Anyone regrade? or Swap companies? Break open and resubmit?

Can you resubmit to PSA in a PSA holder asking only to bump the grade but not lower?

Maybe. But I won’t. Getting screwed once is enough. I don’t need to pay another $500+ and wait 4 months for them to reaffirm their shitty decision.

When I decided to finish my t205 set, I decided to only buy graded and PSA/SGC 5 or 6. I sent off all my cards that I bought in the 80s so everything would be uniform. Some were borderline cards but I got about 10 4s that were as nice as Ryan's Cobb. For a couple years I tried to upgrade, but everytime I found a 5 it was in worse condition than my 4 so I have pretty much given up and will just settle for a set of average grade 5+.

Greetings. I just posted my monthly blog on this subject this morning. You can check it out at www.markearzoumanian.com if you want. It's detailed but will shine light on recent, real world experience.
Peace.

As has been previously stated ...crack it out first. That said in my experience SCG to PSA is a min half grade lower or worse. Old BVG averages a grade higher (I have had two grades higher.....they were way too tough back then). The only problem is you need a safecracking degree to get those BVG's out of the case lol.

A few years ago, I tried to cross over ten SGC 96 cards to PSA 9. All were high end HOF, many were one of one. I left them in the SGC holder since I was concerned some would be rejected and come back raw. Only two crossed-over. The other eight were returned as insufficient to satisfy the grade. I sold the ones that did not cross over on PWCC (boo!) and got less than half of what I estimated as the PSA price. The lesson I took away is the same as some of the previous posts: if you want to mess with crossovers, crack them out first.

I just purchased a 48-49 Leaf J Robinson in a BVG 3 holder and I’m considering crossing it over to PSA. If I do so, I will be submitting it raw. In my case, I’d likely be getting a lower grade, so I’m not sure it’s worth it beyond ditching my BVG slab. If you do so, good luck
