How accurate are the pop reports for SGC and PSA?

Yeah, it's the new holder a 35 (2.5) half-grade.

Hi Luke, to answer your original question - the pop reports aren't even close.

I know of several people who have said they will routinely crack cards out and resubmit them as many times as in necessary until they get the grade they desire. The scariest part is that it seemed to work in many cases.

For me, I use pop reports only as a very loose guideline, and the longer I have collected, the less and less I care about their relevance.

They are not accurate.

Since a lot of cards get resubmited to a different company say SGC to Psa that would make it less sgc cards that they say they have graded. In other words say 10 card of a card are graded by sgc 5 are broken out and sent to Psa for grading and they have 15 already that would give Psa 20 and sgc 5 but we will never know

I assume the numbers are going to be off because of cracking and re-submitting. That part makes sense, but missing a card that they graded in the last three months (I know this because it has the new flip) is pretty bad.

Since the new website started the search has been a bit odd. Your card is probably in the database, but might only get found by certain searches. So if you search by player it would be there, but searching by the back won't find it. A lot of searches I try turn up absolutely nothing, which I'm certain isn't right.

I miss the old one that had all T206s together. It was horribly slow between pages, but at least they were all in one list.
