IMO, the buyer of the card should personally grade the card, taking into account its' pluses and minuses that matter to him, before considering the slab, regardless of which TPGer is involved.
I also agree with Travis about SGC's brutality on off-centered cards, which is mildly amusing since they were known for their extreme laxness on o/c cards submitted in the past. They have done a major tweak to their grading model.
