Crossing CJ 15s

[GregMitch34]

I know there have been posts about this in past but I have a specific question at t he higher end: Does anyone have experience trying to cross a CJ 15 SGC 88 to a PSA 8? I have one that looks for all the world like an SGC 9 but I know PSA seems tougher on high end CJs. I don't want to waste my time but the card would be worth literally twice as much as a PSA 8.......

In an related sphere, there was a very nice PSA 8 Merkle (none higher) in this week's Goodwin that went for what I considered a "low" price. I was scared away a bit by the tilted cut (it was basically centered but with pretty strong tilt) and maybe others were, too. Is that indeed a good reason for cut in value?

I don't know much about the high end CJ market or crossing high grade cards. As to your second question though off center and tilted cards in general have taken a hit, and collectors have been paying big premiums for centered cards. At least on the auctions I have watched. It seems the more expensive the card the more this is true.

If you submit it enough it will probably get the grade you want. I have heard it works fairly well.

You mean submit more than once?

Crack and submit over and over and over. Eventually they will give you the grade you want. I hear it's an industry in and of itself.

That's what the coin industry turned into 15 years ago. Some high dollar coins get submitted 20-30-40 times for a 1 point bump.

They even have consulting services to evaluate collections for upgrades.

Not to mention, auction houses will also evaluate high dollar coins and have consigners resubmit to maximize profits for everyone.

Yes it is a PSA thing. Doesn't work with SGC because they are too consistent with their grades.

Leon, are you saying that if you submit in the SGC case without cracking it out there is no chance they will match it?
