HELP! Opinion needed on grading comparison
Hi. Could I get some opinions on a perspective purchase? Which would you think is the better deal for a 1953 Bowman Mantle:
A BVG 5 at $625 or A PSA 4 at $500 I am more a pre-war guy but have always wanted this card and have opportunity for it. Both are real clean and crease free. If you have an opinion, i would love to hear it! Thanks, Tony

Anthony, thanks for the input. They both look very close in grade with the BVG centered a tad better. I wondered what BVG's status was in the hobby in 50's and 60's baseball. I know they are respected in the 90's to present. I had a concern that the $125 bump in grade was worth it. Anyone else care to offer an opinion.
Most appreciated!

I have crossed pre-war BVG graded cards to SGC pretty successfully. I actually think Beckett is more on par with their grading over PSA.
With that said, if both are clean and crease free with not much of a centering difference I would rather save myself $125 and get the PSA 4.
