My experience with PSA cards is that the value falls off a cliff with qualifiers, probably due to the registry effect. So I don't think this card holds tremendously more value in a PSA 3 (MK) holder vs. an SGC 1.5 or 2 holder. Not to mention the fact that '33 Goudeys, of which I've purchase quite a few, carry little to no premium in PSA holders vs SGC holders in my experience. I find that the card itself is a much stronger indicator of price, what I see as a strong 'buy the card, not the holder' trend among many graded '33 Goudey buyers that I compete with. This probably holds true for most pre-war, I would guess.
