Thanks for your opinion Jim. I feel that if SGC, BVG and PSA are the backbone of the card grading industry (and they are) that the grades given by these companies should be fairly close to each other. I can understand competetion between the grading companies, however, I believe that 75%-80% of the cards should crossover between these companies (not 50%). I do not like cracking cards out of cases - I would expect that a professional grading compny values my business and would treat me fairly regardless of whether or not cards I submit are in holders other than theirs. You would think they are happy to have the cards in their holders. I find it hard to believe that there is such a discrepancy in grades of the top 3 card grading companies. PSA should be crossing over more than 50% of SGC and BVG cards or else they are saying those companies grading standards are inferior to theirs and that is what it seems they are saying. I do not agree with this.
