PSA, BGS & CGC graded card values compared. Understand how grading affects Pokemon card prices and which grades command the highest premiums.
Professional grading authenticates and evaluates the condition of trading cards on a standardized scale. The three major grading companies for Pokemon cards are PSA (Professional Sports Authenticator), BGS (Beckett Grading Services), and CGC (Certified Guaranty Company).
PSA uses a 1-10 scale where 10 is Gem Mint. BGS also grades 1-10 but offers half-point grades (9.5) and special designations: Gold Label (all sub-grades 9.5+), Pristine (10 overall), and Black Label (all four sub-grades are 10 — the rarest). CGC grades similarly with Pristine 10 and Perfect 10 as top tiers.
Higher grades consistently command higher prices. A PSA 10 can be worth 2-10x more than a PSA 9 for the same card, with the premium increasing for rarer and more valuable cards.
