Am I concerned that the card is bad in an SGC holder? No more than any other grader.

Am I concerned that the card might not sell for as much in an SGC holder as a PSA holder? Depends on the card. I bought a 1933 Goudey Ruth in an SGC holder at auction; it sold for about the same as PSA cards in the same grade.

If I gave a rat's ass about the registry, sure, i'd want a PSA-graded card so I could wag my weenie with it. If I was looking to grade a registry-friendly card to sell to the registry weenie waggers, I'd send it to PSA.

If I had a Star Jordan RC to sell, I'd go PSA rather than SGC, Beckett or CGC; if I am looking to buy one I'd go with the non-PSA services and save myself some money, maybe let the auction house cross it over when I want to sell.
