Are there exceptions on a rare occasion, of course, but not with any regularity.

Why do you think collectors will wait for months for PSA to grade cards or either pay exorbitant prices for grading to get cards back quickly when SGC returns them in a week on a regular basis at a value price point?

Value is the most important reason along with the fact that they have a registry.

Can't necessarily argue with your point of the value of CGC versus SGC because VCP does not list CGC pricing so there is no way to easily find comparable sales.

My opinion is that they would be close but I don't have data to back that claim up so I will give you that one.

Agree PSA universally sells for the most over all graded cards the majority of the time. Sure everyone who loves SGC will say well the most a card ever sold for was in a SGC 9.5, the 52 Supposed Finest Rosen Find Mantle. My argument is if that was in a PSA holder it would have sold for double the number it did in a SGC holder.

Pre war and post SGC vintage sells strong but it has to be the right card and great looking. PSA doesn’t have to be, people pay for the registry/brand and a pop to a great extent.
