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.
