Building a Set... Which Way to Cross?

[cozmokramer]

So I have the following mix of PSA & SGC cards, what should I do...

Send all to SGC, PSA or leave them as is... AND WHY?

I say PSA, to me those look brighter in the all clear slab. I hate the crinkly crap in the Young slab though. Nice cards!!

I'd leave it as is. These are rare cards so I doubt there'd be a premium going to either TPG. Unless there's a pinhole that I'm not seeing in the T216 Wagner 2b, I would look into possibly flipping that card to SGC (or cracking out and re-submitting to PSA). That card looks undergraded.

leave them in the holders they are in and spend the extra coin on more cards.

nice cards Eric....

Jim,

The crossover cost isn't that much. I'm thinking that I'd like to be able to add them to a registry somewhere as I work on the set.

I've actually got quite a few more that are raw that will need to go to the grader that the others cross over to.

Great subject here with results that actually surprised me!
Certainly, I just love cards and I like certain graded holders for certain issues.
Most of my cards that are graded are PSA and the balance SGC.
The clear holder from PSA looks better in most cards I have.
My big issue with graded cards is that i want a holder that fits the card well.
I had a nice E95 Wagner in a PSA holder and the card was floating around.
It bothered me to the point of trading it off for one that fit better!
Have you encountered this situation?

I would leave them as is. If you want to have them all the same tpg for display purposes, then the choice is yours as you are the one who will be looking at them.

Bill - yes PSA used to do this all the time before they had holder of all sizes. I've had people submit these poorly encased cards back to PSA and they will reholder them in a proper fitting case at no charge if you contact them first.
