My experience has been just the opposite with respect to PSA -> SGC crossovers. Some of my best PSA 4s have become SGC 60s. I never crack them out for just the reason you are experiencing in this case.

PSA and SGC grade caramels very differently, in my opinion. I suspect the PSA grader saw something like minor chipping or paper loss that the SGC folks recognize is typical of E92s and don't treat as strictly.

I always review 2-3 times in the current holder before cracking. When stuff like this happens cost still ends up being roughly the same.

If you call up or e-mail PSA they won't give you an explanation on why the card didn't cross or why it got a 2. I've tried numerous times and they keep telling me that's now how they do business.

Bummer...definitely a head scratcher to me?! PSA just wants more of your money...that's all!

I don't think there was any damaged caused in transit or cracking. In my experience PSA is very strict on diamond cut/miscut cards, while SGC seems very lenient. I agree it isn't a "2", but I'm not surprised PSA docked you a couple points for it. I had an E92 with a similar cut get rejected by PSA 3 times before they eventually slabbed it.

It's a crap shoot.

Sounds like you should just resubmit the card a few times.

Pretty much!!! If you're going to participate in the "game"...what choice do you have but to keep playing!

Thanks guys! I agree totally. I hate to fudge up the pop reports, but I guess I will continue to play the game

You crack the card out of one holder and then state that you hate to fudge up the pop reports. Can you spell hypocrisy? Have you told the guy with the SGC 40 Wagner that your SGC 50 copy no longer exists? I doubt it.

Don't make Frank mad...you won't like Frank when he's mad!

[Don't make Frank mad...you won't like Frank when he's mad!r exists and ask if they would make the correct update. To me that seems more than fair, but I may be wrong.

Just resubmit it will probably come back a 5.
