1. All are reputable. Some believe that PSA sells for slightly more than the others. I think in the high grades, that may be true but there is no real difference in the lower grades. I prefer SGC. Their holders are nicer and they are more consistent. Any cards I buy that are graded by psa I send to sgc to get regraded/crossed over.

2. I mail all my cards in. Send them in a sturdy cardboard box. Cards should have thick cardboard on each side and bubble wrap. Definitely insure them.

3. I think lately there is very little difference in price b/t raw and graded if there is no question regarding the authenticity of the ungraded card. If there is, you can get great deals on raw cards, but you may also get stuck with an altered or counterfiet card.
