ROCKET'S ZAPDOS2000 GYM CHALLENGE HOLO RARE#15/132GYM SERIES PROFESSIONAL SPORTS AUTHENTICATOR / (PSA): GRADE 8 CONDITION: MINTRELEASE DATE: OCTOBER 16, 2000 POKEMON TRADING CARD GAME / (PTCG) PROFESSIONAL SPORTS AUTHENTICATOR (PSA)Professional Sports Authenticator was launched in July 1991 by David Hall, owner of the coin grading company Professional Coin Grading Service, to serve collectors as a third-party card grader. When they started, they struggled as a business, due to a low demand of collectors wanting their cards to be graded. A lot of sports card dealers were against the idea of having a third-party grade their cards, and decided against using card grading as a benefit to their business. Eventually, the market quickly shifted towards wanting cards graded, due to a prevalent amount of dishonesty at trade shows. Customers rarely felt comfortable with a purchase, and always felt as though it was a gamble if they were getting a real card, and not a fake. A third-party grading company started to make sense; a party that had no financial influence in telling you the honest grade of a card. Having a card graded gave peace of mind to customers, who can buy a card with confidence knowing it was a legitimate card, instead of believing the dealer's biased opinion on what the grade of the card is.
