Crossing over results
I started a thread awhile back asking about current success rates (guessing) on SGC to PSA as I was about to try my first, so thought I would mention the results in case it is informative. Of course, I had been warned to expect little or NO success---especially with the cards still in their holders--but of course some people I imagine submit real long shots and others try not to.
Anyway, I was 3 for 8. But in every case I was looking only for a straight cross, not a bump--and one 5.5 t206 HOF I was willing to accept a 5 and did not get. I did get a t206 5 and a 5.5. that crossed and a 4.5 CJ 14. Others--all strong candidates, I thought-- failed, even with great centering helping out. Make of it what you will.

Did you crack out or submit the crossover within the SGC holder?

I am 2-for-6 crossing holdered SGC to PSA at same grade. Have never gotten a bump.
I cracked and submitted to PSA two of the SGC cards that PSA wouldn't cross at same grade and (surprise, surprise) they both graded -- one at same grade and one with a half-point bump. I have come to the conclusion that the PSA crossover service is, how do I put it politely, an unwise expenditure. NOTE: I should say that I thought the six SGC holdered cards I submitted to PSA for cross were all good candidates for a same-grade cross -- I wouldn't say that about all of my SGC cards.

I tried twice without cracking, a bvg 7.5 68 ryan, tried to cross to a psa 7, no luck, and an sgc 4, tried for a psa 4. I did not crack either beforehand. 0 for 2 if you're keeping score.

In my very limited experience, you need to bust them out. It almost a "they said this, what do you say" thing.

I agree. Also, the PSA grader is probably instructed to be hyper-convinced the card will meet their grading criteria before busting the card out of the non-PSA holder. Not great for the customer, although crossover attempt may still make sense in certain cases e.g. card is of such high value that crack-and-submit is a too big of a risk to take.

Exactly what I said. Always bust it out.

A couple months ago I submitted two SGC graded 1954 Red Heart cards to PSA for crossover. Both crossed to the same grade, an 8 and a 9.
