as for the price of the matty, t206 prices of iconic hofers are outpacing the market, and the sgc 5 has better eye appeal imo than recent psa 5 sales in the mid 3k range.
we're seeing more examples of sgc cards getting psa prices in popular registry sets based on the eye appeal of the card rather than the grade or tpg company. that's a good thing for the hobby.

EXACTLY Jim! Collectors rather stare at a beautiful card than a higher numerical grade. Many times, the “technical” aspects for a card’s grade allows for lower graded cards to easily outdistance higher assessments with regard to superior aesthetics. This circumstance is widespread with low to mid grade cards, and we are seeing it with pricing results.
