LOL....after what I had to pay for it you wouldn't want it. Both of these will reside in my collection....probably permanently or until I sell my collection again (I have no reason to at this time. )

I would take either card.

Not an easy question.

Both cards look really good I am not sure I can pick one over the other.

If I had to choose I would probably pick the 4.5

I like the 4.5. Wear on the bottom corners is less pronounced and the text on the back is sharper. But they're both beautiful cards.

The 4.5, because it has a little more of an "I'm an old card that still looks nice" vibe vs. "I'm an old card that is trying too hard to look like a shiny new card", which, whether or not it has been tampered with (not saying that it has been and probably hasn't), still always leaves a negative impression in my lower condition brain.

If you're a flip freak, then PSA. If you only care about the higher numerical grade then SGC. Perhaps the question should be about subjectivity and which card is felt to be most accurately graded.

If there was a huge difference in price, I'd take the PSA4.5 card.

Are the borders of the PSA 4.5 that much shinier than the SGC 6 or is it just the pictures?

Easy choice for me, the SGC has less wear, I would take that one first.

As a centering freak, both pass muster to me. Only then do I look at the back, and the SGC wins there pretty easily.

It yawl look at the numbers in the poll they are almost dead even. And if I vote for the 6 it would be even (as of a few minutes ago). I haven't voted because I don't know!! And that is how I ended up with 2.

I'd choose the psa example due to stronger bolder image and perfect focus/registry.

The sgc appears to have a slight color shift and throws off the image detail just a bit, and washed out colors compared to the psa example.

But either would look nice in my binder
