"What gives is that people aren't answering the question at hand. Instead of answering "how confident are you that a card in their holder s graded correctly?" people are answering "how confident are you in sending in a card to them for grading?"
I would also add that the question should be refined to clarify if what is being asked is "if a card slabbed as a 7 is AT LEAST a 7" or "if a card slabbed as a 7 is EXACTLY a 7" since it seems people feel SGC under-grades yet still rate them a 9."
I disagree with this assertion. If you read the comments, you will see that most people believe sgc to be the most accurate of the grading companies - even if it means that the card is going to get a lower grade than they expect. Most who comment that sgc undergrades are refering to how they kill paperloss and writing on a card. True, these cards are usually going to get no better than a 30 no matter how good the rest of the card looks. However, if you look at sgc's grading criteria, they are getting the exact grade that they should based on sgc's own standards. They are very consistent with their grades and that is why they rate a 9. I will also add, in most instances, when Ive received a card back from sgc that was lower than expected or wouldnt cross, on second review, Ive found the defect that justified the grade.
