    Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

    Nice job. I watched that card but having only succeeded in crossing over one stand up I passed on the auction. Hopefully you have a PSA 7 Santo to sell me....

    I'm amazed that they actually crossed a card IN a case!! Was '8' your minimum grade, or did you put something lower? Maybe they are trying not to be so rigid, to get rid of the money vacuum stigma that has been associated with crossovers....

    ..as a note, I am like 0-20 on crossovers. You can't tell me that SGC is so bad of a grader that they can't get at least ONE grade right out of a small sampling of 20!!! These were all same grade crossovers...

    I have tried 3 crossovers and have left all 3 in the actual case from SGC and am now 2 for 3. I did put a minimum grade of an 8 on the form in case it would not cross. I successfully crossed a 61 topps santo from and SGC 96 to a PSA 9.

    Thanks guys

    I was 11 for 15 on my most recent crossover attempt, including a 59 Aparicio A.S. All were submitted in the holder with a minimum grade of PSA 8, except for one with no minimum.

    Were any of the cards you crossed high dollar cards? I think therein might be the problem for me - they are OK to do it, as long as it is not a high valued card?

    My Santo rookie is a high dollar card to me. The last several have sold between 800 to 1200 in a PSA 9.


    "I was 11 for 15 on my most recent crossover attempt, including a 59 Aparicio A.S. All were submitted in the holder with a minimum grade of PSA 8, except for one with no minimum."

    Congrats on that submission
