I bought the sgcs because they obviously were more reasonable
There were 3 huge collectors out there at one time that would buy psa 8s and tried to cross to sgc...why...I don't know. But didn't have huge success in crossing...they would resell the psa 8s and try to find better ones to get crossed to sgc 88s and had success with high grade 8s
I guess they saw a lot of shenanigans w psa in the early days.
I knew all the cards I purchased, were once psa 8s
So I sent many of them in to get crossed and remember...they were all upper 8s in PSA holders
And had not one crossed back to psa..Not one.

With all due respect, as an experienced collector, you had to have known that trying to cross grade from one TPG to another the likelihood of all cards receiving the same grade was slim.

Regardless of the grade the cards previously received.

And trying to cross Pre-War 8's is something most of us wouldn't toy with. At best, you get the same grade. It's unlikely you bump to a 9, more likely you could drop in grades.

If you have Pre-War 8's, or had, you're flying in rare air. If you've got them, post them.

We would love to see them and certainly have great appreciation for them!
