1) The people driving the markets are not collectors. PSA cards are a deeper and more active market, so it is self-affirming feedback loop.
2) the registry. this really matters.
3) the general population of card buyers is not well-educated. Not a lot of research/effort is done. How many people understand that the grading scales have changed? not many. People pay the price of today's "4s" for any slab with a "4" on it not realizing the card would grade a 3 and maybe a 2 today. I see it everyday.
but yes. from a pure grading / quality standpoint there is no difference between PSA and SGC. I don't think any other grader is their league.
