It's too simplistic to say PSA cards sell for more than SGC's. In the set registry area they generally do. PSA has that market. They also seem to have the bigger share of the postwar market. But when you're talking about a scarce or rare vintage card in mid-grade, say Good to Excellent, the SGC cards are usually more accurately graded and hold their own comparatively well.

Both companies make grading mistakes but SGC makes fewer, and I think most collectors realize that. And that counts for something.

Barry I agree with everything you say. But even if SGC makes fewer mistakes, is that because they are focused on vintage as opposed to focusing on a wide variety of items like PSA does? Again, no disrespect to SGC I love their holders a lot more. I just feel that PSA might make more mistakes because they either deal with a wider range of cards or just a higher volume in general.
