andy beckerhi stan,
i agree 100% with both you and steve too.
i wish we would all stop the grader bashing.
this site can be a wonderful resource for vintage collectors, but we (the board) has a propensity for pointing out every error found on ebay.
in the overall scope, both sgc and psa do a good job of third party grading which is inherently subjective.
we can disagree with their grades, but as pointed out previously, we could all come up with different grades for the same card.
some of the errors that misidentify cards are unforgivable....but they are just that, errors that can be corrected.
also, i think when reading the "bashing" threads, we need to look beyond the thread and see what the poster's real agenda is.
many of our collections have significant value and the market's perception of certain grading companies can affect the value of one's collection.
i use both companies, and like you said stan, i have been pleased and disappointed with both....but overall i think both sgc and psa do a fairly good job.
so, let's get back to the history cards......and not get so hung up on the grades they are assigned.
