is the SGC submitter knows this and also knows their card will return in the
same calendar year it was submitted. PSA submitters have no idea a) when
their cards will return and b) what grade they will receive. Anything is
possible with PSA grades, there is a lack of rhyme or reason. It's an
imperfect reality, but still reality. Trent King
PS- the best answer for hobbyists who prefer slabbed, is to deal with
previously slabbed cards. That way, you can avoid the current uncertainty
with submitting and judge slabbed cards on their merits.

I agree.
I used to submit many cards to both PSA and SGC.
I will now only buy cards that are already graded.
I know the grade when I buy it and get the card right away.
No mystery or disappointment.
