PSA cross over service gripe

This is a company that doesn't let you send a crossover in the same order as a raw card being graded . They even frown on you sending it in the same package. If the cards were not more desirable and more valuable in a PSA holder they could not get away with marginal customer service. Because most sgc cards do not crossover I stopped buying them in almost all cases. I also believe PSA is far superior to SGC or Becket and long term if the cards are valuable your investment is worth more graded by PSA

Just because PSA does not cross over SGC cards does not necessarily mean that SGC graded cards are inferior in any way, shape, or form...that's just what they want you to believe by denying the majority of them from crossover. They still get paid regardless and then have the consumer believing their standards are higher when instead it's just a ploy aimed at making you question SGC's standards.

I moved this from the BST. Members need to be careful they are posting in the correct sections please. I am a card collector not a TPG collector.
As for crossovers, I would almost never send anything to PSA, as my grader of choice is SGC, so it's not a concern of mine. I am sure it is for many others so ......
