My new Cobb! Question about crossing over.

Hi, guys.
I hope this isn’t seen as just an excuse to show off the Cobb I bought yesterday, though I am ridiculously excited about acquiring it. I actually do have a legitimate question.
I’m a PSA guy, not necessarily out of any preference to their quality but simply because that’s the company I started with and the expense would just be too great at this point to cross everything over to SGC.
Has anyone ever crossed over from SGC to PSA? Seems like most of the people on this board go the other direction. Can I expect pretty much the same grade? I was hoping this might jump to a PSA 4. I have a few other 4’s that look about the same as this one. But maybe that’s just wishful thinking.
I’ve never crossed a card. I’m assuming I break it out and send it to PSA with no record of the previous grading? My thought is that it wouldn’t be a good idea to include the previous holder, which might put the idea into the PSA grader’s head that it’s definitely a 3. I guess the only risk is that I might get a 2. I really don’t think that will happen. It’s too nice a card and from what most say on this board, SGC is tougher.
Any thoughts? Advice would be much appreciated.
