Which T205 Cobb Do You Like Better?

The 4.5, because it has a little more of an "I'm an old card that still looks nice" vibe vs. "I'm an old card that is trying too hard to look like a shiny new card", which, whether or not it has been tampered with (not saying that it has been and probably hasn't), still always leaves a negative impression in my lower condition brain.

If you're a flip freak, then PSA. If you only care about the higher numerical grade then SGC. Perhaps the question should be about subjectivity and which card is felt to be most accurately graded.

If there was a huge difference in price, I'd take the PSA4.5 card.

4.5 easy choice for me. Both great cards

Are the borders of the PSA 4.5 that much shinier than the SGC 6 or is it just the pictures?

Here is a better scan for that purpose. The SGC one is further down the holder but they are the same height. Pretty close on the borders.

for me. The visible touches on the bottom corners of the 6 puts the 4.5 ahead all day, every day.

Both cards are beautiful and would be stoked to own either one. We are definitely nitpicking at this point. However, the 4.5 has a little bit of a tilt to it. I feel like I’m trying to decide who is more beautiful, Christy Brinkley or Elizabeth Hurley. I guess I’d sell whichever one brings back the most $$ since they are so close in eye appeal.

I would sell the Christie Brinkley, who although still gorgeous is getting a little long-in-the-tooth. Hang on to the Liz. You will reap the rewards.

agreed

The corners look better on the 4.5 but I like the look of of the back of the 6 looks cleaner IMO then the 4.5

But again both are great cards. but the 4.5 being in a PSA may sell for more if they were both in the same auction

Both cards are beautiful. I would take the PSA 4.5 over the SGC 6

[jsfriedm]

It might still be the scans, but the coloring on the 4.5 seems more intense and I'd prefer it for that reason. (Either would still be a bit of an upgrade over my SGC 4.)

Defintely the PSA 4.5
