Rule of Thumb, PSA vs. SGC Conversion Rate??

[bounce]

I generally value BVG at one grade down from the same PSA.

For SGC, I used to do the same one grade down but I'd say now I'm something higher than that - however it's still less than halfway to the difference.

Yeah, I guess my sort of mental calculation is around:

SGC: 85% of PSA
BVG: 70% of PSA

That's just to get an idea and can depend of other factors.

I am not familiar with the coupons. How does one get them and is there a cap on the purchase price they will give you 15 percent off on?

It only works in any time zone. Oh, and the cap is $100 in savings on this one.

It ends tonight, so check here for the info:

The cap is $100, so if you spend $666.67, you'll get the biggest discount possible. If you spend more than that, the discount will be stuck at $100.

SGC is 1/2 grade less, BVG a full grade assuming similar quality and centering for the grade. On higher end stuff the difference can be even more.

Exactly this. However, if the sgc is very well centered, I'll buy at the low range for psa grade (ie, a well centered sgc 7 to me is worth a cheap psa 7). I won't but bvg cards, as I am always worried they are sheet cut or are otherwise ungradable.

Lucio, on T206s alone, your percentages are too high, especially on high graded cards (7's and higher)....PSA 8 commons are $1650+, and SGC 88's are about half that, maybe a tad more....
