>>55433776it's not a strawman
you have a point to an extent
PSA service eliminates faggy/shitty pictures online when people are reselling
it eliminates their retarded opinions on the condition of the card
> It's mint lolno it isn't
if it's been in a binder it is no longer gem mint
realistically even PSA themselves cannot tell the difference most of the time between a nine and a 10 ranking
if it becomes subjective there's no reason to spend multiple hundreds of dollars more for a magic number
just my two cents though
also PSA does do authentication services
you can order a yellow slab no grade it just says authentic
