PSA vs. SGC: higher grade vs. nicer holder
 

Posted By: <b>Dan Paradis</b><p>I was shocked when I received this card back from PSA!! I crossed it over to SGC. Even with a grade lower I'm happier it's in a SGC holder (should have been a PSA 1 anyway).<br /><br /><img src="http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u265/danp306/Brouthers1887OldJudgePSA2.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u265/danp306/scan0167.jpg">

Posted By: <b>Fred C</b><p>John,<br /><br />That's just the way PSA encapsulates a lot of OJs. There is a sleeving (mylar, I believe) that is supposed to keep the card from moving too much. The card still moves though...

Posted By: <b>Dan Paradis</b><p>John, <br /><br />I never did call PSA. I decided after that to have all my OJ's graded by SGC. I did try and cross it over and the PA show, obviously it didn't make it. After thinking it over, I decided to send it in to SGC with some other stuff (I busted it out of the case first).<br /><br />Dan

Posted By: <b>sagard</b><p>PSA missed the grade on that card. Why was it sent to them in the first place?<br /><br />As for the holdering on that one who cards. Your not going to make that card appreciably worse with the loose space in the PSA holder or with the tight black borders of the SGC holder.

Posted By: <b>Neal K</b><p>SGC is clearly the correct choice to me - it looks so much nicer in that holder <br /><br />the card is clearly protected in the PSA mylar "condom" <br /><br />SGC 10 or PSA 2 - eh, what's the difference?
