Crossover Issue

[dancollins]

I was furious this morning and I am glad I posted because some of these posts were so comical they actually put me in a good mood!!!


The funny thing is that if I would have sent 105 T207's to PSA that were in SGC holders for crossover and the same result happened I guarantee many of these posts would be much different. People would be saying see I told you PSA sucks... Here is my real opinion I think SGC and PSA both suck. Unfortunately for our hobby cards are worth more in the holders. Some posters are saying well who cares what they are graded they are the same great cards. That is a line of crap, whether you want to admit it or not collecting these cards are also an investment with the money they cost, so in an industry dominated by "grading" it absolutely matters. I used to be 100% anti grading.

And I used to be 100% pro PSA. You can probably do some archival searches on here from a 6 or 7 years ago where I was trumpeting the virtues of PSA. But then I learned the differences between the two companies and how they saw T206 cards and I had my whole collection crossed over to SGC -- with eyes wide open.

Probably because you owned CLCT stock.

Jeff- that D304 Martens Hal Chase isn't even close to a 3. It's not even a nice 2. But it's a beautiful 1!

Joe- that N172 Brouthers looks more like a 6.

No question Dan that the hobby lives and dies by grading. Too bad it evolved that way, but that's the way it is.
