Besides errors and negative issues, I still remain a loyal fan of PSA grading. |

I also still believe, overall, that PSA graded cards sell for more money than SGC, maybe not with all the collectors on 54, but typically on ebay, thats what i see take place |

I've always liked PSA and the product. We have them partially to thank (along with eBay) for revolutionizing the hobby, bringing people back to the hobby and inspiring folks to organize what they do with the hobby in new and different ways. |

PSA did cooperate with the Feds when WIWAG was breaking out cards from their holders and replacing them with inferior cards! |

Personally, I have no problem with PSA and generally have no preference between the 3, though I try to avoid GAI just because their labels are ugly. |

PSA's use of the condom holders which allow caramel cards to bang around the slab inspired SGC and GAI to develop custom fit holders. |

I sent 6 cards in to PSA for grading - using my vouchers for joining. Never sent anything to PSA before. They accidentally damaged one of my M101-5's - in the sealing process I think. I'm a factory rat for many years, so I certainly understand how this can happen. The card would have graded a 6 before damage, and graded a 4 afterwards. |

They need to get their act together on the wrong holders for certain cards. It should fit the card no matter what. If they are out of the holder they need to fit the card then get more. They are a multi million dollar company, please. You don't put a t206 in a 1995 topps holder!!!! |

Joann- Just curious, how did you establish that they were to blame for damaging the card? Did you send a scan of the card before shipment or did they contact you and 'fess up? |

I would like to see the data on the number of cards SGC and PSA grade each month in the prewar arena, not shiny, glossy, refracting stuff. I doubt that it is 5x as much, but more to your point, yes, I do beleive they make more than 5x the mistakes. |

I do give kudos to PSA for having a more user friendly web page than SGC. I still can't figure out SGC's search for pop reports. Everytime I type a players name, nothing shows up...they need to upgrade their site. |

There is no doubt in my mind that PSA is a sore eye for the hobby. I have conducted more than a three-year study of their company and how they work. I have only two questions to ask. I wold like to know how many people on this forum or perhaps you know that sent a card or cards to PSA to be graded and PSA said it was a fake? If so, what happened to your original card or cards that you sent to them? I believe that is a fair question to ask. |

I've only had limited dealings with PSA as I am an SGC dealer and send them all my submissions. But PSA was helpful and worked with me when I sent them two difficult CdV's that needed to be authenticated. I think they are a very big company with too many cards to grade and not enough time in the day to do it. As a result, they will be more prone to mistakes. Most of the label errors are silly and just look like the work of people who can't keep up with all the submissions. I know there are horror stories that others have but my dealings with them have been positive. |

I think PSA is dead on by using qualifiers, even though they are controversial and occasionally get negative press on this board. But they are a perfect way to provide a "but for" grade. People actually struggle with the lack of this on SGC and GAI grading. |

I've made a lot of great trades over the years with the registry types trading high grade common cards I purchased raw and had PSA slab for cards I really wanted. Kudos to PSA for starting that trend. |

If you're at all into the registry stuff or population reports, you surely realize quickly that PSA is superior to SGC. Just check out the SGC pop report on the 1958 Topps set; there is no accounting for yellow lettered varieties or the Herrera error card, probably the rarest post-WWII card in existence. |

....except not in the 1958 Topps set which does not distinguish between the yellow lettered variations and the Herrera error card, the rarest postwar card, period. Am I missing something here? |
