Where do you cut off where you just submit vs. DIY before you submit?
Thanks again - appreciate the time and advice

I am a bit more liberal to the cut off. Mid 70s works for me. I get a bit more tweaky from 80's on. And my range of cards that I have stops at 99. I am not inclined to go further unless I am hunting specific cards in which case they tend to be graded already. And for me, personally. I can afford SGC and that is where I send cards when I get enough, which ain't many either. 3-4 tops at a time and not all that frequent.
I am still stinging over the Wild-Card Stockton 1000 point card I recently sent to SGC. It came back as 'A' evidence of trimming. Which, was not the case at all but what do you do with that?
