I got these off of the BST from someone that had gotten back their submission and been disappointed in the results.

SGC has been HAMMERING cards for centering!

Overall they seem to be trying to prove they are the harshest grader in the game...and not sure what that accomplishes. Need cards graded accurately, first. It is not affordable even at 4 cents a card to submit and have a TPG hammer you.

If getting under graded cards is what floats one's boat, great. PSA, might be able to get away with it because they own the market but SGC cannot. And I keep seeing an overwhelming number of examples from SGC that seem at least a full grade lower than what the card seems to be.

even some of the centered cards are getting murdered. Off center is costing 3 grades down. slight off centering 1-2 spots down. I think they have been consistent though. If I was in major buying mode these days, I'd be SGC all the way. Better price, better cards...with less resale value.

Agree. I am buying SGC and I am getting bumps on everything. Most ardent of SGC supporters would say PSA mist be over grading them but not a chance. PSA with all of their many faults, presently, is grading consistently, accurately and fairly even for the common submitter.

Just got grades back for a small stack of cards from my very first submission to SGC. Received March 15th and on their way back today April 1st (assuming it's not an April Fool's joke). Standard submission. Way faster then anybody else I've sent to. About 3 months quicker then PSA's "Express" service around this time last year.

Seem to grade tobacco's pretty fairly, but a bit tougher on 50's-60's stuff it looks like.
