For the first time last year I joined PSA. My 7 free grading coupons arrived, and I had my 7 cards ready for crossover submission. 5 were HOF'ers from the 1960's in GAI "8" holders (looked good to me)- one was a 1948 Leaf Ted Williams SGC 60, and one was a 1934 Goudey Carl Hubbel BVG 5. All I asked was for an even grade swap as minimum. Every day I would check PSA for the posted results. Drum roll, when the grades posted NOT ONE made it. All were returned in their original slabs. Well that was a big waste of time and money. But get this, several years ago PSA took submissions without membership, I sent in a T206 Cobb bat on CSA 5 (old CSA holder)- and it now sits in a PSA 5 holder. People have balked at the Cobb crossover story, but true it is.
