Default Collectors, does it matter who grades your cards?

Posted By: Mark Holt

While I think SGC has the best holder and grade the most conservatively I am putting my t206s in PSA holders at a rate of about 10 a month.

Why?
1. There are way more PSA available on eBay where I get my monthly t206 fix. I just sent in some raw cards I bought a year ago on eBay and as I have become more knowledgeable my intent to buy only graded online has increased. I'm expecting at least three of my latest ten to get bounced back as ungradeable although the local card shop owner said they looked real and unaltered to him.
2. The Registry - my cards are registered and since my job requires travel a lot I can see them on the road. Plus its kind of fun to move up the list a little each month (with mostly 3s and 4s that will end soon).
3. I believe PSA will get the best resale for reasons 1 and 2 above. I don't intend to sell but I'm guessing my wife calls Mr. Mint before my toe is tagged someday.
