I would personally have anything 1930's through 1950's graded by PSA, and anything earlier by SGC. Most 30's through 50's will bring a premium in a PSA holder because of the set registry guys. |

"Reputable", meaning best $ return for your cards or "reputable", meaning they do the best job? PSA for the most part for $ and SGC for the company that does the best job. |

This question seems to pop up frequently. How about using the poll question as to what grading company you prefer. I think it would be interesting considering that most of the support on this board is for SGC, but I think alot do not say anything because they feel in the minority. |

PSA, GAI and SCG are all reputable card graders. |

I use PSA and SGC. PSA has smaller holders. They both have been consistant for me on grading. Both have provided problems as well but, both made the mistake right. I like the set registry competition, both provide this service as well. |

I like Lee's idea - poll it. This should be fairly interesting. It's too bad you couldn't set up the poll for different questions like the ones mentioned: |

You'll get lots of different opinions when you ask a question like this, because so much of it is subjective. For example, some people have mentioned the Global flip, where you can see the name of the card just by looking at the slab, as a good thing. I think that anything that's designed so I don't have to actually look at my cards is a BAD thing. |

I agree with Al, the plastic shouldn't be a determining factor unless that company that encapsulates the card in the plastic isn't reputable. Based on your choices, PSA, GAI, or SGC...all 3 are reputable. Can't go wrong with either of the 3. |

With all due respect, my post was meant to be interpreted as my opinion, given to the original poster of this thread about reputable grading companies. However, I'm not sure there was much hyperbole in my statement, nor was it meant to be any sort of indictment of PSA. And there certainly was no "advertising" in my statement, it was my opinion as a collector of graded cards. |

Take a look at less mainstream sets and you'll see that PSA does not have anywhere near the dominance it does with t206. This can be mainly attributed to the set registry. If there isn't heavy competition in the set registry, then you are not going to see many cards headed towards PSA. Looks at all the recent uncatalogued cards and see who graded them. Most went to SGC. The 4 I owned went to SGC and I know they won't be leaving those holders any time soon. |

Use PSA and overall you'll receive the best prices for your cards. Case closed. |

PSA is best bang for your buck -selling at least, but you've gotta like SGC's standards and consistency. |

What I get a kick out of is how most of the people on the board like SGC but when it comes to selling time alot of them will go with PSA for the extra buck even though they don't believe and question their product. |

Lee, you just answered your own question. When a collection turns into an investment, you have to maximize your returns. I may hate PSA's product but if I was in the business of grading for investment purposes only I would opt for whatever service gives me the best return. |
