Ever hear of Sports Collectors Digest Grading?

Been going through my '68 and '69 cards and came across 3 cards from '68 graded by Sports Collectors Digest. Here are the scans. These ok? Should I crossover?

Also, is that an old cert on the PSA Ryan rookie?

They were fairly accurate when the company first started. Then they got bought out, and the new company wasn't so good.

Thanks for the info

That 7 on Ryan looks low.

SCD red is great, no red run away!

I have had good success crossing the SCD red to PSA. As was mentioned blue is the new company and not so good. SCD red was particularly tough on back centering.

They seem to grade centering real harshly. I was super happy when I picked this up for less than PSA, BVG, or SGC 6's were selling for at the time:

Thanks everyone, so should I crossover or leave it at it is?

I would trust your own eyes more than if the SCD label is red or blue.

Under both colored labels you'll find trimmed cards.

Example: I purchased the below 'red' label SCD graded cards 10+ years ago thru an ebay auction.
They were pretty cheap so I thought I would test their grading skills out. Result - All of these cards were trimmed
on at least one edge, some on two edges. I spoke with the guy in charge of SCD's grading at the time at a Chicago
card show, and he didn't have a clue about grading. Lesson learned. I've kept all these trimmed cards as examples.

So my advice would be to only buy them at your own risk and don't overpay for a SCD graded card whether it's a
red or blue label because the color of the label just doesn't matter.

After reading these posts, I know it's an old post
but should I cross this over to BVG or PSA or is this a good fit, sort to speak. Lol
