I dropped off a 23 card submission with Earl on Sunday, June 2nd at the TriStar show in Houston. The cards were logged the following day, Monday, June 3rd. The sub popped Monday, June 10th, only 5 business days. Heck, it takes PSA longer than that just to log a sub. I received the cards back today, 10 days from the time they left my hands. Amazing turnaround time and great customer service. Let's see PSA do that!

I emailed their Canadian office in Oshawa, Ontario and it took over 3 weeks to get a response. I wasn't impressed and told them I'd be sending my cards to PSA. PSA on the other hand has always been responsive to my questions. I'd like to give SGC a try but that episode turned me off them.

I guess YMMV.

I use both and they are both solid, I prefer SGC.

I would not be worried on the M116 resale, prices are strong and close for both. Now if you had said high grade 60-70's commons then PSA would be the way to go for sure.
