So that's about a 2:5 ratio for SGC to PSA on ebay now -- and, as I alluded to earlier, that takes into account the fact that PSA has been at the grading thing much longer and would expect to have a larger market share of the current universe of cards. Based on the current numbers, SGC has to be gaining on PSA. I'd say SGC is doing a very good job of catching up and, if you looked at what both companies were grading now, I'd be interested in hearing about whether collectors are sending more pre-war cards to PSA or SGC.
Again, PSA has definitely graded about a billion 1985 Topps Mark McGwire cards and 1987 Fleer Barry Bonds cards and 1986-87 Fleer Jordan rookies. It's not likely you'll find any stupid mistakes there. Where PSA flubs at a much higher rate than SGC is in the pre-war market -- what we on this board collect. As such, you have to remove the glossy easy to grade stuff from this analysis to get anywhere.
