Sports Collectors Digest Grading Question

[aro13]

A little late to the game on this one but I thought I would mention that I had great success when I crossed over my SCD red labels to PSA. They graded very well in my opinion and were particularly harsh on back centering on some of the cards I had.

I also had success with the Red Label SCD on cracking out and submitting to either PSA or SGC. Usually the same or a little higher. Also tried a couple of the newer Blue and found trimmed cards. Stopped that quick..........

Great cards Mike, whatever the holder

The Net54 forum has been very educational, and I appreciate everyone's thoughtful comments. This particular thread, for instance, helped me enormously! I don't usually buy slabbed cards -- only when I'm desperate for a particular card -- but now I know that the old red-labeled SCD slabs are reliable. And it's true what others have already said -- the SCD graders were very conservative in their numbers. I recently picked up a couple cards on eBay that were red-SCD slabbed (only after reading this thread), and I have NOT been disappointed at all! In fact, I would even say that if I were to have the cards reslabbed (which I'm not), they'd get AT LEAST the same grade from PSA, if not higher. And I can say this because I've bought my share of PSA-slabbed cards as well. So again, thanks to all!
