Same. I send in all of my raw cards to SGC unless they don’t grade an issue. All of my Registry set cards are bought in PSA and I buy none raw. On prewar, non-Registry cards, I try to buy just SGC as I trust them more and like the flips more — but sometimes the cards are rare and you buy what you can get. On T206 I’ll buy either PSA or SGC because while the cards may be worth less in SGC holders they’re cheaper too. And sometimes a much better looking, same graded SGC card goes for a discount to its PSA twin.

Finally, while SGC service has been great for me, I find that a call or email to PSA is handled very well of late.
