Agree. SGC's grading has been brutally tough as of late. Still infinitely prefer them to PSA, as the aesthetics are so far superior it's ridiculous.

THIS...

not enough people are talking about this. SGC's inferior / inconsistent grading has been very PSA-like for the last 10 months. Jeez, i wonder why.

This is purely a matter of opinion. I know that many, like myself, think cards in PSA holders are much more aesthetically pleasing (at least when they are put in correctly sized holders). Like a piece of art hanging on a wall in a museum type look. I do agree that the cards against a black background "pop" more, but its their obnoxiously large/bulky slabs and giant number grade on the flips especially that detracts from the card inside. If that huge number grade on the flip werent so distracting, it may change my mind.
