3. This is where you may notice the biggest or smallest difference. Some people will ONLY buy PSA auto and some could care less and will pay the same amount for a JSA auto.(from my experience)

4. I personally love the way SGC grades. They seem to be dead on with their grades. I have noticed lately that PSA is just way too strict and inconstant too. I have gotten cards back with stains graded a 5 with no stain designation and cards that look amazing as 4's. SGC if definitely my preference for grading, however if you are looking to make a quick flip PSA may be your best play short term. Lowest PSA usually will go is like $6.50 so multiply your 500 cards by the extra $1.50 and your looking at $750 right off the bat in grading fees. If you're looking at lower end cards SGC may be worth the play, higher end (where you can recoup that $750 in 5-10 cards, then PSA probably.

K bye.

Although I have never submitted anything to anyone, I have, while trying to learn/educate myself, found so many submissions/slab cards that make one scratch their head!

I know some are older slabbed cards, and one cannot, imo, compare them to new graded cards, but even the consistencies I have seen with new slabbed, or hologrammed cards, also have me scratching my head.

I have debated this back and forth in my head numerous times who I would send my cards into if I were to get them graded, and every time I come back to the conclusion, SGC is the best. As a bonus, I also like the looks of their slabs the best.
