[ullmandds]

The age old question that no one seems to tire about talking about...

Facts:

PSA grades less stringently than SGC
SGC has nicer holders
PSA has a bigger following because people are stupid
PSA has less morals than SGC

When Yogi saw this thread, he said,

"It's like déjà vu all over again,"

"and both companies will take cash, which is just as good as money"

SGC actually gives a damn about it's customers.
SGC's pop report is awful.
PSA's set registry is purportedly more prestigeous than SGC's.

I don't agree on grading. My experience and observation is that SGC is much more forgiving on corners and centering. On the other hand, SGC is less forgiving (or perhaps more rigorous in finding them) on wrinkles and paper loss.

I love it when this topic comes up again and again....

Ed, what are you saying? Are you indicating PSA doesn't care about their customers?

There is definitely one HUGE difference between PSA and SGC. SGC takes the time to talk to their customers and they seem to actually care about how their customers feel, even those that don't submit hundreds of cards. SGCs customer service is sooooooo MUCH BETTER than PSA.

The one thing I wish SGC (and other TPGs) would do is some how come up with a way to seal a slab so that people know it was tampered with. I guess Beckett has the best tamper proof cases but those things are a bit larger than a standard slab.

SGC for me.
