I'm convinced on grading companies

Seeing the numerous posts comparing the grading companies and having heard the rumors about PSA myself in regards to favoring people, I am now a convert to SGC if/when I get cards graded. I used them a few times at their very beginning, then used BGS, then used PSA. With no knowledge on my part as to any severe problems with SGC, and with better looking displays, I'll go back to them. I forget the other newer grading company that you guys discuss but I'll eventually check them out.

I don't really dislike any grading company.

I go with SGC because I like Pre WWI vintage which they specialize in, I like their holders, and I like the more personal touch when conversing with them.

I don't like GAI's holders (at least the one I got that housed a T201)

I don't consider BGS for pre war vintage. (Just don't take them seriously)

I have no qualms buying PSA vintage but always plan to cross them over to SGC holders.

because of appearance and knowledge of really vintage stuff--but I DON'T have to!

About the GAI slab (see following post): you have to go around the blasted thing with a needle-nose pliers, breaking off edge bits, with plastic flying everywhere--that is, if you want to get the card OUT.

Jason -

Just curious, what problem did you experience with the GAI slab?

Seem to be some of the best looking (to me) and the worst fitted ones on the market. I have seen dozens of cards slipping around in their cases. Ask Ryan C. about his. I saw them at the National and they were aweful fits.....I do like the way they look though......later

For what its worth, I have several GAI graded cards. I really like the look of the slabs. I have not had any slips but do have 2 or 3 cards that seem to have more room to move than they ought to. My SGC cards dont budge. Some of my psa's also have room to move (and Im not refering to the non-fitted "baggy" psa slabs which I refuse to purchase).
