I think bgs has the best looking labels but the sleeves holding a card could be better. If they used a perfect fit one that would have been perfect. I do want to try some new company’s out. I have a mgc slab and it looks like psa slab tbh. The next one I want to try is tree grading slab, they’re from the uk but the label is so cute lol. I know from a collectors stand point of view that it looks foolish but take a look at it! There’s 2 10 versions. Prestine 10 and perfect 10. The perfect 10 gets a pink touch to it which I think is awesome
Love the content!
None really. Since alot of cards shop will only pay what tcg pay for the cards not the slab. I hate that. But I do have psa 10 yata, bls and ,chaos emperor. That the last time I'll get my card graded
What are your thoughts on Diamond Service Grading? I like the customized labels.
I like the cgc case but I haven’t held a Yugioh cgc graded card.
You should, it’s game changer. Thanks for viewing the videos.
What’s your thoughts on AGS?
AGS the future
I like PSA but i might send a couple cards to CGC
These new grading companies are going nowhere. Between PSA and CGC they own every type of grading from cards to money
Ayyy 💯🔥🔥💪 very knowledgeable
What do you think about DSG?
