HGA Grading? Are they as good as the other Guys?

[jameslacarte]

I see more & more of they're Graded cards everyday. Are they the next big thing in Grading cards? Myself, i prefer BGS or KSA or even SGC but im seeing a lot of Big Time collectors switching over to these guys to grade some super sweet High End cards!!!
Would love to hear what you guys think..
Cheers

I am not certain but I think they grade fairly hard, which is good. Plus the 4 sub grades are superior to none like PSA. The modern graphics they use look great also, color matched to the card, if you like that. All depends on taste.
Hard core investors will still lean towards PSA 10s I imagine.

I think it's going to be hard for anyone to come along, offer a service (no matter how good) and those grades be worth as much as PSA or BGS. Those two have been around forever, and are the standard.

I think the HGA ones look nice, and from what I've read - they seem to be really good. Cost is reasonable too.

Will a HGA 10 ever be worth was a PSA 10 is? Probably not.... but who knows?

I had one card graded by MNT earlier this year. I thought they were pretty good to. I've never been much into grading though.... this was a Roy OPC Rookie Card, and I wanted it slabbed / graded to prove authenticity as much as anything else.
