The one thing I would say is that SGC can sometimes be harsh re: centering.
So if you have a centered vintage card, your best would be to go with SGC.
But if your card is not centered, it is more of a crapshoot between PSA and SGC.

It's to artificially drive up the value on higher grades already in population. If they rarely issue high grades, high grade values will naturally rise due to supply relative to population, this has a compounded affect on lower grades as they will become more desirable due to price/supply.
This is also happening on vintage auto grading and has been for a few years. What was once a 10 is now an 8, etc. PSA 9 is about as good as you'll ever get on a grade now.
