I don't think they are; I know they are. I have been buying only new SGC slabs recently and they are all under graded compared to PSA and SGC a year ago. They are consistent on how they grade now and that is a full grade lower than PSA in most instances. Where they even out with PSA is the 1 to 3 grades.

In the past SGC graded more on centering and eye-appeal. Now they are brutal on corners and surface for vintage. I am absolutely fine with it. I am buying SGC slabs from people on eBay and from forums for less than the same grade as PSA and I am getting a better card inside. Win, win!
