Default SGC v. PSA

Having submitted to both, and having put together a number of sets from all eras (1887 - 1971), I can say that at least in my experience...

1) SGC submissions are always easy
2) SGC's customer support (i.e., on the phone) is easier and better than PSA's
3) If you are concerned with resale, then you are better off using PSA if cards are from the 1930s to the present, and probably with T206s too; the only cards on which I have NOT found a huge difference in prices between the two slabs have been on 19th century cards. Otherwise, PSA gets the better price every time. (To illustrate, check out some high-grade 1971 Topps cards in both slabs... huge gap!)
