I very much agree with this post Barry. Here are my personal perceptions from dealing with graded cards for about 2 and a half years. I am curious to see what more experienced collectors think.
PSA- like the registry, and the .5 scale. I think that PSA's grading is very lenient on T206 Cobb cards. I haven't formed an opinion with SGC's grading of Cobb cards for now.
SGC- grading seems to be conservative which is a good thing... I think that SGC is too lenient with centering and should utilize a system similar to PSA on cards with marks, or paper loss... Unless I am missing things, SGC needs a data base registry for individual cards on their site ASAP! The lack of an easily accessible card registry by SGC really annoys me!!!!! Love SGC's holders!
Beckett- like the registry and the holder... The grading and their scale is way too inconsistent for me...
Regardless of grading company, I look at the card first and then the grade before making a purchasing decision.
