48/49 Leaf provides the most fair comparison for Dimaggio vs Williams prices that I can think of. It controls for numerous factors that might otherwise affect price differences, like both being from a very popular and widely collected set, both having effectively the same PSA pop report (~1100 ea), neither being rookie cards, and both having very similar poses.

The Dimaggio sells at about a 20% premium over the Williams in grades 3 through 5, and a bit more in the higher grades, although the data is more sparse and less reliable as you move up the grading ladder.

Here are mine side by side. I just received my Williams back from grading today. It was a PSA 3 when I bought it. Interestingly, I paid $3700 for my PSA 3 Ted Williams and only $1500 for my SGC Dimaggio.

Oh, and don't get me started about SGC not being able to place the cards in the same spot of their slabs... Arrrggggh!
