Which card do you prefer?

[Jay Wolt]

I'll take SGC's undergraded version any day of the week
Especially since it would go at a fraction of the "9" price

SGC: It actually supports the card.

Someone's gotta say it. This really seems to be a very 'purposeful' thread that's meant to prove some sort of point. Am I correct?

We are all 'supposed' to pick the SGC 4 to prove we look beyond the number (or for some other reason), yes? And those who opt for the PSA 9 will be smirked at?
The early returns certainly follow that line of thinking.

I prefer the 9. The 4 got a 4 for a reason. Just because I can't see it from this front scan doesn't mean it isn't there.

Are they the same card? Minus the color they look strikingly similar in centering and corners.

SGC looks better in my opinion.

I agree with the poster above, at first they do look like the same card. I'm assuming they are not.

Yep. Well done. SGC only missed by 5 grades. The highlight of a distinguished 30 card or thereabouts sub where every card was undergraded, most by around 2 grades.

Great pickup congrats!

Hah, good catch.

I had a feeling it had something to do with SGC's strange grading standards of overseas and odd stock cards.

What's that, like a $700-$800 price difference? A couple years ago or so, it would have been much more.

You have waaaay more confidence in TPG than me. If I didn't know better, I might think it's a scam.

[BobbyStrawberry]

If it's for my collection, I'd go with the SGC only because I despise those PSA slabs that don't set the card correctly. If the PSA slab was sized right I would go with that one but only barely.

[Peter_Spaeth]

Not arguing, but I cannot for the life of me understand why someone would prefer a 4 to a 9 because of the slab's appearance.

Same card ....That's great. I think it's about 50/50 who's wrong ....And I am not sure it matters as it's usually last holder standing, wins.
