In my (seemingly never-ending) quest to upgrade the quality of my T206 HOF set, I'm thinking of crossing these recent pick-ups over to SGC. The PSA 5 Dark Cap seems like a solid SGC 60:

But I'm not so sure about this PSA 4, it may have too much staining to earn an SGC 50:

Any thoughts?

Yea, I think as discussed in previous threads SGC is very tough on staining.

I think that wouldn't go any higher than a 30.

SGC is very easy to work with-you can tell them if it wont cross to the equal grade do not break it out.

Yes, they are great folks, I just won't bother submitting it for crossover if it will obviously result in a downgrade. Thanks.

I think the white cap has about a 20% chance of crossing. The dark cap should be fine. My only concern would be the top right corner. It that an enamel chip, corner fold, or what? Maybe it is just in the scan and nothing to worry about.

Methinks they'll both cross.

I concur. The staining doesn't affect anything other than the borders IMHO.

M's fan, I live in Seattle. I am an M's fan, but must admit, as a U of Wisconsin grad, am a Badgers fan not a Huskies fan.
