corners
I collect mostly PSA 5 cards. Over the last 4 years I put together a T206 HOF set. My most obvious point which reflects in previous posts is the corners. SGC consistently graded T206's with touched (slightly rounded ) corners a 60/5. PSA is stricter with that as ones with rounded corners end up 4's possibly 4.5's . I bought many SGC 60's with slightly rounded corners that didn't cross. My guess and its just a guess is that most PSA 5's would cross to SGC 60's and only maybe half of the SGC 60's become PSA 5's. I am glad to hear that SGC is being tougher on corners as it makes sense. However they seem to be holding the course on lightly collected S-74 silks . The hand out 40's to near perfect silks with the factory crease and 60's to horribly frayed silks where the factory or tobacco company is only partially legible. On Leon's point BVG has become better. They do a nice job with the S-74 silks apparently understanding the issue better than SGC
On another note the recent trend of centered nicer looking cards holding as much weight as their grades may be inspiring people to sell there off centered , or lesser looking higher grade cards as a result
