 I have a PSA 4 T205 Shulte pied 42 with 4 pin holes in it. One in each corner.  An SGC 1 tops and I am fine with that. It would be accuratly graded then.
 
 About 6 yrs ago I drove to whicita ks to buy a collection of new and vintage. He produced an unopened pack of 57 topps that I had him throw in to seal the deal.  I busted the pack and pulled a Clemente that was mint.  I sent it to sgc and it came back a 5.  I resubmitted it for review thinking there is no way it is that and they put it in a graded bag and circled the upper left corner on the back where there was a slight spider crease or what I thought was a flaw in the cardstock.  I sold the card for decent money though.  What got me was the dealer that bought it submitted it to PSA and it now resides in a PSA 9 slab is what he told me. So how's that right?   I could have did that also but would have felt like a thief had I sold it for 9 money.  So if you sleep better at night using PSA over SGC that is fine but for me I prefer consistancy and integrity.  I buy the card and not the holder anyways.  Took me a while to learn but it was an easy choice after I learned my cards.
