PSA or SGC?

Which is better for grading 1920's Caramel cards?

Also, is it better to do authentic for very low condition cards that aren't missing any paper?

THX for the advice..

I’d go psa most on here will probably say Sgc.

I don't believe you choose Authentic, that is just the assigned grade when there is extensive damage so the card is essentially below a 1, or it is because the card has been tampered with such as trimmed, recolored, etc...but is an authentic card.

I like PSA personally....

SGC hands down.

What do you plan do to with the cards?
If you plan to sell soon, PSA
If you plan to keep them, whichever slabs you prefer

Exactly, depends what you value.
1) Do you want the most accurate grade?
2) Do you want the highest resale value?
3) Do you want to track your set collection progress on the most used website?
4) Do you want the most attractive frame/case? Or the most difficult to break case?
5) How much are you willing to spend per card, or are you willing to submit your cards with others to get a lower per unit grading cost?

I would go with SGC, unless you want to wait several months for PSA to get around to grading them.

Also, with SGC, when you submit your cards, there is a place on the submission form that allows you to have your cards graded as "authentic". If you don't check that box your card may be returned to you without being slabbed.

(This is from the online submission form)
Grading Service:
Check here if you would like SGC to encapsulate any trimmed or color-enhanced card(that is authentic) with the "A" designation
