I come at this from a different angle, as I am only interested in PSA 8s and SGC 88s commons, I think for a couple reasons: you can't really get the 14s graded that high and they are spectacular. Of course, the prices are much lower and, sadly, the SGCs are still way under the PSAs, even though grading standard seems same. Of course, the pop reports at that level differ from the mid-grades already cited here. The high number cards for 1915 tend to be more scarce and earn extra dough if they are. I have one that is "none higher" and two that are "one higher." They all look "pack fresh" and that's hard to beat. Still, I wish the SGCs would climb and I will soon test if a couple can cross to PSA a same level (despite warnings)....

Greg, FWIW, when I was collecting this set '04-'09 I cracked about 3 dozen SGC slabbed cards and they all crossed over to PSA, a small portion at either half a grade higher or lower, since PSA didn't have half grades at the time.
The only set I haven't been able to cross over at the same level is T200. SGC seems to grade those 2-3 grades higher than PSA, and I eventually gave up trying since it always led to brutal results. |

Anthony curious if you sent the flips back to SGC to have them removed from pop?

I only have two '14 CJs, so I can't add much value to this conversation, but to the folks who follow these cards, I ask this: did the WaJo PSA 2 sold a couple months ago by Probstein look a lot like the PSA 8 sold by PWCC last week? Not trying to create any conspiracy theories, but the cards just looked a lot a like as I recall. I can't pull up the 2 anymore in my ebay history, so I can't compare the images side by side.

Anthony, what type of grades were those three dozen cards that crossed very well to PSA? And would you guess that SGC deleted them from their pop report?

Why does it matter if SGC deleted cards from their pop report?

in theory it makes the pop report more factual, but I think that ship has long since sailed. I sent in the flips once, they never changed the pop report, so I never bothered again.
