Emmitt Smith Dallas Cowboys Rookie NFL PRO SET PGI Gem Mint 10 Pristine Grading International Affordable Rookie Card! Established at the National Sports Collectors Convention in 2002, Pristine Grading International (PGI) has been serving the collecting community for over twenty years. With some of the best returns on investment for dealers in online listings and in retail stores, PGI has carved a significant niche in the grading industry. How? A standard of excellence and pragmatism that creates an opportunity to once again grade cards that do not fall into the elite, premium category. The majority of popular trading cards are not economically viable to grade at the major grading houses. With grading fees ever rising for these graders, normally only Gem 9.5?s and 10?s create a positive valuation for modern card resale. As such, even the most popular rookie cards from Topps, Panini, Leaf, Upper Deck, SAGE and Sports Illustrated for Kids and more are often sold ungraded in the secondary market. PGI recognized a need for leadership in the lower-priced card market, providing an economic model that allowed for these cards to once again be graded and resold. Factor in PGI?s expertise in certain niches often underserved by major graders such as magazine cards and foreign printed issues and a popular brand has endured.
