I just threw up in my mouth a little (haha!!). Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I'd take either Cobb portrait over that one. Just don't love the yellow of the port.

A few more portraits from my main set. I don't think any of these scans do the cards justice but among my favorite portraits!

I love the Donovan. He isn't a HOFer, but that color is so unique in the set, it just pops.

Here are a few I like because they were found in an envelope postmarked 1911 with a bunch of other EPDG cards that have not see the light of day in 100 years.

First of all to the OPs point, personally, I think if the cards in SGC holders were in PSA holders they would have brought more...but who knows. I feel people in these grade ranges are buying the card and not the holder but, PSA has much better marketing and management, and the registry, so cards in their holders generally bring more. It's not really a debate from what I have seen.

As for this post, that Bressy reminds me of mine but with opposite big border. Love this miscut...

Agree with you in general Leon that PSA gets a premium all else being equal in registry sets. That said, there have recently been a lot more examples like last night from REA where a SGC 4 Waddell throwing went for much more ($1,740) than a PSA 4 Waddell throwing ($1,050), and deservedly so.

Especially in popular sets, color/registration/centering increasingly means more than the grader and the premium for eye appeal keeps on growing.

Leon, great Bresnahan portrait. My point regarding value between Sgc and Psa prewar issues though (in this case T206's) is that the gap is much closer now than what it once was in years past.

The cards being discussed may have very well sold for more if they were in Psa slabs. I'm not disputing that. My point was/is that Sgc prewar cards more than hold their own today against Psa when they display nice for the grade.

Collectors such as you and I are proof of that as we pay up for the nice stuff no matter if its Sgc or Psa.

Now post war is an entirely different story!
