Where is the buzz around REA?

..What would PSA charge to look at an SGC card and tell the owner what the crossed grade would be ?? Would they even be able to do that at an overwhelmed National set-up ?

Maybe, might be best to have REA back door it for an opinion in exchange for a potential consignment.

Quick answer, Mike, is no. They wouldn't have the time.
My SGC 7.5 '52 Jackie Robinson is a real beauty that I am proud to own.
If I am BRUTALLY honest, my initial question on this subject reveals a bit of greed on my part, especially if you look at how the prices on the two '52 Robinsons in the current auction have gone over the past few days. I am still going to ask REA about the HUGE initial differential simply because it smells of preference, IMHO.

Ask Brian if he can get a pre grade opinion from PSA, if it crosses at 7.5 or even a 7 PSA you're in business and will be very happy. The more interesting question to me is what card you're going to buy with the money.
