SGC card is visually more appealing , but it has all 4 rounded corners and very narrow top border VG3 is a Fair evaluation not out of line, PSA grade strictly on card slabbed I feel is accurate Print Registration is Fine , not blurry , darkness is caused during Press Run which was letter press , printing one color at a time,
Rubber Rollers would require constant inking during each color , if not you get a dull or dark appearance .
the SGC card was printed during the time when Rollers were full of ink early part of the run hence the bright vibrant look , PSA is not Blurry or mis registered so would not get demerits for print defects,
bordering is much better on the PSA with 3 of the 4 corners quite square,
as stand alone each card I feel is not over graded , obviously one against the other if you do not care about the rounded corners poor bordering SGC looks better.
But as the old saying goes
"looks are not every thing"
