Maybe you will find this thread useful on the topic of cross grading. This was discussing BGS to PSA but I think the sentiments overall regarding cross grading can be similar. > [@1st Ed zard BGS 9 crossover to PSA 9](https://www.elitefourum.com/t/1st-ed-zard-bgs-9-crossover-to-psa-9/44973): > > Hi all, This question has been asked before but it’s been a few years. I’m potentially looking at crossing my Quad BGS 9 1st Ed zard to a PSA 9. I’m looking at using the cross over service as I’m not interested in cracking the slab. Should I select a lower service level and then just pay the upcharges if it is accepted as a PSA 9? Or do they upcharge the service level regardless if it crosses or not. Would also be open to hearing people’s experiences with the crossover service, particular whe… Cheers! ---

If you cherry pick the very best ones you’ll be fine. Grading is too random to give you any generalized results. ---

He finally cracked the CGC 9 then resent to CGC and now its a CGC 7.5. Crossgrading is a gamble ---
