SGC or PSA for your T206? And why?

Just keep in mind that people sell cards for a variety of reasons. While PSA has obviously graded more T206 cards than SGC over the years -- they've been around a lot longer -- it stands to reason that the overgrades will find their way onto the market at a faster rate (and more repeatedly). People will tend to hold on to their undergrades or perhaps try to have them crossed over or reholdered.

If you believe that PSA has a longer history of overgrading cards than SGC, then it follows that more of the PSA cards in the market will be overgraded.

Yes, if you are going to collect PSA on eBay, scrutinize your cards carefully, as they say, buy the card, not the holder.

I like SGC the best.I've only submitted cards to SGC,and will continue to do so.
But I do buy cards graded by PSA,and BVG also for that matter.It is true that you should buy the card and not the holder.

I think that SGC and BVG seem to give more of an accurate grade though,over PSA-just my opinion.I do not think PSA graded cards will bring more $$ for pre-war cards over SGC,but I don't sell cards,so I may be wrong-just doesn't sound right though.To each his/her own............
