In fact a group of T206 collectors (myself among them) recently bought and broke a T206 set that was mixed PSA and SGC. We purposely assigned a 10% discount to any commons that were SGC.

As much as I like SGC (and use them exclusively), PSA graded pre-war cards still bring more than SGC IMHO. SGC is the choice among posters on this board, it seems, but a lot of collectors still prefer PSA although I think the gap has narrowed somewhat. SGC holders ARE much better looking aesthetically and you don't have sliding cards like some PSA holders. Plus I believe SGC does a better job spotting trimmed cards although I sometimes disagree with their assessments.
