Honestly, it boils down to what you're looking for. PSA is generally preferred if you're eyeing long-term investment, thanks to its widespread acceptance and typically higher resale value. But, if you're all about the details and want an in-depth analysis of your card's condition, Beckett's your guy with its subgrades on centering, corners, edges, and surface.

PSA, no contest. It's like the gold standard for Pokemon cards. More collectors trust PSA grades, so if you wanna sell later, PSA-graded cards often fetch a better price.

I personally prefer Beckett because of the subgrades. They really break down the quality for you. But, end of the day, it's about what the buyer trusts more, and lots seem to lean towards PSA.

Gotta say, I'm a Beckett fan through and through. Their grading scale, especially with those subgrades, gives you a crystal-clear picture of what your card's all about. Plus, a high BGS score could bump up the value more than you'd expect!
