SGC vs PSA

First off, I love these threads (SGC vs PSA). It's another thread where most people are in agreement about SGC being the "preferred" grading service of vintage collectors.

Adam,

Thanks for the price comparisons because it again allows me to chime in on the idiocy of collectors with more $$$ than brains. Sorry but I just feel this way. If you want to call me an idiot for voicing my opinion - please do so (that would be your opinion).

Snider SGC 92- $2124 - last PSA 8 $557 last PSA 9 $7364
Mays SGC 86 - $6785 - last PSA 7 $3650 last PSA 8 $15,799

Look at that price difference between a PSA8 and PSA9. Those cards could probably have been reverse graded (the PSA9 graded PSA8 and vice versa). This is SUBJECTIVE. Who knows, the SGC92 could be nicer than the PSA9. Look at that price differential. People are throwing there money at an OPINION.

Look at the price differences between the PSA7 and SGC86 Mays cards. Isn't that supposed to be a HALF grade difference? Then look at the half grade difference price paid between the SGC86 and PSA8 Mays cards. Seriously, again this price is being paid because of a number put on a LABEL.

In any case, I'd stick with SGC. Better holders, more consistent grading and better customer service is where I'd rather put my grading dollars.
