SGC to PSA Crossover Submission Results

If they do not charge, I may attempt a few cross overs!

lol so you wait four months to learn they won’t slab your card — and pay full price. Jesus H.

Ah, but the joy at the end of the rainbow if any of your cards come back in that fresh lighthouse holder...

Well, in this case the submitter told them to not reholder unless they met his minimum grade. Not sure what your complaint is. PSA may have considered the others trimmed or altered; they are therefore worth more slabbed with a number grade by SGC.

FWIW - I’m sure there are countless similar stories for a lot of the grading companies, but I have a ‘51 Bowman Mantle that was very nice. It was graded a GAI 6 (original slab). I brought it to the National last year and submitted it to PSA in the GAI holder with a minimum grade of 5. Got it back not crossed over for failing to meet the minimum grade. After thinking it over, I decided to crack it and submit it raw. PSA graded it a 6.

This is something I keep hearing from both dealers and other collectors. Glad your story has a happy ending despite paying 2 times for grading. Big price difference between the GAI holder and the PSA so you did well.

Let’s see if I’ve got this right.

Mantra #1 - Buy the card, not the holder.

Mantra #2 - Sell the holder, not the card.

Mantra #3 - There is no hypocrisy in the hobby.

Now that’s pretty funny!
