Crossovers

[ZiggerZagger]

Great thread -- I was just gonna ask a similar question to the board. I prefer to have PSA for my postwar slabs, and have a couple that I'd like to cross from SGC to PSA specifically. Would only try with cards that seem worthy.

My question is, can anyone estimate their success rate in crossover from SGC to PSA with reasonably worthy cards? 50% was said above, for example.

I don't have the guts to crack out cards with value above a few hundred dollars for fear they'll never get back into comparable holders. Below are two examples I'm entertaining for crossover.

The more real-world experience and comments from the board, the better. Thanks much in advance.

Maybe it's your scans, but I think the Jackie has a great shot of getting a 6 from PSA, while the Mantle might get EX due to the lower left corner wear (or shadow in picture?) along with the misregistration. It could very well get a 6 though. I would say both are worth trying on a straight crossover. But I'd probably do it at the National and if they don't cross on equal review, talk to the team and see what grade they would have crossed at.

My last crossover rate from SGC to PSA wasn't good, like 1 out of 5. Trust me, I only sent in cards I honestly thought pretty much locks. With all my years of collecting, studying, scrutinizing, I thought they would all make the cross. Heck if I know. G'luck, try not to blow too much money.

Don't Crack the Jack. Top border looks too mis cut or trimmed in the photo
