Depending on what happens to SGC over the next few months, I'm very likely to give CGC a try. I just wish CGC had a black-tux slab like SGC's. To me, SGC's tux slabs greatly increase the eye appeal of slabbed cards, especially the smaller pre-War cards and the black & white pre-War cards.
I have been friends with Andy Broome for the last 25'ish yrs. He is as honest as you and I are. He knows almost all cards will change hands. And in his CGC holders he wants accurate grades. Has he, and CGC, made mistakes? Of course, they are human. But he won't intentionally give a grade because of the submitter. I would bet my E90-1 Young in a 7 holder on it. Once they get more of a track record I might cross a lot of my cards over to their holders. I like to do business with honest companies. But that is just me. Right now, PSA brings all the money. For dealers, money is the only concern so I can't blame anyone for using PSA. I spoke to around 75+ dealers, and maybe 1 said they like PSA, other than the money aspect. And I am only saying 1 because there probably was 1, but I don't remember even 1.
