Is it true that SGC will allow you to put a custom notation of your own choosing on the flip? I have one of the F. Scott Fitzgerald-stamped T206s and wouldn't mind having that put on the flip. Any idea if that is a possibility?

I have no real issues with PSA although the turn-around time can lag quite a bit (then again I have always used their monthly specials which are, by nature, longer). I am extremely impressed by the SGC holder, though. It really is a classy-looking display -- it feels more substantial and looks more museum-quality. Both look good in the slabs but SGC is slightly better on eye appeal.

I did notice the other night two nearly T205s were ending on eBay around the same time -- one in SGC holder and the other in a PSA holder. Both had same eye appeal and even the same grade. The PSA went for substantially higher which tells you something about resale value.
