Does anyone know what a PSA 8 OC card would generally grade in a SGC Holder? I Am thinking in the 80?

    I think of SGC 86's as like 8 oc's.

    Before you attempt a x-over to SGC . . . I did this recently w/ a vintage 8 o/c. All the attributes of a straight 8, but centering was 85-15 T-B. Thot it would pull at least 80, which was my mg. Came back as, "did not meet mg," which means SGC saw it as no better than a 70 - - a 4 grade drop!! This upset me, since SGC is super liberal on centering, as opposed to PSA. So, I'll be popping it and re-subbing it raw to PSA with a NQ request. I think you do better breaking them and submitting as raw.

    depends, the sets I've collected SGC is a little easier on centering than PSA and much more than BGS, you might get surprised, def crack and sub though...

    Going from PSA 8 OC to SGC 70 isn't a "4 grade drop." Given the qualifier, you're looking at a starting point of PSA 6 most often (without a qualifier). Hence it was more like a PSA 6 to and SGC 5. A 1 grade drop, not 4...

    "Going from PSA 8 OC to SGC 70..."

    Looks like a 62 pt. raise to me....image (Just saying I am here).
    Collecting PSA graded Steve Young, Marcus Allen, Bret Saberhagen and 1980s Topps Cards.
    Raw: Tony Gonzalez (low #'d cards, and especially 1/1's) and Steve Young.

    it really depends on how off center it is.

    For example, on the flip side, I recently crossed over a card from SGC 40 to PSA 9 MC. It all depends on how off the centering is.

    I am actively buying MIKE SCHMIDT gem mint baseball cards. Also looking for any 19th century cabinets of Philadephia Nationals. Please PM with additional details.

    FWIW, I did that experiment a couple of years ago and 2 8OCs (both cracked out) went to an SGC-70 (5.5) and an SGC-80 (6). So, I'd agree that it really depends on how OC the cards are.

    I was told on a red man card I had - 1955 Jackie Jenson Psa 8 OC - would cross to Sgc 80. I decided to not bother and look for another.

    Agreed with those that say it depends on the card.
