Which Seaver RC would you keep?
I currently have 2 Seaver rookies: an SGC5 and a PSA8(MC) and I'm looking to get some opinions on which to keep long term. The 2 options are attached, but to summarize my thoughts:
1. The SGC5 seems to have slightly better color and much better centering (although still not perfect), but has some print spots 2. The PSA8(MC) has no print spots and much sharper corners, especially evident when looking at the back 3. Edges seem to be about the same on both cards 4. While the PSA8(MC) obviously has terrible centering, the card isn't missing any of the yellow background on the front, and the green boarder is present all the way around the back. My understanding is that the (MC) is generally worth approximately -2 grade points, so the PSA8(MC) is essentially a 6. Is that correct? Or does the terrible centering take away from the card so much that a typical collector would actually prefer the SGC5? |

I bought a 67 set with many cards that were graded and broke out with the flips still with them. The Seaver was an PSA 8 OC I send it to SGC and it came back a 3.5. Doesn't seam right but the 5 is probably worth more in todays market.

Wow, good to know! Crazy that an 8 would be downgraded to a 3.5 just because of the centering but that's exactly the type of info I'm looking for, thanks!

Easily the 5 for me. The centering and the colours making it a much nicer example IMO

Thanks! So for you, color and centering are more important than sharp corners and a few print spots?

That said, if you want to donate the one you don't keep, this Seaver fan would be happy to take it off your hands. Both are beautiful!! |

The SGC 5 all day long. It is a great looking card. The OC PSA card is not so much. I just can't see past very OC cards.

keep the SGC 5, the color pops even on a tiny cell phone screen.
