You would think that you could arb the difference, but there is a risk to this as I believe that the only way you are assured a fair grade on a crossover is to break the card out and resubmit it raw.

Unfortunate for SGC but true. I still have most of my collection in their (SGC) holders but I also don't collect high grade stuff. I also don't collect "registry style". (not that there is anything wrong with that, as there isn't, I would just rather collect cards than cards-by-grade-number)
