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?

Without challenging the premise that PSA outsells SGC, i don’t think a comparison between these two auctions is all that informative to support that premise. Some collectors lost out on an SGC 60 Duffy AB 460 in September. Two folks who may have been shut out then decide to bid at the same price level on a PSA 4 of the same card a few weeks later, and wind up at nearly the same exact price. Obviously, the SGC sale was informing the PSA sale, but not necessarily because of the grade differential. Could just be that the same folks want a nice AB 460 Duffy, and the actual grade differential - or even condition differential - was not driving the price.
A better comparison would be the same T206 card in a PSA 4 and an SGC 4 selling in the same auction and ending at the same time.
