What grading Co brings the most $$$'s

If I had a high grade card that I thought would end up with an investor or a set registry builder, I'd probably go PSA. If I had a medium grade card that might end up with a collector, I'd go SGC. As far as public relations, both have been helpful but I'd give the edge to SGC. With regard to which sell for more money, I've seen SGC cards set world records too, so it's not entirely clear to me that only PSA cards get the highest prices. Maybe more than half the time, but certainly not all the time. They are a little more of a name brand, and that's a plus; SGC is a little more precise in their grading, but not as well known as PSA.
