I guess it was Beckett's customer service that told me they don't share their grading criteria. I took them at their word.

Have you ever had PSA or SGC get back to you indicating you underestimated? Just wondering if they really do or if it's an urban (Faber?) myth.

Ben does have a point about me making a small mountain out of a mole hill, though. I have been trying to consider whether to become a gold or platinum member of either or both while trying to take into account the potential monthly specials, insurance fees, and my grading headache. I will have a cocktail and try to chill.

Thanks guys. If we agree or not, I enjoy the forum and you took the time.

I am a gold club member(SGC) because of their monthly specials. To be honest I use SGC for my personal collection because they really do a better job of grading. Plus their slabs look so much better than the others. If selling I get in on a PSA group submission.

Yes if you sent something in way over the value of the submission level you will get a call. I have had Matt(great guy) at SCG call me a couple times about different issues.
