Default PSA or SGC?

I'm sure it has been discussed but never needed to read. May I hear opinions comparing SGC or PSA grading service for Baseball cards.

My opinion: PSA is better for resale value. SGC has a better looking holder and the grading aspect is more accurate than PSA. I always chose SGC over PSA for my personal collection but PSA always got me more money back on my investment.
Just my personal experience, I'm sure MANY will chime in with their own stories.

Default psa

Everyone on this board has 100% agreed that PSA is the best. There is no controversy whatsoever.

"The weak prices across the board for SGC are out there because of the card in the holder."

I'd suggest you stop buying SGC 5's and trying to cross them if that's the case.... Each company has their own grading criteria. PSA "4" cards often seem to have a small crease and I've found paper missing on the backs. SGC seems to allow for more corner wear - sometimes their VG cards are more like good. I'm in the SGC camp and I have ungraded cards as well. Vanilla, chocolate, moose tracks - there are many ways to collect. Most of the time both do a decent job. Some of the time they do a really bad job. Align yourself in either camp or neither - sometimes your unyielding blanket statements relative to quality control and pricing just doesn't stand up to the facts. If you bought a card on it's own merits and not based on what some third party said - in the long run you would likely be less disappointed.....

That is because psa is tougher on corners. Every sgc 5 I have tried to cross over has come back a 4. The weak prices across the board for SGC are out there because of the card in the holder.

Kevin - I always find it interesting how differently people value certain condition aspects. Personally I rate corners very low. I value centering and image quality with much more weight.

My next importance would be centering. Who am I kidding, they are almost as important as each other.

I have turned down so many cards because of centering. I would say I am split like this

45 percent corners
35 percent centering
15 percent paper quality....obviously within reason. if its to much and subtracting from the rest it could over power the rest.

5 percent swing because no poll adds up to 100 percent ever.
