On a consistent basis PSA will indeed outsell any other grading company ...exceptions for rare and desirable cards, undergraded examples and particular areas of collecting interest.
I have a lot of SGC cards in my collection, a few GAI.
I am a collector , i do not invest in cards , do not have an axe to grind or anything like that.
But it does gets old to hear the constant bashing PSA.
Its a daily occurance to see someone write "thats why i only collect sgc" or " sgc is a far superior company" etc
all the while being critical of those who collect PSA, calling them sheep, blind etc."
Rick, Take a good look at the thread. It documents EVERY single post 1948 SGC sale vs. PSA. Every single one! SGC is crushing PSA in post war head to head sales. It is not because of bad sellers, poor scans etc. There is nearly 250+ rolling examples.
I would say there is not a lot of PSA bashing on this board. People do like to point out the bad examples, but I think it has been a relatively open forum for everyone's mistakes e.g. SGC's Cobb and Doyle etc. Certainly not as much BGS, SGC or GAI bashing as the CU board.
In any case, I have a lot of respect for what PSA started and how it changed the hobby landscape with the set registry. I do prefer SGC, but I have certainly submitted to PSA and have purchased many of their slabs over the years.
