PSA vs. SGC: Which is better and why? Is your experience that they grade according to their own published grading scales? Which one would you rely on to be accurate (i.e., you believe they consistently grade according to their own scale)? |

I have never submitted to a grading company. But, the cards that I buy in SGC holders are consistantly more accurate than the PSA. I am not saying SGC is perfect because I have had some that looked lower or better than the grade. |

If you do a quick search for "PSA vs. SGC" or something along those lines you will get literally hundreds of responses to this question. |

I have many card graded by different company : psa, bgs, sgc, ksa and gai. The best company according to me is BGS. The second is PSA. I not trust SGC. |

PSA is the best and sell for the most. PSA and Beckett have a registries that thousands use while very few people participate in SGC's registry. This hurts the resale value of SGC cards. |

i dont trust SGC because i see many card of a dealer graded by sgc. And i heard some history about this dealer and this company have a deal. Many time This dealer have .5 or 1 point more of the real grade according to me. Anyway the grading is verry different person by person. It is my opinion but about all company psa is according to me the best company but i have in my collection some overgraded card by psa. |

As stated earlier, do a search of PSA vs SGC. I think you will get a wake up call about PSA. If you want to support them fine but they have such a poor history that I would never use them. If you are worried about one dealer that uses SGC exclusively and that he has preferental treatment than there are 10 times more PSA dealers that receive that same treatment. |

Nelson has posted on the board plenty of times and expained his situation, he's Canadian. I don't think people need to jump on him every time he posts and comment on how he types. |

The reason for my post is that I wouldn't want people to feel that they can't post here if their verbal and/or writing is less than perfect. If someone has something on topic to share, let them share it. |

I read the post and I think it is pretty clear that Nelson is saying that he prefers BGS and PSA over SGC. |

I guess I can read between the lines then and understand his posts better than others, no harm done. I just think he's explained himself multiple times and shouldn't have to after every post. |

Sorry...this is carrying it to the extreme in asking someone who's second language is English and then suggesting that he ask someone to translate...these aren't legal documents here (i.e. powers of attorney), it's a message board. Keep posting away...I think we all can understand if we get off our high horses. |

I think the grading services have their place in the marketplace- and all of the majors(SGC, PSA, GAI, BGS) do their best to accurately grade cards to the best of their ability. It is not an exact science and in my opinion- is not that easy. |

Josh- I have to disagree with you on GAI, to an extent. I certainly have submitted a large number of cards to be graded and don't feel I get any kind of break. I get the same disappointing grades which I get from PSA and SGC |

I submitted a T206 proof card to SGC and they didn't know what to do with it, so they sent it back. I saw a similar card on eBay, graded by PSA, so I'm at a loss as to why SGC couldn't figure it out or didn't bother contacting me before sending it back. |

Nelson is hardly the only poster on Net 54 who makes grammatical errors! For most of the others, English is their first language. |

From my experience SGC is very inconsistent when grading strip cards, & I will not use their service anymore. |

Is a "crossover" a previously slabbed card? |

Yes, a crossover is a card already graded by somebody else. |

A few months ago I decided on a second opinion. Realizing that crossover can result in an biased opinion, four SGC, BVG or PSA holdered cards were bustid then submitted to a different company and upgraded; I was looking for the flips but can't locate right now. Though I'm not sure I wish to reveal the players names as it may affect later sales -not mine, but our heirs'. |
