PSA cards are graded on who knows what criteria
Back in the day they gave unfair high grades to friends and good customers.
I bought a bulk of cards from a friend that were all PSA graded ...he hated PSA and had them crossed to sgc many came back from sgc lower.....20 or so...
He kept buying PSA graded cards in the same set and finally became the number one guy in the sgc registry for that set.
I was fortunate enough to get a good amount of them...half of the collection.
I had a big time dealer try to cross them
They came back in lower grades.
We are talking about cards in the 400 dollar range for commons and tens of thousands for hof's.
They said the same shit....trimmed and pointed out certain defects...but they were all graded 8s buy them.
U make your own decision.
PSA is a joke.

U will never have any success crossing vintage cards w psa... they know the population and will not help u even if the cards are worthy....even if they were once graded an 8 by them, they will screw u with a 7 on the way back or a 6.5...depending on what teenager they have grading your investment

I have collected cards my whole life, as a kid i just loved old cards because i was a athlete and read history
I never knew shit about card grading when i was young and really didn't learn much about it until the last few years when i jumped in again
I want to apologize to anyone that i offended.
I have studied thousands of cards in the last few yrs.
Almost all 33 goudeys
Sports kings, baseball and Indian cards all 1933.
I darn near had the whole 33 goudey baseball set....60 cards short...had 2 ruth's and foxx and vance, bengough all in psa 8s or sgc 88s
I only collect 8s or 88s.
I have a shit ton of Indian cards in 88s and 36 sports kings in psa 8 and 3 in 88s
I can honestly say in my heart after looking at all of my stuff that psa 8s are better than sgc 88s....as far as quality.
Thats why they are less expensive.
There are exceptions and when there is the sgc fetches a fair price.
PSA cards are superior to sgc without a doubt in my opinion not even close.
People say sgc rivals PSA in pre war cards..
Not my experience at all.
Here and there....maybe.
But, honestly I haven't experienced that yet
PSA cards are far better.

In the early days PSA was very very sketchy
Many bad grades.
Now....they r tough
U had better have a perfect card to get an 8 now.
They were always tough on ruths and gehrigs and other superstars but easy on the crappy players, but not anymore.
I would never own an sgc over a PSA in same grade if i had the choice

If u just want to have a cool card
Sgc is the way
If u want a cool card and want to make a decent return on your investment
PSA is the way to operate
