Default A mix
I have a Roberto Clemente master registry set that is all PSA (except a 1957 Salesman sample panel that I have no interest in crossing for a PSA A instead of an SGC A)
The rest of my collection is a mix of PSA and SGC and raw. Lower value cards I will usually get raw. "Keys" I will generally get graded. PSA or SGC for prewar and mostly PSA for post war (with some exceptions).

I am actively buying and selling vintage sports cards graded and raw. Feedback as a buyer: https://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=297262

I am accepting select private consignments of quality vintage cards (raw or graded) and collecting "want" lists for higher end ($1K+) vintage cards.

I've only flirted with graded cards in the past, and have popped more than I can count through the years. Like many here, I'm a binder raw type collector guy. I do however have a new interest in grading my 50's stars...52-56, only the oversized. Have had fun submitting. I have around 50 graded now, all SGC. I do have a couple of PSA's laying around but will either pop those or sell/trade them. Can't stand PSA's cheap looking slabs. Definitely an OCD type collector, all MUST be the same and SGC is my choice.

But to answer the question...yes, one company only here. Love the tuxedo...and not for resale value, could care less.

Open door policy for me. Bring 'em all in, as I'm fine with any and all TPG slabs. Of course, if I'm purchasing, the prices have to be in line with the respective differences in value for the big 3 or 4 TPGs.

I really like this approach for the value it allows when going outside of PSA, or SGC after the mid sixties. How do you organize your collection with all the different slabs?

I have also been submitting some of my own and only to SGC due to the cost. The tux has really grown on me. Now I am in a bind because some of the raw cards I have submitted to SGC I don’t want to get rid of. I’ve made some nice pickups of PSA’s that I don’t want to trade or sell. But my OCD is really acting up on the different slabs. Lol

Here is another piece of the puzzle for me. I do like buying raw occasionally also. That adds another element. Wondering if I just want to buy graded from one company so everything is the same. But then that excludes the raw stuff which I don’t want to do either. Lol
