In the grades I collect, there is not much difference in price between PSA and SGC. Given all that, I'll go with the company with the better looking holder, quicker turnaround times and the better customer service.

im not assuming ALL registry participants compete...many use it to keep track of their sets...BUT, the top 5 sets (many times whales) are the ones who jackup the prices when they need a card for their registry that may vault them 1 spot higher....
in fact, PSA has a feature that enables a collector to see "what if" they add a certain card and what it will do to their Registry scores....this is VERY SMART...
PSA knows they have many collectors by the onions, thus they may slack on the customer service...
