I'm a newbie to all this, and want to get some cards graded (eventually) and was wondering what company to use?

I see PSA graded cards mostly but SGC is right there as well. Is there that big of a difference between the 2 companies?

Also, like what was written below. I see cards graded low from both companies that make me wonder then I see cards graded high that also make me wonder? I know, there is more to it than meets the eye, especially viewing on the internet, but sometimes you see obvious flaws and the cards are rated/graded high and sometimes you don't but they are rated/graded low?

I guess a lot depends on the particular person grading from either company?

The difference is one is accurately grades and the other is a lottery draw. Bad part is more people like the lottery draw than accuracy.
