Great reveal dude! I find that SGC takes “eye appeal” into account more than picking apart every tiny flaw. And in my experience, they are more consistent with this. PSA will be all over the map, but the once you figure out SGC, they are pretty consistent in my experience.

@matthewgreeley30993 ай бұрын
I will make the unpopular comment . SGC overgrades modern and ultra modern by at least a grade and i know in previous videos you stated 1 to 1.5 higher grades. This video sure proved it. With the flaws you stated on the cards and what you said most should get as a grade also proves it. So PSA grades accurate with these flaws (people complain they are harsh) and SGC overlooks flaws and overgrades giving better grades (people look the other way and say "ill take it"). This for sure doesnt help grading and the hobby. Ive noticed the over grading on vintage as well. Ive been seeing too many videos like this with too many obvious overgrades coming from SGC lately. This is exactly why PSA still carries a premium for like grades. Like I said this will be an unpopular comment from me but one of your last statements even backs me up that you "had a feeling they'd be SGC over grades." As always I enjoyed the content.
@littlevictoriessportscards1973 ай бұрын
Definitely why PSA still carries a premium. I’m not trying to knock SGC by making these videos…I’m simply just stating my observations 👍 SGC does grade modern-ultramodern easier than PSA. Especially on the cards with great eye appeal but harder to see flaws. I appreciate SGC’s consistency but I’d try to fall somewhere in-between how they grade now and PSA strict 👍 That’s kinda what I mentioned at the end of the video. I did say, I had a feeling SGC would overgrade, but I also said that PSA undergraded. I believe the true grade for most of these cards were perfectly in between how each company graded them. Thanks for the comment and watching 🙌

I also have to say -- I am uncomfortable when I get a card that is overgraded...I feel guilty passing along an overgraded card to someone who pays for the grade/card. Even if I keep a card in my collection, I can't help but notice a small dinged corner that is in a 10 holder, no matter what company gave the grade. Some of the cards in this order I wouldn't even submit with the issues that they have. I pretty much only submit cards to PSA that I think are a 9 at worst, unless they have a lot of value in an 8 or 7 holder.

I’ve crossed over SGC 9.5’s & 10s to PSA 10s but also gotten PSA 8’s on SGC 10s. You gotta use your own eyes & not make assumptions. I think both companies have their merits, but SGC is much more forgiving on ultramodern/modern. I’ve cracked out SGC 9.5’s & 10’s that are so flawed I don’t even bother sending them to PSA. This is obviously a generality, both companies undergrade & overgrade cards. I just think it’s funny when people make comments on my videos saying PSA hands out 10’s like candy because it’s patently false. Each company has its own parameters & intricacies & you learn them w/ experience. Great stuff as always!

Its well known that PSA is more strict on surface while SGC is more strict on centering. Plus SGC takes into account eye appeal more than any other major company.

I've been cracking a lot of PSA 9 type cards that I get for around raw value and grading at SGC and find mostly the same results. One or two did get a downgrade, but most get a bump. PSA also certainly has their overgraded cards, you just never see anyone cracking those because of the value bump. Finally, with the Berry, I have graded a decent number of Frank Robinson autos from the late 90s and early 2000s and those always seem to get a 9 hung on them, so 9.5 cerainly is a nice grade.

Great results! This is a great example of PSA not understanding certain sets and card types. That's also a good example of how forgiving SGC can be on modern-ultramodern. Great way to figure out what goes where for grading if you have a good relationship with both. I still think SGC's grades are more realistic overall. Nice Billups, I just graded 2 of the same Preview Refractor and 1 Atomic. I believe they were all 10's but they were also pack-pulled. Chauncey is officially in the Hall now and so is Walter Davis, Vince Carter and Michael Cooper if I read correctly. (don't know when you filmed) Also - I've opened tons of 06-10 Contenders and the edges are always pushed up just like 2016-2020 Topps Rainbow parallels.

So the two grade revealers on youtube I trust most to get it right are you and eliteco3...it seems like from time to time you both will get those PSA returns where you are like "no, that is not right, it should be a 9 (or 8 or whatever)" so you send them to SGC and you get the grade you thought it should have gotten (or closer to your prediction). This is exactly why I believe SGC is the more accurate grader. They also focus on eye appeal more so those dimpled (especially on the back) are never going to get knocked as hard by SGC. Quick question for you...have you ever submitted oversized cards to either PSA or SGC? Like 3 x 5 box topper sized?
