Card Grading...

[Tim206]

but I think you kind of answered your own question

Lol I guess I did. SGC it is. Other then ebay and conventions, where are some good places to look? Auction houses?

Tim, this is a PSA-hating, SGC-loving board for the most part. There are a few PSA collectors here though: myself included. I don't think the holders are "plastic crap", but to each his own. It's all about the cards, whether they're PSA, SGC, BVG/BGS or raw. Welcome to the board!

For the most part, both companies do a fair job, and both companies make their fair share of mistakes. Me personally, I like the SGC holder better, and I like the PSA registry better, and the fact that their cards sell for more money. Enjoy the hobby!

Tim,

You can always look at the Buy/Sell/Trade right here. People are always selling good stuff. http://www.net54baseball.com/forumdisplay.php?f=3

Thanks for all the input. I didn't mean to offend or start a war or anything. I like the PSA registry also but love the way the cards look in the SGC cases against the black background. And i definitely plan on buying from the forum. I have seen nothing but awesome cards!

I have several HOF'ers and a SL and different backs. I plan on starting with HOF and then the horizontal cards with different backs. I have the Pelty, Powell, and Mullin with the common backs, looking for the others...

Don't grade anything unless you are going to sell them soon. Let's abandon someone else telling us if a card is worthy of our collection. We're all capable of sorting threw the fakes aren't we. Just pick a raw grade and stick to it.

Beautiful Doug - thanks for sharing. I agree. I love my T206 mostly raw.

Doug, amazing cards!! Hopefully one day I'll be as fortunate!! And I agree, I love my raw cards too! I love to feel them and smell them. It's kind of a sick relationship
