I like the color and image quality of the PSA card a little better; and I don't really like that light spot just below Ty's neck on the SGC one.

Even with the above, however, I prefer the SGC card, overall, to the PSA one; mainly due to the larger borders. Like you indicated in your post, Leon, I also prefer larger borders; and even if not trimmed, the PSA card's top/bottom borders are a bit too narrow for my taste.

Plus, I really do not like creases.

Steve

Here is a side by side. I have to say, I like the PSA better (on left). The color, registration, and corners are just better. Leon, you could probably make this pic bigger.

Agreed. Polar Bear back isn't that special. Sorry, its just not. The aesthetics are so much better on the PSA in pretty much every possible way. No one could possibly deny that without the graded slabs

the side by side pics really bring out the qualities of the PSA card! it does seem to look much better.

Orlando!!! Great to hear from you. How are you?

The side by side pic is helpful. The PSA looks nicer, but it also looks much shorter. Confirming my vote for the bigger borders and rarer back

PB for sure. The SC is short (not saying trimmed, but annoyingly short), and a diamond cut (which always irritates me).
