Default Which 56 Clemente to keep

Hi all. I wanted to gather opinions on these 56 Clemente’s. I would like to keep one and sell the other. I like both about equally, though I am leaning towards the psa. They have similar corners, but the centering on the psa is better (the sgc has a slight diamond cut). The borders are much whiter on the sgc while the psa has some yellowing. Thoughts?

A couple of things. Is money a factor in your decision? As a rule of thumb, the SGC would (most likely) sell for less. But also a minor thing that may be cool. The SGC card has a filled-in 'R' in "Roberto." Not sure if this is a sought after variation, but it may be.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

The filled in R is a result of a poor scanner setting (dust removal). The letter isn’t actually filled in, but good eye!

Both are nice looking but I would keep the PSA 6. The centering on that card is hard to find and it looks great for the grade.

I agree. The PSA is nicely centered.

I'd keep the PSA card. IF you ever have to sell it, it will be easier to move and would sell for more. Plus, it's slightly better centered than the SGC.

Thanks for all of the comments everyone. I think I need to stick with both for a while because those white borders on the SGC keep pulling me back in. Thanks again.

They are both very, very nice. I lean toward the SGC graded card because I like the color and overall brightness. The centering is acceptable to me personally.

The centering on the SGC isn’t my issue. The slight diamond cut bothers me more. Still a great card though.

Educate an ignorant person here please....

When you say "diamond cut", are you referring to the slight tilt of the cut? That was why I said I like the centering of the PSA card. The tilt in the SGC card's cut catches my eye and devalues it, to me.

If that's what diamond cut means, then I learned something today. : ).

Yeah, I'm THAT dumb.
