Default better grading strategy?

Posted By: Peter Thomas

I have had both PSA and SGC raise grades of the others cards, but not very often. At last year's National I had a SGC 60 T204 Thomas Jones cross over to a PSA 6 and a SGC 60 T205 Cady cross over to a PSA 6. I submitted 39 cards to PSA for cross over, 3 went up a grade, 5 did not cross over for min grade and 1 evid/trim. The other 30 crossed over at the same grade (2 plus 1/2 and 2 minus 1/2). I also submitted 23 PSA cards to SGC for cross over with no min grade requirement. 1 card was raised a grade, 17 crossed over within 1/2 grade, and 5 were down graded 1, 2 or 3 grades these were all n172's where SGC is really harsh on backs, but since their holders for these cards are so much better looking and safer than the baggies I had all of my PSA 172's crossed over except for a PSA 8 horizontal Matimore.
