Tracked Delivery
I also run the shop Joneipokemoncards where we sell raw cards from most TCGs. The graded cards listed here are from my personal collection.
To help buyers compare the grading standards of different grading companies, I have prepared the table below based mainly on centring standards. No one can guarantee cross grades, but the following table can be assessed against published grading standards on all of the companies websites:

• Rank 1 - Beckett Black Label
• Rank 2 - Becket Pristine 10, Tag 1000 (best TAG 10)
• Rank 3 - PSA 10, Beckett 9.5, TAG 950-990 (TAG 10)
• Rank 4 - PSA 9, Beckett 9, TAG 9, ACE 10
• Rank 5 - PSA 8, Beckett 8, TAG 8, ACE 9

As noted, this just meant to help, many collectors will argue a different position based on sales volumes and perceived value.
