UNC Wagner.. Should I cross this?
 
Just received from REA today. Wish I would have picked this up on Ebay a year or two ago for half price, but what do you think? Should I cross this to SGC? I do like the look of the SGC holders better. Any other insight on this issue?

Well this has been a subject of much discussion lately. ;) If you like the SGC holder better and you understand that the grade may go up or DOWN unless you specify a minimum grade, go for it. I think it would look better against a black gasket and not floating in the PSA card condom.

I would cross it, grade doesn't matter for a card like that and it would look amazing in an SGC holder. Great pickup!!!!

Jeff- Could care less about the numeric grade, and FYI this one is Sans condom... (so it does move around a little in the holder)

Well if that's the case then I think it would look better in the other holder.

Jeff- I am leaning that way. And this is one of the rare cases where I wish the condom was there.... Anyone ever see any of the other examples of this issue??

I'd get it out of that PSA sandwich baggy immediately. YECHH!!!
No doubt it would look much nicer in an SGC slab. Great card.....

If it's moving around in the holder I would probably cross it over. Here is my example...

Yeah if you don't plan on selling it any time soon, I'd take a down grade and cross it to a purdy SGC slab, Leon's example above shows how nice it looks. Probably grade an SGC 20 ?

'purdy'
 
I must say that Leon's sgc slab does heighten the beauty of the card.
Perhaps the switch could be seen as simply changing frames for aesthetic purposes!
