Default 1933 Delong - PSA vs SGC

Looking for some advice from our fellow members. I would like to complete the 1933 Delong set in appx. midgrade (PSA 5) condition.

Would you suggest PSA or SGC and WHY? Will one cost more? More availability? Resale value?

I am semi-new to pre-war collecting. What is the general consensus in regards to PSA vs. SGC for grading pre-war cards?

Thanks in advance for your knowledge.

Which will cost more: Probably PSA. PSA usually demands a premium since you'll be up against a larger pool of collectors.

More availability: PSA. A quick ebay search found 42 to 16 PSA vs. SGC graded Delongs. The corresponding POP Reports show 2568 PSA graded Delongs versus 1198 SGC graded.

Resale Value: PSA. It goes along with the "which will cost more" question.

With that said; it'll be easier and slightly more expensive to complete the set through PSA, but a lot of members here believe SGC slabs are prettier. It's a toss up.

jhs5120 makes good points. That said, if you are not going for super high grade, I don't think it makes a big difference which holder the card is in. I like the way my set looks in SGC holders.

I also love the look of these cards in an SGC holder.

I have had several psa and sgc cards from this set and the sgc holders really make the cards display much better in my opinion.

And of course, you can buy any of the ways (raw, SGC, PSA) and then decide which one you want all of them to be holdered in. Send them into the company and they'll transfer them into a new case for you for a fee. But if you're collecting this set, that fee is negligible.

Very Cool set, one I plan to complete down the road. I prefer the look in the SGC slabs.

My example-

It's all preference in my opinion it's a sweet set for sure. I'm a PSA guy all the way but this set I may actually do SGC. Cards pop with the black border around it. Best of luck

Do you have or would you do high res scans of the card? especially the edges?
I have a McManus that's also a 7 Unfortunately it's graded by accu-card
I suspect it's trimmed since the edges are very clean, but the size is right. My other Delong is a beater so it's useless for comparison. If I had something to compare to and felt the card wasn't trimmed I'd try to cross it over.

I think the black SGC inserts make them look better. That being said if it is a high grade registry card then PSA would be the better choice, value-wise. So if you are looking at a set in around EX condition I think you will do well with SGC. Either would be ok though...imo.

I would pick up cards either sgc or psa and you can always decide later to cross the one's over if you decide you like on better than the other. In that grade the crossover grading won't be that much in relation to the value of the set and early on you'll probably decide which you like better.
