I just got the results back of my recent submission to SGC. Out of the 27 (T205) cards I submitted, I cracked out 8 cards from PSA, BVG & SGC. The results were 3 stayed the same, 3 went down and 2 went up. The grades of both PSA & SGC are pretty much the same with SGC bumping up one a .5. I must have had two different SGC graders as the only SGC card that I submitted went down a complete point. The biggest grading difference took place between BVG and SGC with two going down and one going up. With that, grading is really subjective, but the top two companies are pretty much using the same standards grading raw cards (still scratching my head over the SGC to SGC). I haven't tried submitting cards in their holder, but would imagine both would still apply the same standards regardless. I don't think you can go wrong with either company and it boils down to your own personal preference. Here were my results:
PSA to SGC
1 to 20
3 to 40
3 to 40
3 to 40
SGC to SGC
40 to 30
BVG to SGC
4 to 3
3.5 to 3
2 to 3
