The one thing I would say is that SGC can sometimes be harsh re: centering.
So if you have a centered vintage card, your best would be to go with SGC.
But if your card is not centered, it is more of a crapshoot between PSA and SGC.

Yes, this is definitely true. SGC is more strict about centering (as they should be IMO). But they also reward good centering, which PSA does not do. I consistently get half grade bumps, and even sometimes full grade bumps, with SGC for perfectly centered cards. The majority of my collection is centered. I almost never get half grades from PSA. They don't even take it into consideration at all, other than as a mere qualifier for a grade, and even at that they're pretty lenient. The number of OC 10s in PSA slabs is embarrassing.
