SO TO SUM IT UP.........3 went down 1/2 pt, 4 went up 1/2 point, one went down a full point, and 4 were equal. I'd say for the most part one could infer some equality here, although a small sampling.

I've had about 40-50 go the opposite way, from SGC to PSA via crack and submit. My results were pretty much the same, the majority went straight across, a decent amount went up a half or full grade, and a few dropped.
The ones that changed I would attribute to different emphasis on centering vs. corners. Overall I've found that both companies are amazingly consistant.

You got BCCG 8s to cross into 88s? That's really good since BCCG 8 is "Excellent or better." Maybe one of the BGS graders accidently sat at the BCCG table and did some grading.
