| If PSA takes this serious (and there's no reason to think they won't) then I'm all for legitimate and well intentioned competition. Let's see what they bring to the table. | ||

| Im all for competition as well. The one image of PSA’s slab I found, leaves a lot to be desired from a visual standpoint. |

| Who do they have for graders and finalizers? What comic book industry experience do they have? Enquiring minds want to know! |

They are taking their ugly card labels and putting them in comic slabs: And everyone used to complain about CBCS labels.  |

| One thing is for sure. That label will definitely keep the focus on the book inside the slab. | ||

| I'm sure it's only a placeholder for something less awful. I do hope this motivates CBCS to get off their asses and introduce memberships and reasonable shipping charges again. |

@flanders I don't think it's a place holder. This is direct from PSA:   Photos came from a Bleeding Cool article. |

| PSA is legit in cards for sure....hopefully they will be in comics too but those labels are not pretty.....the cases seem ok just based on the pics above. | ||

| @Belarak looks like the ambulance of comic grading. Do they really need PSA PSA PSA and a PSA sticker on the back? I'm surprised they don't have ASP written on the front in case you need to see them coming in the rearview mirror. Edit: I missed the PSA in the QR code, that's 5 PSA's! Also, what's up with the Hulk #181 Newsstand? As far as I know this doesn't exist. A half assed job all around from PSA is not a good look for the future. |

| @ComicNinja0215 PSA has been around a very long time. Like CGC they were bought out and the new company is expanding their business model. They are probably the gold standard in Pokemon cards. I have a bunch of sports and non-sports cards that I always use Beckett for grading. Their labels look better and they offer sub-grades, they grade the corners, the surface, the centering and the edges. It's to show how they arrived at their grade. Kind of a graders note. @flanders They don't want you to confuse them with anyone else. 🤣 It looks like the area around the book itself is frosted. I wonder if that has anything to do with their "Superior" tamper-resistant cases? |
