Cross overs to ponder

cspeier1

I sent in 4 cards to be crossed and have some interesting results to share:

1) 1989 Score Tony Dorsett BGS 9.5- PSA 9(I know but I needed it for the registry)
2) 1977 Steve Largent Rookie SGC 88- PSA 8
3) 1990 Score 101T Emmit Smith Rookie SGC 96- PSA 9
4) 1984 Topps Marino Rookie BGS 8.5- M/G(I had the M/G as a 9)

Looks as if SGC was on the money, and BGS may have been over graded.. Just something to ponder..

Did the Dorsett have a 9 grade for corners? I think PSA is tougher on those than anyone.

Isn't it possible that BGS had it "right" and PSA undergraded?

The sub for the corners was a 9... I thought about undergraded, then I forgot it.. I didn't want to think about that...

Wouldn't it have been a lot cheaper, easier or and made a lot more sense to just buy a PSA 9 89 Score dorsett? You probably could have bought 2 or 3 of them for the price of a BGS 9.5...

The other ones seemed to cross over well. I am going to have BGS look at 2 gai cards I have this weekend and pay the $7 to have them give me a "cross over" grade. One is an 86 Donruss The Rookies Bonds GAI 9.5 the other is a GAI 9 SP GU Carmelo Anthony Gold #/50. I am curious what BGS will say when they see them in the holders. I am going to crack the Melo for sure and send it to PSA, unless BGS calls either of them 9.5's, in which case they can crack and slab them for me.
I know, I know. Let the flaming begin.

Yes it would've. I had a PSA 9 purchased for $15.00, put got sniped.. I paid $9.95 shipped for the BGS 9.5.. I felt it was a good gamble for $10.00 and a shot at a PSA 10.. But, it didn't pan out that way.. Regardless I'd do it again in hopes of a equal cross.. Guess it's just my dumb luck..
