A PSA 7 common is worth $600, an SGC 84 is around $350. And then there's the Standard Biscuit situation.....Nobody seems to want to talk about that...Why is that?

So there is an almost 100% increase due to the flip?

Not just the flip Leon, but the quality of the card as well. I have many SGC 84's that would not cross to PSA 6.5's., maybe not even 6's.. You guys know what I'm talking about....This is simply not a PSA friendly board, is that fair to say?

Come on Leon, are you kidding me? How long have you been collecting as well as me?

I agree with Kevin...PSA is great...I mean this looks graded accurately, right?

Way back when I joined the old board I do remember filling out a questionnaire where I had to swear allegiance to SGC.

Such a revolutionary topic as this has never...ever been discussed...hopefully the 'experts" will chime in.

I love these little baseball card pissing matches so I'll fuel the fire. TPG grades as somehow adding value or validating the value of a card will eventually land where it belongs. None of them have measures in place to be a consistent way of determining a cards condition. It is one of the best examples of human error and worst examples of control I have ever seen. "Flipping" and an "84" vs a "6.5"......... Pretty funny stuff.

Edited to add that it's a shame this very cool discovery of cards that are extremely presentable is overshadowed by grading. Would have been great had they been sold just as they were found. I would have actually bid and they would have sold for their value, not the plastic slip.

I'm not as high end of a collector as many on the board. I will buy either if it's a card I need but prefer psa graded for a few reasons.
1. If I upgrade a card I can resell for better money with psa
2. I prefer the 1-10 system

Other than that I've seen very inaccurate grades from both companies.

I thought we had a whole thread on the Standard Biscuits.

I don't send any cards to anyone anymore but when I did I sent to SGC bc I felt their overall knowledge about what they were looking at when it came to prewar was vastly superior and their holder looked better.
