1960 Mays: SGC or CSG?
 
I find myself the lucky possessor of 2 1960 Topps Willie Mays, both in nice shape. One is SGC 6 and the other is CSG 6.5. The question is which is the better card, not in terms of resale value, but which is better for a PC? Backs are really close.

CSG is the nicer card, I'd send it back to them for a reholder in their new label and stick that one in my PC. I'd also have them flip the orientation to match the SGC card.

+1 what Phil said. (Especially about the orientation flip.)

Both nice cards!
The CSG looks like the nicer card to me.

The CSG card looks to have bolder, crisper colors and photograph. Assuming that is not an artifact of the scan, I'd go with the CSG.

CSG looks better IMO.

Keep the SGC and sell me the CSG.

There is something about Csg slabs. The Clarity is unmatched. I definitely think they use a special higher clarity plastic. Or some kind of treatment. I have a few and they somehow look even crisper then a raw card side by side.

I like the SGC 6. Less, really no fisheyes. The 6.5 has several and what looks like scuffs on the background? Or is that scuffing on the holder?

nwfsteve 07-03-2022 03:46 PM

Not scuffs on the holder but it definitely looks little less dark in those places on the CSG vs the SGC. But I agree the CSG holders seem clearer. I will probably keep both for now. The fact that the black box around "Giants" on the CSG seems denser is key to me. Thank you all.
