I agree. SGC would call the person first in that case.
They are a stand up organization with great people and great policies.
I also agree that they would come up with a fair solution - that if it was my card - I am sure I would agree with their solution (if I believed that their determination was accurate).
BUT - if a card owner did not agree with the lower grade (and put down a minimum grade)... SGC cannot crack out that card and give it a lower grade. Its just that simple.
I believe this is consistent with what I have been saying all along. My initial comments came as a reaction to others claiming that resubmissions should 'have to' be subject to the possibility of lower grades. They shouldn't and they aren't.

Okay... Lets take PSA out of the equation. If I resubmit an SGC card to SGC for further consideration... and put down a minimum acceptable grade (as the current grade). In my eyes they have two options: a) Refuse service b) Give me the card back in the same grade or higher.
It is worth repeating...
All grading companies are in the 'subjective opinion' game. They can never claim that any opinion is 'absolute truth'.
edited spelling. probably should edit more.
