Good morning Tom-
Glad to read you picked up some nice cards. The 74s are officially 50 years
old! My first year of pack buying was 76 and I own some beauties myself
Since you put the question, I'll give an answer- SGC all the way. SGC is:
1) More consistent in the actual assignment of grades
2) Faster to return the cards
3) Cheaper
4) Aesthetically more pleasing in terms of slab
I have little doubt someone(s) will pop on this thread and insist "PSA gets
higher prices when you sell". The problems with that comment are
twofold. First, you didn't indicate an interest to sell. Second, that idea
presumes that PSA actually get the grade right in the first place (something
I wouldn't bet a quarter on).
Good luck and enjoy! Trent King
