Which '57 Berra?

[vintagebaseballcardguy]

Which, if either, would you choose? I think the scan quality is throwing me a little. The SGC card has brighter borders..but is it the scan? Is the SGC $30 better?

I like the SGC card.

Funny, but there was another "Which '57 Berra..." thread not too long ago. I thought I was having deja vu...

Wondered about that. Also, on the SGC card, is that a scratch on his eye to bridge of his nose? On the card or the holder?

Missed that thread...leave it to me to create confusion....

That SGC 80 is overpriced though. I picked this one up not too long ago from Probstein for $127...

Thank you for confirming that for me. I really felt it was overpriced. I have ranted here before about the death of real auctions due to all of the BINs. Ultimately, I will likely pass on both and keep my eyes open for something else. Beautiful Berra by the way!!!

Both are nice and graded accurately. Slight advantage to SGC card as it appears to have retained a "freshness" that the other does not. Scratch appears to be on case, if not, that could change my opinion.

I like the SGC better but would ask if a back scan could be sent before I would purchase. You never know what you can see on the back unless you ask.
