JasonI'm new to the board as well. I collect PSA, mainly because they are easier to find on ebay, and for the registry, which of course, SGC also has. I had 12 cards graded by them when I first got my old cards graded, and one of them came back trimmed that I didn't think was trimmed. I also have one in a holder as a PSA 5, that looks smaller than the rest of the cards I have so I wonder if it is trimmed (got it on ebay already in the holder). Other than that, I only felt misgraded on a couple of cards, a 4 that I thought would be a 3, and a 5 that I hoped might be a 6. Overall, I'm satisfied using PSA, though I am always impressed with high grade SGC cards.
PROs ALWAYS look too good to be true. No one can seriously think that all these people would only send to PRO when they had a great card to be graded! Ever seen a PRO 4 or 5? HA HA!
My question for you who have been at this longer than I have:
Have you noticed a jump in t206 PSA prices on ebay lately? About 3 months ago I routinely paid less than $100 for a PSA 6, and now they are easily going for $130 and up. Opinions on why?
