SGC vs PSA vs Beckett- BVG

I think you have a better chance of getting a higher grade on a card through PSA.What I mean by that is-I have cards graded by both,and when I am comparing cards it seems like where PSA would grade a cards a VG3 that has a small crease in it,SGC may only give that card a good 2(30).But I prefer SGC,I beleive they use more scrutiny.Just my opinion.......

My own category, since it is not on the list:

I like SGC for prewar and postwar.
I like Beckett for modern and all of the prewar and postwar that SGC will not holder (even though they should)

Those are precisely my thoughts.....but I didn't think to add it as an option.

I like PSA for really mainstream stuff (t206, Cracker Jacks, Goudeys), SGC for all other.
