Appreciate Advice - Should I use PSA or SGC?
Posted By: Peter
I am going to sell 50+ nice 1933 Hockey cards - I would appreciate a recommendation on which grading company to hire to grade the star cards and high grade commons in order to maximize the sale value of the cards. Is the PSA Registry so popular that it makes sense to use them or would you recommend SGC? Thank you |

I don't know the hockey market ... but for many BB Card issues if you're simply looking for max $$ PSA is the way to go. If you think you might want to keep the collection, you've got a real decision to make, especially since I have a more positive view of SGC and think they look nicer in their holders. |

Add me to Jim's list of people who know nothing about hockey, however that won't stop me from answering. |

Thank you for your quick reply - I would certianly appreciate hearing your advice anyways - if they were 11933 baseball cards to be sold shortly - what would bring the highest value in you opinion? PSA or SGC? How valuable is the PSA registry - do cards mean more to the registry collectors and therefore are worth more? Just asking your opinion? Thank you |

Registry would be a factor for me. If my cards were high grade and there was a strong competition for high grade cards from my set on one of the registries, i would go for that one. If my cards were mid-grade or low-grade and there were more registry people at those levels on another registry, I would go for that one. A lot of set collectors try to complete set in all one type of holder, so I would aim towards the biggest market in the appropriate holder for your anticipated grades. |

In general I would send high grade cards (8,9,10) that were intended for sale to PSA and both upper mid-grade/lower grade cards and cards for my personal collection to SGC. |

Thank you everybody for your replies - much appreciated! I know from following Net54 that the board members like and respect SGC and I have recently tried them with a few baseball cards (awaiting my grades)- PSA's reputation on the board does not seem as good as SGC's, however, cards in their holders (in the same grade as SGC's) may bring more $ in the door today. |

I have no knowledge of the hockey card market, but with my own cards if I plan on keeping them I send them to SGC because I prefer the holders, but if I plan on selling them I send them to PSA because they seem to bring higher prices. Hope this is of some help... |

What 33 set do you have? OPC, Canada Gum, Ice Kings, or Hamilton Gum? |

I have 22 quite nice Hamilton Gums (I am guessing 5, 6 or 7's - perhaps a couple 8's) - depends on the grader - a few of the borders are dirty - includes Morenz, 2 Clancys, 2 Conachers, Joliat, Primeau, Jackson, 29 -1933 OPC - I am guessing 4's 5's and 6's - perhaps a few 7's maybe an 8. |

It would depend on what cards you have from 1933 as Jason asked. |

Peter - Sorry I missed your last post. Hamilton Gum cards are on the PSA set registry. One person has quite a few sets. There should be some sales on VCP to give you an idea what they are worth. |
