Am I limiting my options too much going SGC only?

^^This whole statement is true^^

Now the part all the PSA people seem to leave out. They cost more to buy so yes they better sell for more. A long time seller of graded cards said the profit margin is almost exactly the same no matter what one of the big 3 you buy/sell. Yes SGC cards sell for less than PSA but that also means they are cheaper to buy.

The most important part of the previous post. Collect what you want. I have slabs from all 3.

As do I but I prefer the way the card looks in the SGC holder and also feel they are more consistent and accurate graders, at least when I am submitting. I do not care for the politics and games at PSA but it is true that they have the audience.

Thanks for the comments. Food for thought. My confidence in buying raw isn't there yet.

Excellent point.
