Since the SGC news, results from trying to cross a SGC card to PSA

[parkplace33]

Title says it all. Recently, anyone tried to cross a SGC card to PSA. If so, what was the result? Same grade, higher grade, lower grade? How long did the process take? I would think PSA has been inundated with questions/crosses since the news, but I haven’t seen any posts about it.

I am planning to trying crossing a few cards soon and will let you know the results.

I have not but I have been keeping an eye on prices of SGC graded stuff and from the small sample size there has been no adverse impact on the prices.

Has anyone made observations to the contrary?

I'm considering the exact opposite (converting PSA to SCG before the superior slabs go away). SGC graded cards just stand out and look much better inside the black frames. And PSA's crinkled baggies don't do it for me either. Nor does the diagonal placement within the slabs.

Hope PSA doesn't ruin a good thing and do away with the nice SCG Slabs, and/or increase their processing times.

+1, putting together a 15 card crossover sub to SGC.

May I ask the reason why? Just prefer the Sgc holders?

Yes, it's all stuff for my PC and prefer to have them in a black apron.

Minority view at least in the "enclave" but I don't own a single SGC (or Beckett) card I wouldn't prefer in an equal grade PSA holder.

This not directly related to the cross over question but while setting up at the Philly and Chicago shows, I saw no negative effect on SGC sales and prices, as I sold SGC cards as normal.

I was surprised that I heard nothing negative from any customer about it. In fact I heard very few people mention it at all.

Interesting. I hope sales were good for you at both shows. I went to Philly and thought it was extremely busy.

Mark me down as an "enclave" member. Everything about PSA from the crazy-long processing times to the generic flips to under-graded cards to the trim-slabbed scandal has been a major turn-off for me. I prefer SGC.

I don't particularly like PSA as a company myself, just being pragmatic about it. If value was irrelevant I wouldn't want anyone's slabs. Since value unfortunately has become relevant, I'd rather have the slabs with the best value.

Ditto.

Have you considered crossing now? Or not a priority for these cards?

Peter, misread your original post. If you did, would you consider crossing?

It seems a daunting task and given how PSA does things I would guess I would take downgrades on quite a few.
