If you want to resell a card or view it primarily as an "investment piece" that is undergraded or ungraded = bite the bullet and use PSA and see your card sometime next year. Good luck with the sale.

If you aren't so concerned with maximizing "investment value," don't want to put your "asset" in a "vault" any time soon, and just want a cool looking holder = use SGC

If you just want to protect a card from your six year old bending the corners and throwing up on it = buy a box of top loaders off eBay and encase your own cards in hard plastic for shits and giggles

If you want to touch a card and smell it and rub in around your face for a real tactile rush = don't encase it at all

If you want to waste a few dollars = use a third tier grading company
