GAI Rejects; but SGC Grades-Very Scary ?

[Archive]

I have had a similar experience. I submitted two very rare cards to SGC - both were returned as not gradeable (I forget the exact reason listed on the card savers). I wanted them graded for my personal collection, so I submitted them to PSA and both were graded 4's. I am not anti-PSA, I use both PSA and SGC. You can't expect any grading company to get it right every time. However, I believe the major companies do a pretty good job of catching most alterations etc. Without the grading companies it would be very difficult to transact business via the internet. The trick is deciding which grading company you have the most faith in. I rely on SGC for all pre-war cards and PSA for modern cards.
