However, because SGC has recently tightened its grading standards, I was able to purchase a great card based on a 4.5 grade.

There is some great looking low grade vintage out there. You just have to have an eye and patience.

+1 I have the same opinion... love the SGC tuxedos. Of course, it sounds like the OP wants to fill out a PSA set registry, so he'll have to pay a little more for the PSA label. To each, their own...
