Here is how the modern card world compares the 3 companies

BGS 9.5= PSA 10 = SGC 98

You would get a huge premium for a BGS 10.

I don't see many SGC 100 and the ones I do see are really bad players with people trying to get a ton for them.

I actually took 3 cards to PSA at the National and said I think these are all over graded. They were all PSA 10's and none were down graded. I still feel those cards are incorrectly graded.

That being said I worry about buying a high end PSA pre-war card. I have considered buying PSA 7-9 Cracker Jacks, but I would never take the card from the case and only try to cross it, but I would be very concerened about them not crossing, so I wait until I either can buy one on the low end or get one in an SGC holder.

As said in another post Everyone should be able to find something wrong with every card if they look long enough, I just think there needs to be a feeling that well this is the best there is so it is a 10. The goudey looks almost fake it's so mint and bright, to me that is a 10.
