I understand completely. however, I think we'd both agree that "said psa 6 vs said sgc 6" would command more money...

most of your cards are psa, correct? I know mine are. I do have a few sgc holders but I think the set registry that psa runs does add value...and a better brand, although they are plagued w/ questionable practices in the past.

whether or not they affix the proper grade is a completely different story....

which is why we search for the diamonds in the proverbial rough!

I went heavy on that 59 4.5 mantle that pwcc just auctioned off and lost.
same scenario w/ the yaz on that other thread.

that 72 aaron posted in Aprils pick up now resides 5 grades higher. 5 grades!

I like that they make mistakes, personally! ...but those mistakes go both ways, ie your 4.5.

and i think alotta folks have passed on ugly 7's, 8's and even 10's and such, but there is that certain sector out that that "need that 8" to climb the ranks and don't even really consider an sgc card to begin with...

all i was trying to convey.

much love.
