Default SGC vs PSA

Posted By: T206Collector

...My T206 collection once had only PSA cards in it. When I decided to go with SGC I had 40 PSA cards crossed over--none were lower than PSA 3 and two or three were PSA 6. Most were PSA 5. Only 30 crossed over at the same or higher grade. The other ten were bounced because of trimming, creases/wrinkles and paperloss. My PSA 6 Chase Pink had a corner wrinkle that neither I nor PSA had seen. But SGC found it. I did not crack the cards prior to submission.

Anyway, I echo some of the other posts here--I've seen way too many issues in PSA 5 and higher cards to have any confidence in an online purchase of PSA material. I'd need to see the card in person or get a meaningful discount for the PSA card.
