I did NOT have to take the cards out of their SGC slabs before sending them to PSA. They did NOT damage any of the cards during the removal process (and my guess is that they have some easy way of doing this since it is probably a common thing).
The cards were indeed RE-graded by PSA. They did not just assume that SGC was correct in their grading (which they could not have done anyway since some of the SGC grades were "half grades" like 5.5 or 8.8).
NONE of the grades from PSA were higher than any of the SGC grades.
75% of the grades from PSA were the same as the SGC equivalent.
25% of the cards were graded LOWER by PSA ... mainly because they were 19th Century cards with minor back damage from scrapbook removal. PSA KILLS cards for this, while SGC doesn't as bad.
