It has been decided

That's the one big reason I go with SGC is because of the way the cards are presented in the holder.

Agreed, 100% - I have purchased a few cards in PSA and GAI holders, but will crack those out soon and sent to SGC.

SGC overall I feel is better suited for the type of cards we collect and quite frankly, they look sexier against the black.

In fact, I sent over a few today to get graded - will post when I get them back - super stoked!

SGC all the way

I like SGC too but sometimes there is a smudge or fingerprint on the inside of the case ans it really shows against the black insert.

I have only had a handful of cards graded by them, but I have never had that. That would be very annoying. I like all the cases, I think they display the cards nice. I have never bought a graded card, yet I have a several. I like buying raw and being the first to get it graded. Sure I don't always agree with the grade, but I like the cases. So if I was to get one back with a finger print in there I would be annoyed about as much as I am when I get grade lower than I expected.

I find that I really only buy graded cards because all of the work is done for me (I'm lazy) but there are times when i get the card and i notice the problems with the various holders-smudges with SGC/small cracks with PSA/and scratched slabs with Beckett-then I have to send them in anyway to get them reholdered. I really like the clam shell cases made by Ultra Pro that hold PSA and Beckett graded cards-I wish they would make them for SGC too.

+1

I dont even think it is close which one looks better. Not even in the same ballpark.

Andy, nice post of an unbiased perspective. Just solely off the looks..
