SGC crack ‘n sub to PSA results
 

Had this Julio SGC 9 that I just wanted to have in a PSA slab. All my previous SGC crack and subs to PSA has resulted in equal or lesser grades. I was fully expecting a 9, but was pleasantly surprised to see this when the grades popped today. It may have been a surface issue. I forgot to wipe the card with micro fiber cloth before I sent it in to SGC.

I remember that one! Do you think it surface issue…? Or just wildly differing opinions?

I don't sub to PSA but having subbed a lot to SGC, I have definitely just gotten a dubious grade here and there. This was my first attempt to rectify it but just cracking and resubbing.

Dimple on the back is all I could find. Had another 10 with one, too. Common on some BB'21 parallels.

I just cracked a SGC 10 to send in to PSA and found a fingernail type indention, so I won't be sending it in, ha. I probably should have looked it over closer before cracking. :doh:

Why does it look like a different card in the PSA slab?

You thought that too?!

I honestly had the same feeling when I saw it. My guess is because of the scan lighting? I can post a in-hand picture when it arrives.

Definitely the scan. I notice some types of cards just can't be scanned that well.

I thought my SGC7 Don Hutson (55 Topps) was successfully crossed over when it hit Assembly, but I was wrong.

I feel like cracking and submitting to PSA would be better, but I don't want to lose my SGC7 in case it doesn't work. I feel like there is 'pop control' because this was a beauty of a card.

Is Cracking and Subbing viewed differently than Crossing over?

Thanks

If you have a minimum grade set on the crossover at or above the current competitor’s grade it’s likely to fail a crossover (I’d say 1:8 or 1:10 would make it). And even if you do full crossover without minimums it’s highly dubious, I sent in 20 HGA slabs for crossover with PSA and all but one came back a lower grade (most PSA 8 or PSA 9)… cracked them all out and resubbed raw and all but 1 came back a PSA 10. PSA definitely thinks their 💩 doesn’t stink and has drastically different results with crossover vs subbing raw in my personal experiences.

PSA knows their slabs have been monetized so why cross the slabs of other companies so they can earn more?
