Which card do you prefer?

You have waaaay more confidence in TPG than me. If I didn't know better, I might think it's a scam.

If it's for my collection, I'd go with the SGC only because I despise those PSA slabs that don't set the card correctly. If the PSA slab was sized right I would go with that one but only barely.

Not arguing, but I cannot for the life of me understand why someone would prefer a 4 to a 9 because of the slab's appearance.

When a card slides around inside the slab like that one would it just drives me nuts. I've taken cards out of those PSA slabs and sent them to SGC knowing that they would get a lower grade (which they did) and I'm still happier with them now.

In 99 percent of cases you just tap it back to vertical and centered and it will stay in place unless you really subject it to a lot of movement.

Serious question...what is keeping the card in aligned position once you tap it back into vertical and centered? The holder doesn't fit the card.

This comment is from someone who has never submitted a card for grading and only has less than 20 graded 1950s cards.

Its an auto racing card and I have absolutely no interest in either. Given that lack of interest, I'd take the one that would realize more when sold so I'd prefer the PSA 9.

This has not been my experience. Simply picking the card up and putting it back down will send it in all sorts of directions.

[ruth-gehrig]

Again, and maybe I'm wrong, but on the PSA holder I see no designed area in the holder that is supposed to keep the card secure. Am I missing something?
I don't see how knocking it back into position is going to keep it in that position

Same card ....That's great. I think it's about 50/50 who's wrong ....And I am not sure it matters as it's usually last holder standing, wins.
