What is PSA grading?

PSA grading is a professional service that evaluates the condition and authenticity of trading cards, such as sports cards or collectible cards. The process involves a detailed examination of factors like centering, corners, edges, and surface to assign a numerical grade, typically from 1 to 10. Higher grades generally indicate cards in better condition, which can significantly increase their value. PSA, or Professional Sports Authenticator, is one of the most recognized grading companies in the collectibles industry.
