Reputable is a bit of a loaded word.
I suppose in some ways we could just go straight to reputation, rather than something more substantial. So maybe there's room to debate reputation, with market for their slabs being a reasonable proxy for reputation?
Sadly, even the most reputable graders are far from infallible. And with the sheer mountain of stuff that they grade every day, there ends up being a lot more mistakes than their reputations might suggest.
And now that PSA and SGC are owned by the same larger umbrella company, I guess we can debate whether their reputations are really that divisible. Or whether they should be divisible.
