Not quite. PSA doesn't scan every card like SGC. You can verify them saying a cert number is authentic or not on their website, but there is not a picture of every card there. PSA Auction Prices Realized will pickup at least a percentage of scans of PSA cards from sales, but these just rely on the seller images.

And someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think SGC provides a blanket public link to images based on cert #. I think they are available only in the submitter's account.

If you have an id to login with at SGC you can enter a cert and see an image. Assuming they were imaging at the point the card was graded.

And...PSA is providing scans for all cards graded at the Econ service level and above. Sorry if I mislead the public to suggest even cards valued at $75 would be scanned.

I would stand corrected, thanks. I buy graded cards, but don't submit much. It would make sense that PSA started doing the imaging as SGC has been for some time now.
