Posted By: <b>Steve Dawson</b><p>There are (were) two different "SCD Grading" companies. The first one was owned/operated by Krause Publications and Sports Collectors Digest. They had a red logo/label and the grading seems to be pretty consistent with PSA and SGC, if not a bit tougher. I've heard nearly all good reports from people who have crossed cards from this "SCD Grading" to PSA or SGC at the same or higher grades.<br /><br />The second "SCD Grading" company, Sports Cards Direct, is the one in the posted auction. They bought the rights to the "SCD Grading" name and continue to grade cards, with a blue logo/label. Your best bet is to stay far away from these cards (the blue logo/label), as their closest rival is probably Pro Grading.<br /><br /><br />Steve
