PSA vs SGC value
I had heard that SGC was closing the gap but not with a card I just sold.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/1909-T206-W...d=302907756033 https://www.ebay.com/itm/T206-Hugh-D...AAAOSwxidboVn4 Full grade difference and 1c apart! Last edited by Leon; 10-17-2018 at 01:18 PM.

IMO the SGC 5 would grade a 4 if resubmitted. Plus I think the PSA version looks better.

Yes, the two cards present with similar attributes. I bet your recently-sold 5 would grade a 4 with PSA if resubmitted.
People are buying the card...not the......well, you know

PSA grades tougher. Not always, but usually an SGC 5 is a PSA 4. PSA early 20th century tobacco era cards sell for significantly more than SGC graded cards in almost all cases. 19th century is a bit different as SGC is still strong there. In a related subject SGC grades S-74 silks and uses a criteria that makes no sense at all . At the National the line for PSA was very long. SGC had no line and they were terribly unorganized. I dont see SGC closing the gap on PSA if anything it is widening. With cards being so valuable it is safer to have valuable cards in PSA holders.

PSA vs SGC value
I’ve had countless caramel cards I’ve cracked from an SGC holder and submitted to PSA and got a better grade. SGC is tough on caramels but quite fair/accurate overall imo. We’ve covered this topic many times, and the PSA registry has helped in like grades at times on price. I’ll buy an SGC card in the same grade any day. A Ruth E121 SGC 3.5 just sold for 33k, which isn’t too shabby. Not sure a PSA 3.5 has ever sold for close to that much. Just an example the PSA over SGC price doesn’t always add up.

A sample size of 1 is hardly conclusive of anything. This comparison only demonstrated that a higher grade on the flip does not always equate to more money. The SGC example, as has been pointed out, appeared to be a weaker example for the grade and consistent with the condition of the lower graded PSA example. I would guess, based on condition, the market was spot on in the valuation of the two cards.
I have been seeing recently graded SGC material doing better. Time will tell how that shakes out in the market but I hope it continues for them and for us. Competition is vital to life on Earth.

+1 As has been pointed out many times the main place there will be price differences is in registry competition. A vg caramel card in either companies holder holds about the same weight to me. I think SGC is a bit better at vintage but I am biased too.

Be interested to know how Beckett stacks up against PSA and SGC relative to current values on pre-war cards. My own experience is that they are a distant third when competing against the other two in an auction format but can offer some great opportunities for nice cards properly graded.

Leon-There is really no registry on Old Judges and PSA kicks SGC's ass on price.
