SGC/BGS/PSA Advice

[Miner30]

I’m looking to pull the trigger on a few rookies of younger stars. Acuna seems like a good value right now. Vlad jr. also isn’t too expensive. I’m looking to spend no more than $100 on each. I’m targeting Acuna’s 2018 Topps Update and I can get a SGC 9.5 for a similar price of a PSA 9. Should I pull the trigger on that? As far as Vlad, I’m targeting his 2019 NNO Topps card. I’m seeing the same thing with the SGC 9.5 and PSA 9. The BGS 9.5’s for these are slightly more than SGC. I’m planning on holding onto these for many years. Just looking for suggestions. Thanks!

If they have similar prices buy the card you like the best.

If you are holding there is no way to know what slab will bring the most cash. Plus you will need to update to the latest greatest slab to get the most money when selling in the future.
