I've been reading the other Board and it has become clear to me that PSA heads are spooked by GA. Spooked in a way that BGS or SGC can never spook them. People talk smack about Baker and Rocchi on the one hand, but on the other those guys were significant and pioneering figures at PSA -- and that is what has PSA heads spooked.
Everytime they see a GA holder, a heart skips a beat, a shred doubt infects. It's like on some instinctive level, they feel the heart and soul of PSA is now at GA. That must be a tough feeling if you have spent 1000's on PSA slabs.
For me, my hobby life is alot easier -- SGC just grades cards and does it better than anyone. I love their holder. They enjoy respect in the market place. I don't care if SGC is ever "#1." I just want SGC to continue their excellence in grading.

HELLO EVERYONE... I HAVE A LOADED QUESTION, HAS ANYONE EVER EXPERIENCED A CROSS OVER FROM BGS TO SGC.. I'M LIKE MOST ON THIS FORM, I LOVE THE SGC HOLDERS, THE SERVICE, (YOU CAN EVEN TALK TO A PERSON NOT A MACHINE). ON A RESALE AND VALUE ISSUE ONLY, HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT SENDING CROSS OVERS TO SGC..I HAVE A MONTANA ROOKIE BGS 8, A ELWAY AND MARINO ROOKIE BGS 8, AND A WALTER PAYTON BGS 7 (NOT A BVG) DO YOU THINK THEY'D GRADE
HIGHER?? THEY WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK 96'S TO BE WORTH MORE
MONEY... LIKE I'VE SAID, SGC' S MY FAVORITE, I'VE HAD OVER 30 CARDS
GRADED LAST MONTH, BUT I'VE NEVER HAD ONE RE-GRADED.. JUST LOOKING FOR SOME HELP----THANKS

Hi cspeier --
Welcome aboard.
There has been some discussion of cross-over grading in another thread. Check out: Crossing Over to SGC, What would be best off brand Grader??
Coincidentally, I am presently conducting my own cross-over grading experiment. Once concluded, I post results on the other thread.

I totally respect that man's stance. Myself, I only buy SGC, unless to plan at some point to cross over. I appreciate the brand loyalty. Still, I think "spooked" is the right word.

Aconte -- Do you mean "are not" instead of "are" ??

As I mentioned on that other forum. I collect PSA and SGC cards because it makes me feel comfortable. I also collect Beckett but have noticed that I haven't bought a BGS card in months. I get more value for my dollar with SGC. I won't buy GAI (whether to collect or crossover) because they don't make me feel comfortable.
