Mark, I think most people's perception is that Beckett is the best, then PSA, then others like KSA etc. However, I am sure you will get lots of different opinions. My problem with grading is that it is subjective to whomever is grading the card and how do I know the person doing it is an expert. What looks good to one person might be flawed to someone else. I have heard too many stories from people expecting big grades and not getting them and also the opposite I have seen slabbed "mint" 9.0/9.5 cards that have prints spots or other flaws which make me question how they got the grades with those flaws and no notation on the flaw.
As for the two cards already graded, I think leaving them in the encasement leaves a bias torwards what they were previously graded, however taking them out could go either way and you might end up with 7s rather than 9s, so that one is a tough call. Guess it depends on whether you want to risk getting better or worse grades.
I don't get cards graded so I am not an expert so this is just my opinions and experiences. I know redwing40 sent stuff in recently, so you might want to see what his opinion is of Beckett.

This is one of the better grades I have gotton back..... But one thing to make sure before you send any in, check them with a fine tooth comb, nic's on corners, edge's, surface, borders, look really hard to find anything wrong with them, one little thing will lower the grade, once slabbed, thats it, its marked! Goodluck!
