JudgeDred2In my opinion I like the SGC and GAI black backgrounds (although I like SGC better for personal reasons).
At the bottom of the barrel I don't think that there's really that much difference because the subjectivity of grading cards at those low levels seems to change on a daily basis for all graders (GAI, PSA, SGC, etc). I've seen some ugly 1's and some pretty 1's (is that even possible, my standards must be pretty low). I've seen some 1.5's and 2's that were uglier than some other 1's. The 1's that I like have the pin holes or some other minor blemish that relegates the card to such a low grade. I figure I can live with a small pin hole as long as the card displays nicely. For those of us that are bottom feeders these cards can offer great value.
