There is no chance the sgc 5 goes for more than the psa 7. I would be shocked if it went for half as much. A nice dead centered 5 could bring close to what that 7 will though.

I like the colors better and the centering. PSA usually wins out with equally graded SGC's and I think if the SGC 5 was somehow another PSA 7, it would come in second.

I prefer the sgc...if I had to pick. I like the background blue color better on the first run too.

And why should we care about your opinion?

To me it looks like (to borrow the BGS criteria) the SGC card has better centering, edges, and surfaces, while the corners are about the same (SGC slightly better on the top, and PSA slightly better on the bottom).

The color on the PSA looks normal to me, the color on the SGC looks strange. Do they really vary that much?

I couldn't think of a better scan that shows a multiple of Mantle cards than this PSA one. Note, both print runs are shown from 10 gem mint down and the only one that looks anything like (imo) to the SGC copy is the Fair 1.5. Maybe the blue tint/hue card is a variation? https://www.psacard.com/resources/gr...andards/#cards

Yeah, I guess, based on these scans.

After seeing the SGC at the National, the color is normal. The difference is a lighting issue from the picture.

I don't know what you are seeing. SGC is slightly better centered, though badly off centered, but tilted. I would give them equivalent centering, the SGC better surface, though some here disagree with me. The PSA has better edges and much better corners. The PSA has sharp corners with a slight touch on lower right. The SGC has wear on all 4 and slight rounding on upper right and lower right.

It could be the scans, I am not sure, but it does have me wondering?

As far as I know variations A and B do not have different background colors.
