Re: Crackout Results... PSA to SGC
My SGC sub finally popped. Took longer than normal. 3 weeks ! LOL 5 cards were PSA crackouts. Here we go. 1) 95 Hoops Grant Hill exchange card. PSA7-->SGC10. Yup, I could not see how this got a PSA7. I though it had a real shot at a 10 and SGC agreed. 2) 89 TT Deion Sanders. PSA8-->SGC10. Another I thought had a real shot… -
Re: Crackout Results... PSA to SGC
I believe all of us are correct in our assessment with PSA. They are really tough right now, their service is not the same as before and other examples of PSA 1's don't look like this. If you look at it this way, a PSA 9 and a PSA 10 should be graded where you can't understand why the PSA 9 is not a PSA 10. From the naked… -

Re: Crackout Results... PSA to SGC
Unfortunately most collectors do not go by that mantra and the number grade rules. If you thought a vintage card you sent in to PSA was a 9 and it grades a 7 or an 8; or an 8 comes back a 5, etc. and you sell these cards say on Ebay you are basically going to be screwed. Most collectors will pay the price for the number… -
Re: Crackout Results... PSA to SGC
Grading standards for a 4 says a light crease can be visible. So an invisible crease shouldn't drop the grade below 4.5. Today, if a card starts at a 5 because of centering, for example, soft corners drops it to a 4. Edging issues drops it to a 3. Invisible wrinkle and it's now a 2. In the past the card would retain it's 5… -
Re: Crackout Results... PSA to SGC
While I will agree that PSA has become increasingly harder to work with and their grading of cards more strict, the examples of the Mantle cards shown above could be correctly graded. The 1968 Topps Mantle is a very nice looking PSA 1, but the corners are really damaged. The 1960 Topps Mantle has the best eye appeal of all… -
Re: Crackout Results... PSA to SGC
This thread may be off topic, but I have heard/read collectors/investors say they can not tell the difference between a PSA-9 and a PSA-10. I believe what pushes the needle on a PSA-9 to a PSA-10 is the color appeal and registration. Given a card has the centering and corners for a PSA-9…if the color aligns perfectly and…
