A poll on SGC vs PSA

[batkidiii]

I would like to start a poll on your favorite grading service.

I like the look of SGC, but have heard that PSA is still considered
the #1 choice with collectors and investors.

Which one do you prefer?

I went ahead and made a poll for you in your thread. I only included the 2 you named but I personally prefer Beckett over PSA.....however, since you only asked about SGC and PSA I didn't change it.......remember, you can always do a poll and there is also a testing forum to try stuff before you do it...regards

Thanks for the help Leon. This is my first poll question, obviously

SGC for prewar. PSA for postwar.

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.

Right on-- sgc pre war psa post war

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.

Leon could you add Beckett to this poll for me?

You will always hear buy the card and not the holder. For me SGC cards I buy the holder because I know the cards inside are what the grade says. As far as PSA I really buy the card cause the holder will be SGC in a matter of months anyways.(if it crosses) With that being said I always chose SGC for Pre-60's and I don't really care after that but maybe PSA for newer

I added Beckett but it's not really fair to them since a lot of folks have already voted. Maybe we can start another one soon with some more options?......

It's also not fair to the "real" and "true" collectors who don't have an option on the poll to voice their abhorrence of graded cards. We hardly ever hear from them ...

I don't think there's much of a debate that SGC is #1 with regards to pre-war cards.
