Just based on sets I've done or am working on, I feel that almost all pre-war issues tend to look better in the SGC holders. They're almost like little framed pieces of artwork. I bought a partial set of 1933 DeLongs a couple years ago, all in GAI holders, and even they looked way better than the DeLongs I had already purchased in PSA holders.
However, I do agree that darker cards such as T207s tend to look better in PSA holders. I have completed a T200 Fatima raw set and if I get it graded I will likely use PSA because of the darkness of the set.
The post-war sets that I'm doing look a little better in PSA holders: 1955 Topps All-American, 1970 Kelloggs baseball and football, 1977 Topps cloth stickers, etc.
