The PSA system in Quasar Trading Cards allows players to evaluate and enhance the value of their cards by assigning a permanent quality rating. This feature mimics real-world card grading systems, adding depth, strategy, and competitiveness to the gameplay.
What is a PSA System?
A PSA (Professional Sports Authenticator) system is used to grade the condition and value of collectible cards. In Quasar Trading Cards, this system includes:
Quality Rating
A score from 1 to 10, where 10 represents perfect condition.
One-Time Use
Cards can only be rated once, making the decision strategic and impactful.
Permanent Rating
Once rated, the score is attached permanently to the card.
How to Use the PSA System
Item Requirement
Use the item tradingcard_psa, which is consumed upon use.
The item applies a quality rating to a single card.
Process

Use the tradingcard_psa item to evaluate the card.
The card receives a permanent quality rating, which cannot be changed or re-rated.
