What grade do you think this Gordie Howe RC will get?

The back of the card is clean.. no marks.. stains etc.. No creases except the little ones around the top corners.

This is my very first card I have sent in to get graded. I sent it to SGC.. If I don't like the grade/holder I think I'll give PSA a try..
Anyway.. what grade do you think SGC will give it? What grade do you think PSA would give it (if different)?

PSA is the way to go for graded vintage.
As for the grade, Fisherboy makes it quite clear, anywhere between SGC 40 - 50 would be my guess as well.
What other vintage hockey cards do you own?

I think PSA would give it the same grade...3-4
Nice card

Not too many.. I collected a lot when I was younger in the '90s even started setting up in flea markets selling and trading when I was 12 years old. Got out of it because the hobby changed so drasticly.. Pack prices went up so high.. inserts galore.. too many brands and variants.. I recently started collecting again though however refuse to get into any of the new stuff. I'll only collect stuff from '51 to the 80's if I want to open a pack of something I would rather spend the money on a old wax pack than the new stuff.
I have 2 howe rc's. The other one is in poor condition. One crease going from one end to the other.. colors arent as bright and corners are much worse. 3 Gretzky OPC RC's (If they even count as being vintage). One of them I would like to get graded I think it's well worth a PSA 8 it's pretty close to perfect in my opinion. Every since Gretzky card from the 80's.. A Bobby Orr RC which is also in amazing condition. I'm going to see what SGC gives my Howe than go from there. I would like all these cards graded. I may ebay them in a few months. My wife and I are moving into a brand new place and I'm sure a lot of unexpected costs will pop up.

Providing the top two corners are not creased (hard to tell by scan) I agree with the rest,
possibly a psa 4-5.
1st OPC Gretzky Rookie got a 60 EX 5
2nd OPC Gretzky Rookie got a 84 NM 7
I'm really happy with my first submission of cards to SGC they were very accurate in my option and I really like the holder.. the black really makes the cards stand out. HOWEVER...
Take a look at these scans of the Durham Regional Police 'pre rookie card' of Eric Lindros that I also got graded.

That's pretty crappy.. I don't think I'll ever get another oversized 'tall boy' card graded by SGC again.
Influx, I was rooting for ya. I thought the Gretzky had a chance for
an 8 grade. Didn't know it was going to SGC. Thought it was PSA.
Anyways, at least they're real and didn't get rejected. I know this is gonna sound corny, but everytime I see your icon of nose picker Ralph....I feel for ya...it's almost like I'm replying to Ralph the slow dim witted kid LOL. Also, keep us updated on that Babe Ruth card when you get it back. Take care.
and I don't have a Ruth.. I have a bobby orr RC.. though waiting for grading along with that Gretzky.. So keep rooting for me!
Oh and as for the Lindros.. I banged it around to get it back into the center.. Had it hit it around pretty hard.. I was surprised the case didn't crack open or break in some form.
