SGC Grading Turnarounds

[gonefishin]

Same here, 5 days total from when I mailed them USPS until I had them back in hand graded. Amazing!

Sent a submission through Nashcards and had them back in about a week. Super fast and impressed so I just sent off another sub

Same here. But their grading I feel is super harsh.

I prefer SGC but their current graders pass out "A's" like Chiclets on a border-town street. They need a primer that pre-war cards were not always cut to exact specifications at the factory.

I thought SGC was a little more relaxed about A's vs numbers. I've heard of at least a few people getting A's from PSA because cards had been in screwdowns. Then, they'd submit to SGC and get number grades.



I've never submitted before, but will probably send a handful soon, with the intent to resell.

I know PSA commands a slight premium, but on the whole, between PSA and SGC, which do you all think is the most fair?

Absolutely. Always has been. Maybe it's my imagination, but I have always thought they come in same or lower than PSA.

I really havent felt hard done by sgc yet. Maybe on a few cards I felt like should have been like .5 or 1 grade higher but nothing super terrible really. Im not super well versed in the standards but have a general idea of what each card should get so im not too terribly disapointed. Granted I submit cards that I want protected for my pc so im not really in it for the money. Maybe that's why im never disappointed.

I've also never submitted to PSA but to reflect on what people have said, it's mostly cause the price and turn around time. I paid good money for my cards, why would I want them stuck in some warehouse for 4 months to a year and have no idea when I would get them back when I could pay a single fee and have them back in under a month. I do think if I had a real banger of a modern card I'd probably pay the fees and send to PSA anyway.
