Recent Personal Observations from Vintage Card Grading Trends

[Johnny630]

Has anyone noticed or experienced over the past year or two some slight cool little nuances between the two major grading companies most of us (self-included use) for our vintage cards? I've done some comparison and came up with a couple of my own theories that I have personally noticed through my submissions and from what I'm seeing at shows on newer/recently slabbed cards.

SGC tends to be more lenient on corners then PSA and stricter on Centering.

PSA seems to be more difficult/critical on corners over centering.

SGC seems to be difficult/critical on print as compared to PSA which seems to be more lenient on print.

Overall eye appeal of the card more so geared towards centering seems to be rewarded by SGC regardless of one or more soft corners...SGC more frequently rewards with the .5 bump. PSA seems to be super difficult/critical on getting that bump to the point .5 regardless of centering.

Just a couple of my personal recent observations.

Look forward to hearing what others maybe noticing themselves.
