PSA vs SGC value

[PiratesWS1979]

IMO the SGC 5 would grade a 4 if resubmitted. Plus I think the PSA version looks better.

Yes, the two cards present with similar attributes. I bet your recently-sold 5 would grade a 4 with PSA if resubmitted.

People are buying the card...not the......well, you know

Then you should be stoked. It's no big secret that PSA brings more than SGC. Add to the fact that the PSA one was the nicer looking card, and there is your monetary difference right there.

PSA grades tougher. Not always, but usually an SGC 5 is a PSA 4. PSA early 20th century tobacco era cards sell for significantly more than SGC graded cards in almost all cases. 19th century is a bit different as SGC is still strong there. In a related subject SGC grades S-74 silks and uses a criteria that makes no sense at all . At the National the line for PSA was very long. SGC had no line and they were terribly unorganized. I dont see SGC closing the gap on PSA if anything it is widening. With cards being so valuable it is safer to have valuable cards in PSA holders.

PSA Old Judges sell for a lot more than their SGC counterparts. In my opinion, this contest is over, PSA wins by a mile.

Where did you hear SGC was closing the gap? From their website?
