Rubber Rollers would require constant inking during each color , if not you get a dull or dark appearance .
the SGC card was printed during the time when Rollers were full of ink early part of the run hence the bright vibrant look , PSA is not Blurry or mis registered so would not get demerits for print defects,
bordering is much better on the PSA with 3 of the 4 corners quite square,
as stand alone each card I feel is not over graded , obviously one against the other if you do not care about the rounded corners poor bordering SGC looks better.
But as the old saying goes "looks are not every thing"

I talked to a Printer friend of mine. He said, from just eyeballing the scan, mumbling first about cyan and magenta, that he thinks it either missed the yellow pass or at the very least got much less than it was supposed to.....
