This is not a true statement.

A very well centered SGC card has and can sell for more than its PSA counterpart if the PSA graded example is not as well centered. If the PSA counterpart is well centered, then it will outsell the SGC card as it does almost every time, anyway...at least with vintage.

To write that centering matters more than the who graded the card is simply not true and is entirely dismissing the unfortunate reality of the influence PSA's set registry has on the hobby.

You Said the Major Key Point .........Influence of PSA's registry on the hobby.

Pop and Registry are Universal with PSA, never will have any meaning to a SGC graded card regardless of what it looks like.

However there have been and will continue to be Beautiful SGC Deserving of the Grade Cards that will at times outsell PSA cards.

When I am buying or trading a card, I just don't give a rats ass about the holder. I collect cards. But to each their own...

if anyone's cards in slabs lose value, I am a buyer!

This will probably be cracked and sent to CGC....And I doubt it loses value.

Indeed. I buy cards. No need for a registry. I have cards that are ungraded, in PSA, SGC, CGC and BVG holders.
