What TPG do you use for your personal collection?
Just wanting to get a sense of people's preferences. What TPG do you prefer to use on the cards that go into your personal, long-term collection of vintage, pre-war baseball cards? Interested to see the results. Thanks.

I prefer SGC for pre-war and PSA for post-war.
|
|
Why do you only have to use one? I have used all three.
|
It depends. With post WW1, or if I'm building a full set, I prefer PSA, just because of the Registry aspect. For single, pre-WW1 cards, I'll get both PSA and SGC.
I only have less than 10 Beckett-graded cards, and they are all modern, post 2000 issues. Steve |
PSA and SGC
For one reason and one reason only, ease of liquidation with the best chance of appreciation. |
Whatever slab the card comes in and I'll use whatever service is accepting onsite submissions for whatever show I'm at.
|
PSA or SGC. Which ever one the card is in. PSA for value , SGC for aesthetics. And please no insulting, but the occasional deal can be found with BVG.
|
PSA for some sets, SGC for others. Unlike some collectors, I don't ever decide this based on projected future resale value.
|
I don't really have a preference anymore. The few I've sent in myself were to SGC, but I have cards in four different slabs, five if you count modern.
Lately I'm neither happy about how hopeless they seem, and at the current crazy prices for grading. |
I have only submitted to SGC so it may be a biased preference. Not sure I will be submitting anymore other than possibly fourteen cards if I end up picking them up raw in the future to finish graded sets.
|
I voted none because I don't really care to use any of them and have been replacing my slabbed postwar cards with raw ones.
|
I voted raw because I like being able to handle the cards, and it's easier to store them in a binder than in slabs.

What.... No GAI, KSA or CSG? (Who determined that all TPGs had to have 3-initial names, anyway?)
The SCD and SGC examples present the best IMHO, with the black framing. Much more attractive than PSA and Beckett. |
