The Great Sports Card Grading Debate, Including PSA vs. SGC

[@mookiechillson]

Fair and balanced analysis! I enjoy grading with SGC for vintage because their assigned grades tend to closely align with their stated grading standards, whereas PSA seems to give you a grade or two lower than what their standards and my eyeballs would suggest. You two have a good thing going here!

Thanks so much for the feedback and your perspective.

This was such a great conversation. I really enjoy these types. Keep em coming dudes. Im a PSA guy if I could snap my fingers but when buying cards I just look at the card itself not the grader or the number. I also dont buy raw on anything over $100 for the most part.

Glad you enjoyed the conversation. We enjoyed having it.

Gonna head with SGC for their quick turn around and cheaper service in still new to the hobby. Plus in flipping aome stuff so need the cards back quicker

[@VintageCardVoyage]

Totally understandable. It really comes down to what you're looking for in the service, and both cost and turnaround time are important considerations.

@@VintageCardVoyage defintely, info here PSA is starting to get quicker turn around times, in your experience with both graders. What does PsA and Sgc both look for when grading? I dont have a subscription with PSA does it really matter?
