I have entire sets of 50s near mint cards that I'd send in to PSA at some point to be graded but won't because it's not worth waiting six months for their return. I'm sure plenty of people feel the same.

While I don't disagree with the thought that they'd be making more if they were doing things better, have you seen the lines at their booths at the major shows? If nobody is using them anymore someone should tell all those people!

Yogi would have said, nobody submits to them any more, they have too many submissions.

I only send stuff in very occasionally, and not many cards when I do. So far I'd only used SGC. I've never been keen on the whole "pay us money for the right to pay us more money" club thing. I had thought I'd use PSA eventually for some more modern cards. Over the past year or so, I've seen both do things that I just really have a problem with. PSA- grading a card an 8, folding over the corner, then "fixing it by folding it back and reslabbing still as an 8. If the grading co is doctoring cards, what's the point? SGC - Went with the "club" model. And - Slabbed at least two cards that have faked features that would make them a lot more valuable if they were genuine. Wrote a whole explanation about why for someone who was having them reviewed. Total slam dunk on the fakeness. Their decision? Nope, forget the facts we're right. So now while I'm still interested in getting some cards done somehow - mostly to make it easier for my family to sell them hopefully a few decades from now - I'm totally disillusioned with the entire thing. I don't see any honesty from either company, nor do I see what I'd want for customer service. SGC can get it right when it's easy, but apparently not at any other time. That PSA can't even do customer service when it's easy is just bad. I haven't considered Beckett in so long that I can't really say much about them. Steve Birmingham |

Could you elaborate on SGC's mistake that's pretty cryptic what you wrote.
