Default To Cross or not to cross, that is the question.

Posted By: Dean H

Ok, here is my situation. I have a T206 Matty Black Cap GAI5 that I want to get into an SGC holder. The problem is I tried to cross it at the National last year and it would not cross due to a couple light surface wrinkles. I declined to have the card crossed at a lower grade but now I kind of wish I had. I have no intentions of selling it but I did not want to hurt the value if for some unforseen reason I had to sell it. Maybe I'm kind of crazy wanting it in an SGC holder but I think they present so much better in their holders. It's not grossly overgraded, actually it was originally a PSA 5 that I crossed over to GAI a couple years ago myself, so realistically it's a very high end 50/4. Since I'm perfectly happy with the card should I be concerned about losing any future value in lowering the grade? Would anybody else consider taking the value hit and cross the card to a lower grade? Thanks for your thoughts and opinions.

Dean
