I have had many emails about these cards graded by SGC, and the fact they are over graded (for the most part), and alot of you already know that. I think this goes back to the dislike of PSA by a large portion of the members. Why is this? What is so special about SGC, and so negative pertaining PSA? Re-sale wise, it's not even close. A PSA 7 common is worth around $600, an SGC 84 is around $350. And then there's the Standard Biscuit situation.....Nobody seems to want to talk about that...Why is that?

Not just the flip Leon, but the quality of the card as well. I have many SGC 84's that would not cross to PSA 6.5's., maybe not even 6's.. You guys know what I'm talking about....This is simply not a PSA friendly board, is that fair to say?

I'm not as high end of a collector as many on the board. I will buy either if it's a card I need but prefer psa graded for a few reasons.
1. If I upgrade a card I can resell for better money with psa 2. I prefer the 1-10 system Other than that I've seen very inaccurate grades from both companies. |

I thought we had a whole thread on the Standard Biscuits.
I don't send any cards to anyone anymore but when I did I sent to SGC bc I felt their overall knowledge about what they were looking at when it came to prewar was vastly superior and their holder looked better.

Way back when I joined the old board I do remember filling out a questionnaire where I had to swear allegiance to SGC.

Ass kissers are usually preceded by pot stirrers.

I love these little baseball card pissing matches so I'll fuel the fire. TPG grades as somehow adding value or validating the value of a card will eventually land where it belongs. None of them have measures in place to be a consistent way of determining a cards condition. It is one of the best examples of human error and worst examples of control I have ever seen. "Flipping" and an "84" vs a "6.5"......... Pretty funny stuff.
Edited to add that it's a shame this very cool discovery of cards that are extremely presentable is overshadowed by grading. Would have been great had they been sold just as they were found. I would have actually bid and they would have sold for their value, not the plastic slip.

so all this proves is that "collectors" who pay more money for a flip and a lesser card are what? STUPID?

On a somewhat serious note, Kevin...I don't dispute the fact that in a lot of cases PSA cards of similar grade sell for more than SGC...the registry was a smart marketing ploy for PSA...no doubt.
But...I do not agree with your claim that SGC grades more loosely than PSA...this is not true. |

I tell you what Pete, you have a 51 bowman Mantle rookie in pristine condition, but you need to get the money out of it fairly quickly and profit the most possible, would you rather have it in an SGC 88 holder, or PSA 8 holder?

I don't worry about hammers with my collection, just when patching up the barn. I'm just a Jarhead Hillbilly and like the old sport and history of baseball and the cards are a nice way to tie them together. When it becomes stressful or a point of contention, I just laugh and back off of the hobby for awhile. TPG's are a pain in my ass as a collector and as a realist and simple objective thinker - I don't see any of them being worth a premium so I pass when it's applied. T206 are overly abundant and patience will pay off.

"Conrats" yourself. This "dumb ass" put himself through school thanks to the rewards granted for serving years as a forward operating Marine in Afghanistan. I'm confidently skilled enough to not represent your opinion of me after a light hearted comment. It's just baseball cards, no need to call names. You would not feel comfortable doing it to my face so don't do it here.

I fueled the fire and wasn't clear that I was just busting balls. I know it's a sore topic so should have expected a personal backlash. There is honestly a jar of moonshine very nearby so I will take your advice.
