Which Cards Look Best In Which Holders?

[BradH]

Just based on sets I've done or am working on, I feel that almost all pre-war issues tend to look better in the SGC holders. They're almost like little framed pieces of artwork. I bought a partial set of 1933 DeLongs a couple years ago, all in GAI holders, and even they looked way better than the DeLongs I had already purchased in PSA holders.

However, I do agree that darker cards such as T207s tend to look better in PSA holders. I have completed a T200 Fatima raw set and if I get it graded I will likely use PSA because of the darkness of the set.

The post-war sets that I'm doing look a little better in PSA holders: 1955 Topps All-American, 1970 Kelloggs baseball and football, 1977 Topps cloth stickers, etc.

The Mayos are almost a tossup: SGC makes the dark cards look even darker but PSA uses a baggy. I avoid baggys at almost all cost.

I think all red cards like Cracker Jacks look a lot better in PSA holders. T3's too, not a huge fan of the SGC over-sized holder.

Probably all black/white/sepia issues look better in SGC.

I'm in agreement with Jeff. That being said though any PSA slab that has their infamous baggy inside looks like $@#%.......

Some issues there's no great option. PSA uses baggy for Tattoo Orbits--but SGS for some reason mounts them way too low. I should add that I obtain cards mainly on aesthetic appeal.

I think most cards look better in SGC, except maybe Mayo's - the black on black is a bit much and the card gets lost. JMO

E107's look better in SGC holder. I like Old Judges also in SGC.
