Default Ebay experiment: PSA vs. SGC
OK, not quite apples to apples, but close.

This evening I ran these 2 auctions:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/155085096215
https://www.ebay.com/itm/155085093904

Same card, identical descriptions, closing the same night within 2 minutes of each other. The results:

PSA 5 received 11 bids and sold for $118.50. It had 143 views.
SGC 4.5 received 1 bid and sold for $60.00. It had 35 views.

I can't imagine the half grade difference alone could count for the quadruple number of views, or doubling of the high bid.

ya...the difference in centering is pretty significant...and with a common registry set type card like this the difference will be more noticeable than say a goudey ruth...imo!

When I see anything graded a 4, my immediate thought is 'wrinkle or crease,' and when I see anything graded a 5, I have no such 'fears.' That (I assume common thought among collectors) probably plays a role.

And when I see a 4 now, my immediate thought is 6 or 7 but the submitter was some anonymous collector not a favorite with connections.
