One is in a PSA holder, another SGC, one CSG, and one BVG. Asking prices below, and they're from the same seller...so your wheeling & dealing will amount to the same discount, if any.

PSA: $500
SGC: $450
CSG: $300
BVG: $300

Which one would you buy?
As the cards are identical, I'd buy the CSG or the BVG every time. Buy the card not the holder. Why would I pay 60% more for the same card?
