Looking for your Advice on Possible Cross Grade/Bump for 1952 Topps

And this is exactly why I come to these boards. A lot of experience and great input. If I ever crack and grade I will let you know the results!

I recently tried to cross a couple of sgc and bvg cards to psa without cracking them out myself. I had no luck and am, of course, out the grading fees.

Obviously there are risks cracking out yourself, damaging the card in the process, or still not getting the grade you want and having to re-submit to the original TPG. I think if there are surface wrinkles best case scenario would be a PSA 4. For me that would not be worth the trouble and grading fees, and I would keep the card as is. Just my opinion.

I know nothing about the variation discussed. Obviously that could change everything if it in fact commands a large premium.

Be happy with it's current grade and slab. If you crack and sub raw to PSA, you run the risk of getting an EOT / ALT / Auth. Then you have lost your orig. investment. With the defects noted, it is unlikely PSA would give it a higher grade. With their newer, tighter standards, they might even go lower. That said, it is a very nice card of Campy.

Can you give more detail on your comment above? Just curious...thanks.
