PSA Shutdown Grading Strategy BGS & CGC | PSA Return Pokemon & One Piece

PSA has closed several of its lower-cost grading tiers, so in this video I’m breaking down how I’m adjusting my card grading strategy while those cheaper options are unavailable. This is not just a “PSA is closed, now what?” reaction video. I’m talking through how I decide whether a card should go to PSA, BGS, CGC, or another grading company based on condition, upside, turnaround time, resale potential, and whether the card has a realistic shot at a higher-end grade like a BGS 10, CGC Pristine 10, or PSA 10. I’ll also be showing a PSA return in the background while discussing how I’m thinking about raw cards, low-end grading plays, One Piece cards, Japanese Pokemon cards, Topps Now sports cards, and whether the PSA shutdown changes what I’m buying.

Are you waiting for PSA to reopen, using BGS or CGC, buying raw cards, or avoiding grading for now? #PSAGrading #CardGrading #PokemonCards #OnePieceTCG #SportsCards Timestamps: 0:00 Intro 0:20 My PSA shutdown grading strategy 1:36 Am I still buying cheap cards to grade? 2:48 Will raw card prices go up or down? 3:58 Outro
