Look no further than the Anson card. SGC had the first shot at grading that card. They graded it appropriately (1.5). Then PSA had an equal opportunity to grade that card. It gets a 4? How does a card with that much paper loss get a 4? How does SGC see the paper loss, but PSA does not?

Bobby, forget value, turnaround times or any other factor. If nothing else, don't you want your cards graded accurately?
Most people who are selling cards want to maximize their sale price, it's as simple as that, and perfectly understandable. The better question might be why does the market value PSA so much more highly but that's a long complex answer.
