PSA Grading value still strong

With the psa price increase where else can I get cards graded for good value is my question. So I looked at 3 cards and the highest recent sale on ebay (excluded ones with accepted offers as wouldnt know the final sale value).
Wayne Gretzky #18 Rookie Card:
PSA 6 = $2,822 and PSA 5 = $2,499 PSA 4 = $2,231
Beckett 6.5 = $1,600
SGC 6 = $2,250 and SGC 5 = $1,284
CGC 6 = $2,185.00
Aaron Judge #169 Topps Chrome base card:
PSA 10 = $455
PSA 9 = $174.99
Beckett 10 = $305
SGC 10 = $245
CGC 10 = $249.99
Tag pristine 10 - mostly pokemon 704 sales but I found this one 2016 Upper Deck - Zach Wereniski #224 young guns rookie
Tag 10 = $146.88
PSA 10 = $301.09
PSA 9 = $73.99
CGC 10 = $119.00
So if the card is a 10 PSA is still strong for the price. But do they grade harder then everyone. I'm somewhat suprised with the last one as the Tag grade 10 price better then CGC. Adding to all the confusion the CGC is Gem Mint 10 and Tag is Pristine so maybe thats why - companies having Pristine and Gem Mint doesnt help. Will look at a few more Tag cards.
Anyone like Tag or CGC for grading.

Tag slab is very nice, but I still would go with SGC over them. Avoid CGC at all costs for Sports.

TAG would be a niche market, I can't imagine that even 1% of collectors would consider a TAG slab... And probably only 2% know what it is. So pointless including them in any sort of populous value schematic.... Also your Zach Wereniski is wrong, that PSA 10 was a "Silver Foil" parallel, the normal is $120-$150.

Thanks to both comments.
I guess a person just keeps staying with psa with their price increase, delays, and hard grading.
I never heard of 130point.com
