psa frustration

[baker85]

This is my first time as a member. Im just venting at this point but i have to say that there gift is a major downgrade. I dont want a psa tshirt. The cracker jack book looked great, i wish the gift was on par with that.

Fyi, my wife bought me the membership as a gift so i didn't know about the tshirt at the time of purchase. Like i said, im just venting.

I have some sgc graded cards that i would like to cross over but probably never will. Too many horror stories.

First time poster, so please take it easy on me (by the looks of what I've read so far, I have a lot to learn)...

I have some cards graded by each of SGC and PSA. Do most boardies just leave their cards graded by whichever company already graded them when they purchased them, or is it common for boardies to send them in to either SGC or PSA. Are there a lot of horror stories when crossing them over one way or the other?

It is a personal preference issue. I for one have all my (graded)cards PSA graded, except for the issues they do not holder like BF2, Silks, or B18's, those I use SGC to holder. Like I said its a personal preference issue. Many on this particular board prefer SGC but this is not the case in the industry as a whole.

I would like to have all of my cards graded by SGC, but I hesitate to cross over my BVG and PSA cards because then those pop reports would be even more screwed up than they are now. Most of my cards are low pop, such as Weil Baking and Coupons, and I don't like to skew the pop reports. With low grade T206's, it doesn't matter much because there are hundreds of each card.

I actually got two Cracker Jack books because I renewed within the window they were still giving them away. I'll trade you the book for the shirt. Send me a PM.
