HGA Grading System

HGA (Hybrid Grading Approach) issues color-coded labels and sub-grades. Tiny market share — discourage submission unless customer specifically wants HGA label aesthetic.

HGA distinctives

Color-coded label by card type (red sports, blue Pokemon, etc.)
4 sub-grades + overall (similar to BGS)
Smaller pop = small auction value
~2-week TAT, competitive fees

Why we usually decline HGA

Resale value: HGA 10 sells at ~0.3-0.5× PSA 10
Limited auction house support — most don't promote HGA titles
Customer often unaware of liquidity penalty
Slab integrity historically variable

When HGA is correct

Only when: (a) customer collects HGA labels specifically; (b) submission is for personal collection not resale; (c) card has thin PSA pop AND customer wants any slab.

Where this fits in the X3 empire

Defensive skill — recognize HGA in comps but warn before recommending submission.

# after Install: the listing is in your workspace's routing pool - a plan picks it for its slot curl -s -X POST https://api.opensmartroute.ai/api/v1/route -H 'Authorization: Bearer $OSR_API_KEY' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"text": "...", "plan": true}'

Install hga-grading-system and it becomes one more candidate the router can pick - when it fits.

A listing is a routing target with a manifest: what it does, which domains it covers, what it costs and who publishes it. Once installed it sits beside your own models and tools, is scored like any other candidate for each request, and shows up in the trace when it wins. Ratings come from workspaces that installed it, one per account.
