Maybe we can do a more specific poll later but, again, I didn't really want to change anything with the original poster's question...

I Think SGC /PSA are equally as good and both company’s are subject to human error regarding inaccurate grading. That being said my first choice would be SGC due to having supported black inserts within there graded containers. There’s no real difference between the two leading grading companies.

I also believe the poll should add Beckett as well. This top three grading companies should be represented as legitimate grading source.

A "prewar" card just looks far superior in an Sgc holder.
Both visually and condition related.

I use and like both and there are advantages to using both companies.
So I can't vote since the choice is either/or.
Perhaps a couple more options like ....

c) like them both
d) do not like either

will help gauge the voting, so more can respond.

I typically buy cards that are already in a SGC or PSA holder. On occasion I find a card that is not graded and want to get it graded. I had a unique card that I wanted confirmation that they could grade it before I sent it to them. Both companies at first were hesitant but after providing documentation to support the card, SGC agreed to grade it. PSA spent 2 weeks reviewing my documentation and never proactivley contacted me back. At that point I called PSA to see what their decision was. They then told me to send it in with payment and if they could not grade it, I would get a credit from them for grading of another card. That did not impress me and sounds like they wanted my money before they would agree or disagree. I wasn't wanting a specific grade but just wanted them to confirm or deny it was a valid card (Authentic Grade).
