Ebay experiment: PSA vs. SGC

[darwinbulldog]

I'm currently running a pair of Walter Payton rookies, an SGC 7 and a PSA 7. Both look equally nice to me. Here's where they stand with a couple of days left.

I would be curious to see where these end.

With the price of cards today, the set registry will probably collapse. Who in their right mind would pay some of the stupid prices for commons. After that the rush for PSA will probably cool off a lot.

Here's where they ended up. PSA sold for about 6% more than SGC in this case.

Interesting....thank you for sharing.

The images in the auctions do not appear to be of the same quality.

The image of the PSA card appears much clearer/crisper that that of the SGC card.
