Lol, just watched a YT video in which some experienced vintage collectors were saying pretty much just the opposite. They had cracked some PSA 8's, perhaps with the notion of them getting 8.5's or 9's with SGC. And SGC sent one card back a 7, and the other a 7.5.

I think it's probably fairest to say right now that the two graders are very close in their standards, and on any given day it probably could go either way as to who is the toughest.
