Which T205 Cobb Do You Like Better?

My SGC 4, which I've had since the late 1990s:

The PSA, by a long shot, if the images accurately reflect the color. It's a bolder image, and the back stock is less toned, in the images at least. The SGC is also a little off register (note the ear, cap).

In my eyes, corners and borders are there to 1) take damage and leave the image crisp and 2) hide the fact that cutting sheets isn't perfect. Image quality > border and corner wear, though these two are pretty similar their anyways. As a low grade broke loser collector, that the hobby doesn't care that much about the actual card image in general is a very nice thing.

As a sub topic, how about a poll of the T205 Tyrus with backs other than Piedmont or SC? I have one: a SGC4 with an American Beauty-Green. Sorry, as usual, no scan.

I chose the 4.5 with the caveat that it gets reholdered in an SGC flip. I think it presents some much nicer without the red and white billboard distraction.

As it stands it is 55 votes for the SGC 80 and 54 votes for the PSA 4.5....and I haven't voted . This poll confirmed my opinion. They are the same LOL.....
Thanks to all who voted so far

btw, John S, any member can do a poll, just sayin'....

I like the SGc better. The rounded corners make the PSA inferior despite the better color and registration. The SGC color and registration are generally ok on their own but look worse next to the PSA.

I chose the PSA only because it looks brighter with better color than the SGC. I prefer cards in SGC holders but if I'm just look at the cards, I like the one that just happens to be in a PSA holder.
