Default Question about gradinga Diamond Stars Greenberg

I got a raw 1936 Diamond Stars Hank Greenberg from a family friend who was the original owner. The card will probably grade out at around 6, maybe 7. My question is, which grading company would you choose? I like the SGC flips, but I have heard that they changed the design, so I am not sure which route to go. Any help would be appreciated.
Sidenote: I have been a collector for 35 years and this will be my first submission for a grading. Thanks again.

Truth. But are you looking to sell? Everyone has their preferences, I prefer SGC for my collection because if their quality and consistency.

I have found SGC to be competent in pricing. I have received offers on my SGC 96 OPC Gretzky as high as the PSA counterpart and refused.

Here is a picture of a PSA 6 that is up on ebay. And, here is a picture of a SGC 60 that is up on ebay (albeit with the error spelling). Which do you like better? (Sorry about the size difference.) I didn't take either picture, so I can't tell you about how they were scanned/shot or why the colors look so different. The SGC 50 is mine, and I like the way it looks framed in the black. I put both SGC cards up because the ebay one (the 60) has the newer flip.

Thanks for the input, guys. I think I will go with SGC. I will post the grade I get on the card. I also have a Sport Kings Gene Tunney in similar condition that I will send with the Greenberg. Thanks again.

If you plan on keeping them, then SGC is cool. If you EVER plan on selling it though, no offense, but SGC just does not get the bids that PSA does.
