I have ~125 graded cards.
- 80% PSA
- 20% SGC
- No other companies right now...not because I'm opposed to them. For what I collect (mostly 50s-70s baseball), I just don't see very many CSG and Beckett.

Like it or not, PSA is king of the market. Both in terms of number of cards out there and resale value. I don't focus on resale value, since I'm a collector-first. Any card I purchase I generally intend to own for a long time.

FWIW, I think the newer SGC holder (tuxedo) does an excellent job of presenting cards of almost any era.
