LOL.....this debate is almost as old as "what came first - the chicken or the egg". I'm speaking tongue in cheek of course, but....

The above poster is right. PSA advertises like crazy, and people are sheep. SGC does a very honorable job of grading cards and I love the way they look in the cases.

That being said, when it comes time to sell, they get NOWHERE near the prices of PSA. If someone is selling a card in SGC and they see it selling for a fraction of the PSA counterpart, of course they aren't going to want to sell any more SGC's. Now, if the SGC buyers would SUPPORT the .99 cent auctions on Ebay of SGC cards and help drive the prices up to even close of what the PSA cards are..........that hasn't happened so far though.

I am a huge SGC fan...
As a COLLECTOR
I think the cards look much better in their holders.
As for premium pricing, I know it is not there for SGC but that doesn't bother me.
I have had 2 cards in PSA holders that I attempted to get crossed to SGC and they can back as trimmed. They were National Chicle football cards and no, I do not have scans. I feel the standards are strict at SGC except, of course, on centering. But that has been adequately discussed
