Probably!? These are shameful products of a professional grading company!

Also "...but IMO SGC makes slightly fewer (mistakes), making them my choice for the most part..."
perhaps you should consider that PSA is a much larger business and grades a great many more cards than SGC.

I took time to demonstrated extreme grading inconsistencies but they are condoned for bias reasons. Shame.


Perhaps some gross mistakes made by other grading companies could be shown here rather than the "oh yea" type comment - "the same things apply to PSA as well" - that is just too simple a reply. Show them!

Ok,

After I get done with the holidays and shopping and travel I'll have time to go through Ebay to find the boatload of PSA 5s and 4s with bad corners and even creases. Then save off pictures I don't really need, upload them and write some comments. I have a life, and I'm a bit busy, but when I get a chance I'll do that.

SGC makes mistakes, but the level of willful blindness I sometimes see in the PSA crowd is a good argument for TPG.

All the main companies make mistakes, probably at about the same rate. But as someone else pointed out PSA has done more cards overall, so their mistakes might seem more common.
