My understanding has always been SGC for Prewar and PSA for Post. Thats the general idea ive gotten from this board over the last few years.

It's too bad there's such a disparity in value between the two TPGs. I paid good money for a Bench rookie and his 1969 card, and would love to get them graded, but who knows when (if?) PSA will return to 'normal' pricing and be able to grade cards without it taking five years per submission. Not planning on selling the cards, but would hate to 'lose out' on value due to the holders.

I agree. I've bought some raw cards I would like to get graded by PSA, but I didn't want to pay $150 or even $100 per card to get them graded. I might try to get some graded by SGC if I decide I can't stand to wait any longer.

Or CSG. Given its financial backers, I would think it is a good bet for the long term to join the others as a major service.

If you think there is a great disparity between PSA and SGC - try selling a comparable graded CSG card. Ain't touching them with a 10 foot pole for now.

I did and I got just as much for it as I would have for a PSA card. Popular cards are gonna move.

On the very high end, yes of course. For the average collector say $100 to $1000 card I think the average sales price if only a couple hundred dollar less for SGC is almost counterbalanced with their cheaper sub price ($30 vs. $150 currently). Also, as an SGC seller you should/will need to be more patient and set your cards at BINS whereby auctions could lead to a disappointing result vs. PSA. Also, as is obvious, the most important factor is the quality of the card (like centering) in the holder vs. the PSA or SGC debate
