I haven't sent anything to SGC in a few years. I am way more than happy with my last 3 PSA submissions.

The market and prices for SGC cards is growing in general. There used to be more significant price disparity than I am seeing in most cases recently.
The only thing(s) I would send to PSA at this point is vintage cards that have a legit shot at an 8 or higher grade where there is still a pretty large price disparity between PSA and SGC. I would also recommend taking a look on a case by case basis about any sport other than baseball as PSA still "owns" the market with a number of sportscard sets other than baseball.

It’s a toss up for me. I’m happy with both Psa and Sgc when it comes to vintage, but as Howard states examples in higher grade (7 or higher) Psa usually still trumps.
In the end, buy the card not the slab. More and more seem to be doing just that and I think its about time.

I recently graded 10 cards with SGC. 6 of the cards were at least a grade higher than I expected, with 2 of them +1.5 and +2.
3 of the cards were = to the grade I expected. 1 was below the grade I expected, by 1.5. Overall I felt pretty good about results compared to expectations. |

Doesn't seem to make much difference with prewar cards. The demand is so strong that they both sell well. Postwar, PSA has the financial edge if you are selling razor-sharp [heh] 8-9-10 cards, but otherwise, the still-too-long turn times at PSA are driving more stuff to SGC than ever before, esp. auction house submissions. I consigned a rare pre-war card for auction and the AH wanted it slabbed, so they went with SGC to get the card up and sold in line with our agreed timetable.
And don't look now, but CSG/CGC is coming on. There was a lot of resistance to the company but it has worn down to the point where AHs are starting to accept CSG (soon CGC) cards.

If PSA wanted to put SGC out of business all they would have to do is offer a black apron, CSG missed the boat too.
