#1 - Frankly some of the big boys in this industry are just too big, and they don't do a great job. When you are too big with too many orders, things get rushed and more often than not, mistakes that should have been caught slide though the system. Overall, hurting the community and devaluing what a 9 or 10 grade should be in the secondary market, especially with modern cards.
#2 - Blockchain means protection
Our system was built from the beginning to help prevent theft and forgeries. This is why we have used blockchain technology from day 1. Our goal is to bring better overall value to the trading card communities while helping to crack down on fakes and thefts overtime.
#3 - The other guys make it seem like they have lower price points than they really do! They charge membership fees up front before you can even grade anything, for some reason people don't realize this adds to the cost of every submission. They also charge more for subgrades! We have been told by many customers that our Zone Grading System is sub-grading on steroids (and we included this on every order) - The other guys can also charge you more if they decide your card is worth more than what you stated on the order! - You don't have to worry about any of that with our services. One flat rate for grading your cards regardless of value!
#4 - $ is lost in the turn around time. In both sports and TCG's, modern cards can hold a peak value for as little as a few days, and in a lot of cases up to a few weeks if you are lucky. Only so many cards hold and increase in value year after year.
By the time you get your "bulk submissions" back 60 days later from the "other guys", you have a good shot of missing that peak pricing boat.
Heck, if a key player was injured during that time frame, or a card is no longer playable in that window - there is a good shot you lose $ on those cards all together. - This is why we don't believe in grading just to flip cards. - We don't believe this was ever the point. It is definitely the way things are in the current market place, but we don't believe this was the original intention in grading cards. Grading should be about preserving and protecting moments in your collecting journey. If grading adds value, fantastic! But it shouldn't be the primary reason anyone should be slabbing their collection.
