Crazy to think the high value cards hinge so much on who graded them at PSA. Does PSA ever give the same grade to an SGC card submitted in the SGC holder?

yes..and you can tell PSA not to change the holder if they wont give it the same grade so you are just out the grading fee.......I always factor 1 grade lower when I bid and I just send in the card and take whatever PSA gives me which is 70% of the time 1 grade lower....there are dealers out there that do the opposite they turn PSA 7s for example into SGC 8s...and though they don't get a PSA 8 price...they get more than they paid for the PSA 7 in todays climate..though that could be changing...
