1956 Mantle Advice Needed Sgc 96

[Delray Vintage]

I bought an SGC 96 1956 Mantle over 5 years ago. I see the PSA 9 price just went through the roof in REA, so is it worth trying to cross to PSA? I do not have much experience crossing over as I never sold any of my cards and was not concerned about which holder I had it in. Does PSA usually agree with SGC on the 9 level? Now that we are talking many thousands the issue is what normally happens to SGC 96 when sent to PSA?

It is unlikely to cross as a general proposition but obviously a more informed opinion could be given if you posted a scan of the card.

A few months ago I crossed a SGC 96 1954 Red Heart Dog Food card to a PSA 9. As Peter said, post a scan for a better opinion.

I suppose a 56 Mantle is pre Vietnam War at least. With the huge difference in value I believe it would be worth the grading fees to take a shot. Unless there's some obvious flaw or the card is too off center.

Left in the case or cracked out?

Left in the case. I sent in two SGC graded Red Heart cards for cross over, an 8 and the 9. Both crossed to the same as SGC had graded them. I listed minimum grades of 8 and 8.5 on the form. Both cards were in the SGC holder when PSA received them.

Thanks guys, I have the card in the vault so do not have a scan handy. I guess I was not looking for a Net54 grade, just the general experience crossing over from sgc to psa. Does PSA act objectively when receiving the SGC card, as an SGC 96 should cross? It is kind of ridiculous to even think of this but these mantle collectors seem to pay much more for PSA. I see many SGC mantles that are gorgeous at sgc 80 or 84 but they go so much less than PSA even though they look equivalent. Crazy that someone would pay over 50k for the 56 PSA nine and half for the SGC 96.

General experience is not going to say much about your chances of crossing a card of that magnitude in the holder.
