Grades in ! Crossovers okay

I just got notice of my grades from the recent set registry special. Overall am reasonably pleased and feel some collectors may find my crossovers from other companies a bit interesting.
I submitted 72 cards total and 22 were "broken out" from other graders' slabs. These 22 were all in two years / sets I have on the registry, Topps Baseball 1973 and 1979.
Rather than bore some more than I may have already done, I'll list the basic detail only;
1979s, SGC (4) 2 same, 2 down, PGS (not PRO) (2) 1 same, 1 down
1973s, SGC (12) 2 same, 7 down, 3 up, GAI (3) 1 same, 1 down, 1 up, CSA (1) 1 same
Total: PSA gave a better grade 4 times, the same grade 7 times, and a lesser grade 11 times.
No card changed more than one full grade point, the four ups were a 7.5 and 3 8.5s, going to the next full number at PSA.
Nothing exceptional or drastic, of the four other companies grades given, they seem somewhat comparable to PSA, perhaps a bit overgraded in general. The sample was quite small and certainly does not prove anything, but might be interesting to some.

I said this on another thread. It can go either way sometimes. I have had great success getting upgrades for centered SGC 92's to PSA 9's. I've also had SGC 92's that were a little offcenter go to PSA 7's.

The cards were broken out of the slabs by me ( my wife actually ) and then put in penny sleeves and CardSaver 1 holders, then sent to PSA who could not know if they were ever graded by someone else before.
I feel it would be tough for most cards to be "upgraded" if left in the original slab. However there are prior posts of some instances where it does happen.
