Scott WhittenburgI've popped quite a few cards from various companies and resubmitted to other slabbers and here's my opinion...
Asking SGC to regrade a card they know came from PSA is "death". SGC WANTS you think they grade harder, so the grade comes in low. Always pop first, then submit.
PSA won't accept it in a holder from anybody else, you have to pop it first. My guy feeling is that if they think it's an old SGC card they grade it tougher.
The vast majority of SGC cards I pop and submit to PSA come back with lower grades, even on old cards.
PSA cards in equivalent grades to SGC almost always have a price premium.
