in PSA Set Registry Forum
I am fairly new to the PSA Set Registry as well as the message board, but not new to PSA collecting. I've been collecting NFL HOF RC's for the past 3 or 4 years, and all that I purchased were not PSA. Since finally finding the Set Registry and this board, I have begun the process of upgrading all of my NON-PSA cards to PSA by popping and re-submitting to PSA.

So far I have received approx. 9 "popped" cards back from PSA with about 10-15 more going in with my next shipment. From my experience, here is what I have learned.

BGS cards have graded higher from PSA. (i.e. two BGS 7.5 cards I sent in both received a grade of PSA 8)*.
SGC cards are VERY close to PSA in grading. So far I have received the exact same grade 4 out of 5 cards with PSA, one grading lower as an (OC).
PGS, I sent in one card a PGS 8 and received a PSA 8.
FGS, I sent in one card that was FGS 10 and it received a PSA 7!

I have yet to buy a PRO, I have one CTA that is graded CTA 8, but will likely get a 6 or 7 from PSA.

I think it would be VERY helpful to guys like me if some of you Board Vets could post your opinions on what is worth buying and re-submitting, and what is not. Finding some of the HOF RCs I need is tough, and I haven't had much luck buying ungraded cards from ebay.

Bottom Line is, what other Grading Companies can we trust to buy and re-submit to PSA?

Thanks in Advance,

    Check out the sports card and memorabilia forum,look for thread entitled"your input needed Gai and BCCG"

    Please be kind to me. Even though I'm now a former postal employee, I'm still capable of snapping at any time.

    I think the best advice would be to buy the PSA card initially and save the headaches of popping and resubmitting. I don't think there is that much differece in price when you factor everything in.

    Before you buy Pro you may want to look at the thread by Aaronman it may influence you a little.

    Anyway welcome to the board and I hope to see your posts again.

    I checked out the thread in the "Sports Card and Memorabilia" Forum. Very good info, much of what I expected. Tuned me into GAI though, I've never purchased any of those, but if I can get cards at a discount to get re-graded by PSA, hey, great deal.

    Comments are much appreciated, I hope to be a fixture of the message board and set registry.
