PSA vs SGC...the definitive Debate!!!

[glynparson]

Agree 100%. SGC has made similar errors. In fact Id bet on percentage of cards graded the numbers are extremelly accurate.

You may agree 100%, but you couldn't be any more wrong. Show me one SGC card with paper loss that is graded a 4 or higher. I can show you many PSA cards with paper loss that are graded a 4 or higher.

Isnt this just a case of personal preference and to argue this issue is a moot point?

I dont understand the need to have this type of thread once a year when in the end it is only a personal choice of which TPG we all like and use (or dont use as the case may be).

DO NOT DIMINISH THE VALUE OF THIS POLL...the results will be definitive and FINAL!!!!! After the poll is over...and the results tabulated...there will be no reason to ever...ever discuss 3PG'raders!!!!!

Please Cooperate!

Listen I worked there I saw buybacks come in all the time. You have no clue. particularly from the Joe Merkel era, they have many bad graded cards. I have seen the results you're just being a fanboy. There are many cards outside the centering standards, cards with writing, poorly trimmed cards with number grades, and yes they have even missed paper loss. I don't make it a point to collect scans so i don't have any, i collect cards. Trust me I personally like the guys at SGC much more than PSA but I don't think as a whole they've done any better than PSA despite the wishes and beliefs of some on this board. Just because Michael for years offered hand holding customer service, which many of you appreciated for good reason, does not make the graders any better. I have no more faith in Bob's abilities than anyones at PSA. I do think Scott is a better grader than anyone at PSA, including Reza, on a regular persons submission.
