James GalloSGC - 9.5 More likely to get an "undergraded" card because they hammer paper loss and writing on the back. What really is undergraded though?....
PSA - 6. More likely to get an overgraded card. Most pre-war stuff I have pulled out of a PSA holder has been taken down a few grades. I find with PSA 1-2 though they are often undergraded.
I wouldn't trust them with a tricky issue or a odd variation.
BVG - 3. I have bought a few cards in there holders and poped them out with a grade or two increase. I would never use them for a pre-war card but I haven't had or seen any problems.
GAI - 1. Can't be trusted at this point. Umm yea and every card I have gotten it one of there holders has had problems and has been grossly overgraded by a couple of grades.
SGC is by far and away the best IMO.
