From what I remember hearing this has not happened because PSA will not cross SGC Cards over as same grade.

I think PSA graders and their reviewers are trained to NOT follow the published grading standards listed on their web site. i recently tried to recently crossover 9 conservatively graded prewar and postwar vintage to PSA w/ the cards still in their SGC holders (+ two easy SGC 1s). so 11 in total. yes, i know this was a moronic move but wasted money anyway. it went worse than expected. i went f'in 9 for 11. it was a joke. nothing crossed over except my 2 SGC 1s which were simple. i showed one or two examples on my interview last month w/ John Newman if you want to see the SGC 2 1938 Joe DiMaggio. When i opened a case for that Joe D, it was automatically closed w/ this company line , "PSA is an educated opinion-based service, and sometimes, these opinions may not be agreed with. I know how important it is for your cards to reach their full potential while undergoing the grading process with us. Two graders look at the card, one of whom is a senior grader. They come to an agreement on the card's final grade. If you want the card looked at again, it must be submitted for a full review and crossover service. We will not provide a pre-paid label. I am sorry we can’t do more for you. ". the psa support reps didn't even case both cards' grader notes supported the cards being crossed over w/ my min required grade (2 - good). they didn't care their published grading standard for the "good condition" matched the grader notes my other customer support case was closed with very similar wording. so I agree with Johnny that PSA will not crossover SGC slabs using the 1 to 1 direct grade. they will likely offer a discount to crossover along while asking us to bend over w/ taking the undeserved lower grade. why? because they can (& the history repeats itself) and they have that card guarantee in-place which is is a $ headache to them Last edited by tjisonline; 05-01-2025 at 09:37 AM. |

Here's the best business reason I can come up with to ditch SGC. Collector's shutters SGC and announces a special deal to cross all of those cards to PSA slabs. Massive influx of cash for little effort.

I’ve said it before. I’d love for all vintage to be shipped to SGC (whether under its current name, PSA, or some new PSA Vintage title). I see no reason why modern graders should be looking at 100+ year old stuff.

Crazy idea and a bit off topic - make one of them vintage only so we don’t gotta wait months and months for a company grading millions of modern crap.

Could easily see PSA offering a window for folks to get their SGC cards crossed over to PSA holders at grade -- probably coinciding with PSA formally shutting down new SGC submissions at some point. "We recognize the rigorous historical standards of SGC grading are in line with our own here at PSA, etc, etc, etc.", and no charge if an SGC slab does not cross. Great moneymaker, and a way to refocus collectors to a new reality with TPG. I'm probably 95% PSA in my collection, and would cross most of the rest if offered the chance to do so affordably. That is despite positive memories and experiences grading with and working with SGC in the past. That said, I'd feel compelled to keep my T206 Lionel Carter Cobb and a T227 Charles Nagy Cobb in their original SGC holders. There would be something not right in my mind with failing to respect that provenance and history with SGC. |

I’ve actually seen PSA slabs with the Lionel Carter collection designation. So at some point someone crossed those SGC slabs to PSA, and PSA kept the provenance.

I'll prefer to keep such cards in the original SGC holders, just given the documented history of those cards being turned over to SGC -- but 100% to each their own. Glad that historical provenance is not being lost with the crossover process. As the Net54 saying goes, every thread needs a card (or two). Both were an absolute joy to add many years back now. I can't tell if the Nagy reeks of cigarette smoke through the slab, sadly ![]() | |
